Totally much like JFK/Dallas. Who knows? Who believes all of the official investigation?
I agree. I think the Iowa Class battleships are some of the most beautiful ships ever used by the U.S. Navy.
Gabriela Lopez is apparently functionally illiterate.
As I understand it, there never was a conclusive determination of the cause of the explosion. But the Navy did recant the allegations against Clayton Hartwig and apologized to his family.
Oh wow, Victory at Sea was one of my favorite shows back then. And the soundtrack is really excellent!
Thanks for the reminder!
Since it only happened once, it’s tough to seperate design and proceedures vs. gross human error/intentional.
It could be used for the live event thread. ;-)
I believe the event starts at 5:30pm Pacific time.
So true.
On a family vacation to the Outer Banks, we toured the North Carolina (BB-55) and the fire control computer in the turret was amazing. As you stated, there were about 27 dials and wheels the size of a Golden Corral buffet station that would have been (today) encased in an ICU that could fit in the volume of a cigarette lighter.
From reading about the computer, each round had an effect on the wear of the bore and that wear was accounted for before the next round was fired.
I love those old ships!
“...will make him look like he is already president.”
Agree. A month ago I told my husband that he’s acting and looking presidential already, which is psychologically huge for the voting public. A little in the vein of the old career advice, “Don’t dress for the job you have; dress for the job you want.”
‘Hopefully the rain blows out of here by the time he speaks.’
No, no, NO. We desperately NEED the rain.
Whatever percentage of people are stopped by the rain, so be it.
They can stay home if they think they might melt - - -
Anyone from the east is USED to rain.
Maybe the easterners are BRINGing the rain!
It hasn’t really been ‘raining’ anyway - just a medium on and off drizzle, here in Ventura County, 1 hour from L.A., and 20 minutes from the Reagan Library.
I know, I know, we’re spoiled. : ^ }

Here’s one live stream link starts about 1:45 minutes.

You know he’s going to say “The Iowa is an example of when we used to build things and when America was great.
This looks like the live stream to Trump’s national defense speech on the Iowa Battlewagon. Another link I posted above this one.
