Naval law is clear, you have the mass, you have right of way. Period.

Also, that pleasure craft obviously didn't have an oar, if only to push off from the ship.

wow.

I just noticed at 1:41 the Ol' dirty bastard has a scar like I have, at the naval and nine inches above. meaning he has surgury in his abdomen.

that is really odd to have picked out, I am extremely protective of my scar from my surgery and here he is in a video just throwing it out. I learned something tonight.

Didn't really *learn much(although 14th century naval mines was surprising), but quite enjoyed the *animation and *music

You are partially correct, I listed the rank of a top submarine officer incorrectly, but not his position, I'm not in the Navy. He was Executive Officer of the first nuclear sub, but only First Lieutenant of the diesel. EDIT: He "qualified for command" of the nuclear sub...probably why I thought "commander" but properly should have said "was in command". Shortly after being assigned to lead the nuclear sub trials, after helping design and build it, he led the American shut down of the Chalk River reactor, lest you continue to insinuate he was an 'armchair warrior' that never held command.

◾16 OCT 1952 - 08 OCT 1953 -- Duty with US Atomic Energy Commission (Division of Reactor Development, Schenectady Operations Office) From 3 NOV 1952 to 1 MAR 1953 he served on temporary duty with Naval Reactors Branch, US Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C. "assisting in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels." From 1 MAR 1953 to 8 OCT 1953 he was under instruction to become an engineering officer for a nuclear power plant. He also assisted in setting up on-the-job training for the enlisted men being instructed in nuclear propulsion for the USS Seawolf (SSN575).


On December 12, 1952, an accident with the experimental NRX reactor at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Laboratories caused a partial meltdown. The resulting explosion caused millions of liters of radioactive water to flood the reactor building's basement, and the reactor's core was no longer usable.[7] Carter was ordered to Chalk River, joining other American and Canadian service personnel. He was the officer in charge of the U.S. team assisting in the shutdown of the Chalk River Nuclear Reactor.[8] The painstaking process required each team member, including Carter, to don protective gear, and be lowered individually into the reactor to disassemble it for minutes at a time. During and after his presidency, Carter indicated that his experience at Chalk River shaped his views on nuclear power and nuclear weapons, including his decision not to pursue completion of the neutron bomb.[9]

My father was an anesthesiologist at the Bethesda Naval Hospital for a while, and, pretty much like all patients being prepped for surgery, they would do a lot of rambling. And, also like drunk people, the things they tend to most want to talk about are things that they can't normally talk about. Apparently he heard some really interesting things.

I remember this being shown on a very old and famous TV talk show, can't remember which one. It was a humorous send in. It was right after I was separated from active Naval service and I never forgot it....the cigar weilding, leader of the pack and getting the girl up by stepping on her foot like one of those foot operated garbage can lids, cracked me up then and was delighted to see it again (it took one hour to find this piece of art work from so long ago). It's inspired me to think about making my own stop motion comedy piece.

as a former naval helicopter rescue crewman - there was no real reason to leave his bag there other than the crewman being stupidly over-safe. He could have clipped it on any carbuncle and it would have been fine. What wasn't safe is that one crewman's ho chi min facial hair. THAT's just stupid.

Actually it's on "Paracel storm" one of the standard maps. You need to get 10+ people to stand on the buoy & it appears.

That said Naval strike has been pretty decent from what I've played of it so far (beats the hell out of china rising which was solidly meh). The return of titan mode is a welcome addition too (though I still miss 2142).

The only naval vessel to be captured and not returned back to British is in my hometown... It happened during the Crimean war, we built a simple wall and spread molten tar all over our beaches.. Pretty much impossible to get thru that mess.. It's still in there, the tar allthout it's slowly vanishing.. All the other coastal towns were ransacked but ours... We still have the boat but we'll give it back if shit hits the fan with out easter neighbor, who are spreading lies already that Finland wants to join Russia... Don't believe that nonsense, nothing could be further away from truth.

Like the comic books of old leaving-out the subtle nuances of physics like whiplash, shock, or the smartest guy on the planet taking the word of a traumatized (or in this case, apparently love-struck-and-with-full-faculties building superintendent) hottie over a quick-fly-back and a glance through with x-ray eyeballs to maybe, make sure the gal was correct?!

Never could stand the inconsistencies of DC's bread-and-butter character, who seems to like his flesh-and-blood human male counterparts, becomes more dim-witted and effeminate with each passing year. Still at the Daily Planet for the day job? C'mon Superman, really?! You should at the very least have a gig with naval intelligence, I hear-tell they still issue the birth-control glasses you so effectively use for that awe-inspiring disguise.

Liveleak comments can be a bit hit or miss, but this one has some beauts. For instance, Parrdogg relates:

I was on a Australian naval ship once in rough seas and I saw the captain after the storm had passed and he was a white as a ghost, apparently during the storm the entire ship was 2 degress from capsizing!

I found out last year that the Tor was originally sponsored by the U.S. Naval Research Lab. As of 2012, 80% of the Tor Project's $2M annual budget comes from the United States government. I never knew of Hemlis till you mentioned it. Thanks for the info.

Thought the same thing, RE: burning water naval battle. haha.
