 Argentine sub surfaced during the Mar de Plata yacht race, snagging one of the buoys in the process.

We don't let Coast Guard aspies on board. I don't know if you're thinking radiation but that's a non-issue. They'll honk at you a lot and scream over a radio you don't have, and then proceed to get tangled as gently caress in buoy lines E: just like that guy I don't remember exactly who technically has right of way between a sub and a sailboat anyway, I think it's the sailboat but the sub will always yield regardless.

grover posted:The surface craft will typically yield first. But only because submarine hulls are really thick and HSS & HY steels have really high yield strengths. Simple physics, yo. - Vessels under power yield to vessels with restricted ability to maneuver, and sailing vessels - Sailing vessels yield to vessels restricted in ability to maneuver - Submarines are generally not considered restricted in maneuverability, but are routinely constrained by draft (i.e. the pathway deep enough for them is a lot narrower than it may look from the surface) - You need to run special lights or something to get restricted maneuver right of way tho, and mil boats don't do this because of terrists or something stupid, and lean on the horn instead - Whatever the rules say, if a sub hits a civilian ship, no matter how blatant the civ may be in the wrong, the sub captain is getting shitcanned, so they always yield

grover posted:The surface craft will typically yield first. But only because submarine hulls are really thick and HSS & HY steels have really high yield strengths. Simple physics, yo. Let's see what the nav rules say: quote:5. Who has the "right of way" on the water? The Navigation Rules convey a right-of-way only in one particular circumstance: to power-driven vessels proceeding downbound with a following current in narrow channels or fairways of the Great Lakes , Western Rivers, or other waters specified by regulation (Inland Rule 9(a)(ii)). Otherwise, power-driven vessels are to keep out of the way (Rule 18) and either give-way (Rule 16) or stand-on (Rule 17) to vessels not under command or restricted in their ability to maneuver, sailing vessels or vessels engaged in fishing, and, similarly vessels should avoid impeding the safe passage of a vessel constrained by her draft (Rule 18), navigating a narrow channel (Rule 9) or traffic separation scheme (Rule 10). The Rules do not grant privileges they impose responsibilities and require precaution under all conditions and circumstances; no Rule exonerates any vessel from the consequences of neglect (Rule 2). Neglect, among other things, could be not maintaining a proper look-out (Rule 5), use of improper speed (Rule 6), not taking the appropriate actions to determine and avoid collision (Rule 7 & 8) or completely ignoring your responsibilities under the Rules. Assuming the sub was unescorted and without a security zone around it, the sub would be the give-way vessel. Also what Snowden said.

Seems like it would be pretty hard to hit a sailboat with a torpedo, they're not very big.

I took these a month ago at bruntingthorpe in Leicester in the UK. Despite having lived here on and off over 20 years, neither me nor my dad realised the place existed. Crap pictures due to camera phone - it turned out to be a perfect day for photography, I was going to go back... Its rained every free weekend since. Hey! I found a Starfighter that didn't crash!  My dad pointed out that it probably did crash, hence it being here. Those wings - drat. I could stall that by coughing on it. What we came to see  A Handley Page Victor. I didn't realise any of these still existed, it's such an odd and beautiful design, with an utterly insanely massive tail considering the size of the rest of the plane. Shame its only job was a one way trip to a fiery inferno, but if you're gonna go, do it in style. Also, Sea Harriers are tiny.

That explains the comment from the guy doing tours (I'm an idiot and should have realised). "When did it last run?" "About 1982". Hah.

Crosspost from the Aeronautical Insanity thread; I took a lap around the NAS Fallon air park yesterday: UH-1:  F-14:  A-6:  MiG-23. This one surprised me, I always thought they were somewhat bigger:  F-4:  MiG-29:  MiG-17:  A-7:  F-86:  MiG-15:  F-8:   Navy F-16:  S-3:  A-4:  MiG-21:  F-5:  E-2:

For most of it's (quite long) service life it was used as a tanker, FYI. And they were finally retired quite a few years after the Falklands.

Most people regard the Vulcan runs on Stanley airport as a dick-waving exercise by the RAF but in reality it was Thatcher reminding Argentina that we could bomb the mainland. I remember reading a book written by some high ranking fleet air arm officer basically saying that the Sea Harriers could have run 800 sorties from the two carriers for the same amount of fuel.

J-20 #2011 (third prototype we've seen as of yet): Probably going to fly for the first time in public somewhere this week. They changed the intakes and clipped its vertical stabs. Progress.

Apparently super-genius enemy opsec sorcerers can reverse engineer it's sound profile or something? The Typhoon is impressive for its size but isn't very high tech, and didn't get the benefits from the Walker spy ring that other classes did. They're fairly noisy. That's one reason why the Russians kept the Delta IVs in service after the fall of the USSR but mostly retired the Typhoons - Wiki says there's one in service and it's a test bed, not a deterrent patrol boat. The props are (as you can see) visible when the sub is surfaced anyway so they're not hard to get shots of. E: oh god my tables E2:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPvyqB6hdwo
