Ken Bone Comeback posted:the disease is like definitely from prostitutes Reminds me of when I visited a minesweeper that was a museum ship in Omaha when I was 12. There was this WW2 vet there with his wife and he told me, unprompted, about how when he served on a minesweeper that it was so crowded that when one jackass sailor got a case of crabs, the whole crew ended up with them. God bless that old man

I had some pretty major orthodontic surgery done at Balboa when I was child. Of course in my case they had a visiting civilian specialist come in because that's who always did that kind of procedure there.

gently caress's sake, there's already a backlog of WW2 admirals and assorted other heroes who deserve ships now that the Spruances and Perrys are mostly gone. Where's the USS Rooks or the USS Halsey or the USS Ernest Evans these days, hmm?

IMO they should make officers go back to the early 1900s uniforms that made them look like singing telegram deliverymen or NYC apartment doormen. My theory is that Chester Nimitz always knew he could whip the Japanese because he'd had to wear this for years and years: Compared to that, Kamikazes ain't poo poo.

M_Gargantua posted:It smells like cat pee from the chemical used to pull CO2 from the air. All of your cloths will absorb it. Now I'm curious if the later diesel-electric subsmight've actually smelled better because they had to be surfaced and open to the air for extended periods. I mean probably not because the sanitary facilities were next to nonexistent by modern standards but I doubt they smelled like cat piss.

IncredibleIgloo posted:The "submarine smell" is a chemical compound, specifically amine. Neat, never knew this. That's definitely not the aircraft carrier smell, which is a mix of paint, JP-5, lubricating oil, non-skid coating, BO, nicotine, and farts. When I was a volunteer at the Midway Museum and my mother visited me she said the smell of my work clothes reminded her immediately of the years my dad spent on the TR in the 80s. Same drat smell.

The Valley Stared posted:Also, question for you all: I'm going to have my cert teach next week, and one of the instructors suggested I kick off my lesson with a Fitz collision sea story. The topic is rapid plotting, and obviously that played a role since we didn't gently caress it up too badly. You all think that would be a solid choice? It'll probably get their attention, if nothing else.

piL posted:Theres always local control of the rudder, but that tends to be slow and less responsive. Mechanical systems are likely to fail during battle damage, so local control needs to be ready to be taken on a ship at a moment's notice. But it's really warm and sleepy in Aft Steering... Sounds like a job for an air conditioner and a coffee machine.
