A Naval Makeover

Posted by Matt in October 31st, 2007

Sixty-five years after World war II’s Battle of Midway, the United States remains the world’s only naval superpower. U.S. planners now face the challenge of preserving that dominance while adjusting to a new world of threats. A maritime strategy unveiled October 17—a partnership involving the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—advocates a shift from sea combat to fighting terrorism, protecting shipping routes, and providing humanitarian assistance. Naval experts say the move is intended to reposition the service from a Cold war fighting machine to a post-9/11 prevention force. Human and economic “soft power” have “been elevated to the same level as high-end naval warfare,” one Navy official told the Washington Post.

US MILITARY ( NAVY ) ABLE TO DESTROY SATELLITES IN SPACE
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Navy succeeded in its effort to shoot down an inoperable spy satellite before it could crash to Earth and potentially release a cloud of toxic gas, the Department of Defense said Wednesday. A Delta II rocket lifts off, carrying a reconnaissance satellite that failed hours later. The first opportunity for the Navy to shoot down the satellite came about 10:30 p.m. ET Wednesday. The plan included firing a missile from the USS Lake Erie in the Pacific Ocean west of Hawaii to destroy the satellite. "A network of land-, air-, sea- and space-based sensors confirms that the U.S. military intercepted a non-functioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite which was in its final orbits before entering the Earth's atmosphere," a Department of Defense statement said....

Navy Showers
A navy shower is a method of showering that reduces the amount of water you use. 1) Get wet. 2) Turn off the water. 3) While the water is off, lather up with soap. 4) Rinse off. You get just as clean, and you help the environment and save money on your utility bills. http://coffeeghost.net

Military Plane Crash
Military plnane lands with 1 engine, no landing gear, skidding off the runway : POINT MUGU, California Monday Jul 30, 2007 A twin-engine turboprop aircraft with its left main landing gear stuck in the up position skidded to a safe landing at a Navy air station Monday.Twelve people were aboard. The civilian Grumman G-159 was on a shuttle flight from the military's San Nicolas Island to Point Mugu. The Phoenix Air plane carrying nine passengers and three flight crew members circled for about an hour to burn off excess fuel. The airplane came in with its left engine feathered — the propeller slowly turning — and it set down gently before settling onto its left wing, then skidded to its left off the runway and onto an unpaved area. Everyone aboard jumped out of the aircraft as fire...
