Road Trip: Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California

Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach is a United States Navy weapons and munitions loading, storage and maintenance facility located in Seal Beach, California with detachments in Concord, Fallbrook, and San Diego, all also in California.

The command exists to provide base operating support to the Navy's ordnance mission. Command and tenant personnel provide munitions receipt, segregation, inspection, maintenance, storage, issue, and assessment services to Navy operating forces and other Department of Defense and homeland security entities. Overall, the command supports the provisioning of missiles, torpedoes, and other ordnance to a majority of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

NWS Seal Beach occupies 5,256 acres, has 230 buildings and 128 ammunition magazines providing 589,299 feet of ammunition storage space. Ammunition is moved from storage to the docks on 56 miles of railroad line and 80 miles of road. The base owns 130 pieces of railroad rolling stock and 230 trucks and trailers to move the ammunition which is loaded onto ships using six mobile cranes that can lift up to 90 tons.

The Weapons Station is also home to the West Coast site of the World War II Submarine Memorial. The Memorial is dedicated to the over 3000 submariners who lost their lives in United States submarines in the 52 submarines lost during WWII. There are also plaques dedicated to those who lost their lives in submarine accidents during the Cold War. The Memorial is located outside the main entrance to the Weapons Station on Seal Beach Boulevard and is accessible to the public.

Good evening, yarddog...kinda chilly out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m ready for a vacation, but it is not to be. LOL! I am taking a day here and day there.

Did you get any of the Texas rain?

ping to post #22.

[yarddog]

Yes it does look cold. I think that was a time when they thought the war would be over in a couple of weeks. Then the Battle of the Bulge began.

[left that other site]

No...it’s NICE now, and the Moon is Gorgeous!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...how are you and Zeus doing?

I’m with Tweety...I was hoping for Friday. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey...that’s me. As soon as I leave here I go pick up my taxes.

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))...I and Zeus are doing fine.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s looking dim for seeing the moon later tonight.

Sunset isn’t until 9:19pm. It’s blue sky now but clouds are supposed to be coming in.

Did you have good lessons today.

I am off for home, and to pick up my taxes.

[yarddog]

The French Consul with two combat engineer vets. He awarded them some medals of which I have no knowledge.

Excellent lessons today!

Only two weeks to the first recital!

EEK!

:-)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, ML!

*HUGS*

Itchy trigger finger? Moi?

Guilty! And after the events of the last couple of weeks, rightly so!

I'm sorry I've been so out-of-pocket lately - being driven from pillar to post! I hope things are going well with you!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Spoonful Of Sugar
April 15, 2014

Read: Psalm 19:7-14

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. . . . Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. —Psalm 19:9-10

Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 27-29; Luke 13:1-22

Where is Mary Poppins when you need her? I know this sounds as if I’m longing for the good old days when cheerfully unrealistic movies featured characters like this fictional nanny, but what I’m really longing for are people with a vision for the future that is realistically optimistic. I yearn for joyful, creative people who can show us the positive side of what we consider negative, who can remind us that “just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.”

David wrote a song that expressed a similar truth. In his words, “the judgments of the Lord” are “sweeter also than . . . honey” (Ps. 19:9-10). Seldom do we hear that truth is sweet. More often we hear that it is bitter or hard to swallow. But truth is so much more than medicine to treat what’s wrong. It’s the diet that will prevent disease. It’s not an inoculation or an injection. It’s a gourmet meal that should be presented as a culinary delight, enticing the hungry to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (34:8).

We sing “Jesus is the sweetest name I know,” but some of us present Him as if He’s gone sour. Pure truth, untainted by pride, is the sweetest, most refreshing taste of all to those who hunger for spiritual sustenance. And we have the privilege of serving it to a starving world.

Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know. —Long

The truth of the Lord endures forever. —Psalm 117:2

We didn’t get a drop, though we had rain clouds right over us. :(

Wish you and your mom could take a little “get-away” somewhere nice and peaceful where work can’t find you!

Same for Lauren! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope your Monday went well. We got up to 48 today. I’m really glad I resisted the urge to wash my car this weekend. My way home was on streets with melting water running from curb to curb. And the intersection on my street is a wall to wall lake. I sure hope the city is working on thawing the drains.
