C.M. Kruger posted:One of the stupider things about the LCS hull corrosion issue is that the Australian ferry company building them has tried to blame the Navy for causing the corrosion. "Manufacturer's warranty void if ship is placed in water." Reminds me of the RED camera company. Warranty void if you change lenses with the power on.

GuardianOfAsgaard posted:What? That's a Type-21 Frigate which definitely does not use pump-jets. Where are you getting that from? yeah my bad i didn't realise it was a type 21, i was replying to the stuff about the LCS in which case disregard the parts about waterjets, but the stuff i said about props and shafts still holds true hell come to think of it i've been on a ship which had to stop one shaft underway with the other still blasting away and the prop didn't tear itself to pieces

Two Finger posted:yeah my bad i didn't realise it was a type 21, i was replying to the stuff about the LCS We always bound up a prop if we had to go underway with one main, since the lube oil pumps were powered by the mains. Also, no anodes on the LCS? They're pucks made of nickel bolted to the hull. How much money could that have possibly saved?

"Manufacturer's warranty void if ship is placed in water." Not to defend the lovely ship company*, but I believe they did originally have cathodic (or is it anodic?) protection on the ships, but because of budgets cuts or price overruns or something they were told to remove them, and a bunch of other stuff, to lower costs. * there's a reason Australia doesn't buy its own warships from them.

I had a member of my family that served on the Forestall. I don't know what he did, I just know the hat I got from him had the scrambled eggs on it. I looked up the ship to find out more about it and holy hell that thing was indestructible

Pound_Coin posted:The drone ships so far have been called Just Read the Instructions and Of Course I Still Love You For those not aware, those are named after fictional spacecraft from Banks' Culture series (which are by all accounts excellent books overall - I liked 'em anyways) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series And the launch itself, plus subsequent 1st stage recovery (all autonomous, mind you - nobody at a joystick or anything) is one badass thing, then the fact that I and millions of others were able to watch it all happen live from around the globe? Also badass. Good job humanity!

Verisimilidude posted:Speaking of old dudes doing awesome poo poo, here's a kendo match between a 93 year old and a 102 year old. From a while back but can we appreciate the fact that the 93 year old fellow starts on one knee and gets up in one fluid motion? I know people half that age who can get from kneeling to standing a quarter as fast.

I like how they stop wrestling half way through, and it just becomes a straight-up dance routine.

It also had a lot of old timer wrestlers annoyed, just from that Gif. Though it ignores that it's basically from the start of the match, and is their version of a test of strength moment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLVV_d3vKdY Video of a canadian band playing out. It's all well and good until about 6:17 where the camera guy gets sucked up into the crowd and shoots a bunch of footage while crowd surfing. Very rad imo

Nobody really knows; the punch was too fast to see if it connected. Ali himself didn't think he connected, but his hands were so fast, it could have very well been that he had hit and not realized it.

We need to use advanced gene-splicing techniques to combine Mohammed Ali and Bruce Lee to create Brohammed Alee, the greatest punch-man of all time.
