16 inch gun training of an Iowa class Battleship

ELee says...

Interesting. I just reread info about the 1989 explosion in turret 2 of the battleship Iowa that killed 47 sailors. Looks like it was due to over-ramming unstable powder as part of an unauthorized 'experiment' using 5 bags of the wrong powder instead of the standard 6. Of course, the Navy covered all this up and blamed a sailor for killing everyone.

I lived there for 19 years. As far as I know it has only improved. I don't mind being down-voted for having wanted to and being proud of moving as far as possible away from my "home" as I possibly could. It's all about adventure and challenging concepts; getting out of your comfort zones; it paid off nicely. I doubt I would have found one of the most confounding experiences of the Universe that a human can have if I had not begun challenging everything I was taught in such a closed-off, conservative place. I grew up close to Amish country! It actually took some willpower in order to start shedding and rebuilding a lot of ideas about the way thing's actually work as opposed to the ways the media tells one how it works.

For in-house Navy talent---I'd say they've found the guy to do the leader for the "Top Gun II" trailer...
Funny to watch it to Overwerk/Daybreak...

enoch says...

and its probably already 15-20 yrs old.
i remember when i was in the navy in the early 80's and they had sea-wiz.
15 yrs later i see in a popular science article on the NEW and AMAZING sea-wiz.

well,was not so new and not so amazing.
broke down constantly.
they would run a test....would last like 30 seconds..and then you would hear over the 1mc "FC3 kristoferson..quarterdeck".

happened..every..single..time.

Louis C.K. & Jerry Seinfeld Take Louis Yacht Out For A Spin

chingalera says...

Naw man, a boats' referred to as a submarine...if yer Navy-But seriously, any ship or boat used primarily for recreational jaunts...is a yacht.

Why does millionaire frikkin' Seinfeld drive such tiny POS death-mobiles!? He must own at least ONE car that won't get him killed??

I think I'd class that more as a boat, than a yacht.
