Know your Nautical Terminology
lattice mast
Also cage mast.
A type of observation mast constructed with a hyperboloid structure using an array of thin columns at angles, crossing each other in a double-helical spiral configuration. Lattice masts were most common aboard major United States Navy warships in the early 20th century, particularly on dreadnought battleships and armored cruisers; they were largely replaced by tripod masts during the 1920s and 1930s.
USS South Carolina (BB-26) just before the US entry into WW1 
tripod mast
A type of mast introduced aboard warships in the first decade of the 20th century, consisting of three large cylindrical tubes or columns supporting a raised platform for lookouts and fire control equipment and later for radar antennas and receivers. In succeeding decades, tripod masts replaced the earlier pole masts and lattice masts. Tripod masts persisted in some navies until the 1960s, when plated-in structures began to replace them, and in other navies until the early 2000s, when stealth designs began to move away from any type of open mast.
USS Arizona (BB-39) in the late 1930s 
pagoda mast
A large and distinctive type of foremast installed aboard Imperial Japanese Navy battleships and battlecruisers during modernization and reconstruction of the ships in the 1930s. A pagoda mast was created by strengthening a ship's existing tripod foremast and adding platforms to it for searchlights, lookouts, shelters, and other structures, giving the mast the appearance of a pagoda temple.
IJN Kongō
The "Indestructible Diamond" of the Imperial Japanese Navy was sunk by USS Sealion (SS-315) in the Formosa Strait, 21 November 1944. USS Sealion was the only US and Allied submarine responsible for the sinking of an enemy battleship during the Second World War.

Thank you, rn, so much for keeping the lights on and the taps open here at Sanity Lounge.
I have learned so much from the Q threads. I would have curled up into a ball o depression at this point because of the way our country is being abused were it not for your tireless efforts to bring the Q message to us.

God Bless America!!!
Prayers up for Patrick and for those who loved him.
... and one more thing that makes me think the DeSantis announcement was part of the plan :
Trump posted the parody of the tech glitches shortly after. It’s almost as if he knew in advance there would be tech glitches.
In! disputable. In on page 1 just below the fold! Thank you ransomnote for the shiny new thread, and for all you do! I support you in the current argument that you are handling well.
Ransom; Thank you for the update on Bagster. Unexpected, but I am happy to learn that Humblegunner has been calling him!
Prayers will continue.
IN!
