Capture of the German U-Boat U-505

Polar Bear Attacks U.S. Submarine

A polar bear chewed on the rudder of a U.S. submarine and then attacked it after the sub surfaced in the ice pack during maneuvers between the North Pole and Alaska this spring, the U.S. Navy reported last week.

The submarine "Connecticut," a new Seawolf-class sub, had partly surfaced with its sail and rudder sticking through the ice on April 27. An officer then looked around outside with the sub's periscope and noticed it was being stalked by a polar bear.

In a series of pictures captured on the periscope's camera, the bear apparently chewed on the rudder, then batted it around. The Navy says the damage was minor.

YELLOW SUBMARINE

1 ON THE CHARTS
1 on all the UK charts, with four weeks as the Record Retailer 1 (August 18-September 8 1966) and 13 weeks in the Top 50

RECORDED
May 26 1966 in Studio 3 at Abbey Road, completed in Studio 2 on June 1; the master was Take 5.

RELEASED AS A SINGLE
In the UK on August 5 1966 - Parlophone R5493

PERFORMED LIVE
Not performed in concert by The Beatles

and

'Yellow Submarine' was issued with 'Eleanor Rigby' as a double A-side single simultaneously with the album Revolver

'Yellow Submarine' was written especially for Ringo to sing - most Beatles albums included a song featuring Ringo on lead vocal

The song inspired the creation of the extremely successful Yellow Submarine movie, released in 1968 and reissued in upgraded form in 1999

 

I once expressed an interest in Submarine Service, but failed the first question:
"I like to sleep with the windows open     True___  False___ "

One of my "voices" is very fond of telling me that I'm about as useful as a screen on a submarine.....

NEW THREAD

[Kathy in Alaska]

The second Friday huh! Sound likes fun. How many chefs? Cooking for how many?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Way to go, ms feather!!

[StarCMC]

Hey - just caught up on the thread! Is there anyone on right now who can help me with identifying an Army medal of honor??

[HiJinx]

There are two Grill Sergeants...
We feed from 50 to 60 people...co-workers and a few spouses.
The company provides the meat, the coffee-fund provides condiments, drinks, and ice.
The rest of the food - sides, salads, chips, deserts, etc. is pot-luck.
It is a great way to show the gang how much we appreciate all the hard work they put in to our systems.

[HiJinx]

Must be a pretty big freezer to fit MoJo, tom and Beth!

Oh yeah, big freezer out in the garage.

Gotta be careful, though...Arizonans are known for keeping family members in the freezer...

We've had 3 cases in the last 5 years where a deceased person was found in someone's freezer...eeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!

[HiJinx]

Yeah, hold on a sec, I'll find a pic of one...

Congressional Medal of Honor Society

Link takes you to their home page, all the medals are shown.

Here's the medal awarded to soldiers:

Their web site has a history of the medal and pictures of the medal as it has matured since the Civil War.

[StarCMC]

Ooh -- I guess I was too specific -- LOL! That's what happens when those of us who know only a little military lingo try to talk it!! LOL! This is a wierd question. I do scrapbooks and have some Army stickers that I was using on a page about KJ's activation/deployment. One of the stickers looks just like the Distinguished Service Cross, except that instead of the ribbon being blue and gold with red border, it is blue witha thin gold line down each side. Does this ring a bell -- or did the sticker company just try to some up with something official looking, but not truly official??

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey, Star! Post your exact question on the Saturday thread. There is bound to be some Army guy who can help you.

[HiJinx]

Kathy, I'm on it...

DoD or Army or someone like that has a medal recognition page. I'm going to go scope it out and give Star the link. If I can't ID it from her description, she'll have a chance to look them over.

I did this for somebody last Spring...her USMC uncle had an AF ribbon...he must have been attached to an AF unit during 'Nam.

[StarCMC]

BTW - here's a GREAT military website. Lots of good stuff!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Forget what I said. Looks like HiJinx has everything under control. Thanks, HJ, for jumping in so quickly with helpful information.

[StarCMC]

This is the Distinguished Service Cross that I found. The sticker I have has the same medal, but the ribbon is blue where this picture shows red.
