Navy Reverting DDGs Back to Physical Throttles, After Fleet Rejects Touchscreen Controls
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3771084/posts
Going back to physical controls to avoid potential sabotage?
Why wouldn’t Hannity call him out on that junk during his “tough” interview?
Possibly, may also be for better control. Could also be the electronic throttles had issues or weren’t sensitive enough - there’s a ‘feel’ to driving ships.
If it was strictly a sabotage thing then the rudder command systems would be involved as well. Sounds like this is just speed related.
Thanks for the information. We need to clear up the clutter to find the true data. Your “Dave” info is very clear, concise and on point.
ah ... I see it’s helm controls as well...this makes a lot of sense...especially when coming alongside for an unrep with another ship.
Upcoming livestream
AG Bill Barr speaks at a Fraternal Order of Police conference
Expected live at 10 a.m. ET: U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr delivers opening remarks at the Grand Lodge Fraternal Order of Police’s 64th National Biennial Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana
LOL Indeed.
Amen
Just Damn...
Mainland Chinese Military is moving into HK...almost an exact duplicate of Tiananmen. Bring in military from outside the area with no connection. It’s going to get ugly.
Absolutely heartbreaking
Great synopsis!

I’ve been talking to my wife a lot about this. Our only debt is our mortgage. We’ve decided that compounded interest is criminal.
August Mortgage Payment: $2234
Principal $568.87
Interest $855.42
Escrow $810.46
Yes our insurance is high because Florida, but interest being higher than principle payment is fundamentally wrong. This has to change. I don’t mind paying for money, but paying for that money over and over again is where I have a problem.
Here is a compelling interview with Jaco Booyens from a few months ago. He discusses his Christian-inspired movie intended to raise awareness of human trafficking. Please pass his along. Apparently, Booyens attempted to get interviews with CNN and MSNBC and was turned down. Surprising!

Thanks for the link, tang-soo. That Jaco Booyens guy is a very compelling speaker. What got me was after all that we here have been exposed to with respect to trafficking, I kinda thought...”yeah, yeah, I’ve heard that before.” Booyens brings up some stats that made my bald head grow hair.
Again...thanks.
Yes, be vigilant and pray.
That escrow payment is unbelievable.
Good one.
I hope he brings his bagpipes again. :)

taxes are in the escrow amt
