ARe those like, throttles or something at easy-to-hit-walking-by level? Or maybe some important gauge that needs to be checked except we don't have eyes in our ankles?

It’s a bubble level to measure how much the ship is leaning side to side, but it’s been installed lengthwise.

That’s not a pitch meter though. I’ve also never heard of pitch being measured in degrees on a bridge.

There was one in the pilothouse of both DDGs I was on. As a seaman driving the ship, it was always a game to see how much roll you could get. A lot of pitching is a bad thing and means you're in some making GBS threads seas and need to turn. I don't know that anyone ever really looked at the pitch gauge or whatever it was called, but it was absolutely there.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:I've never heard of pitch being measured at all, I'll add the caveat in surface ships Trim is important, but you measure trim by comparing your forward and after draft; the boat bends alongs its length so the angle of pitch at any given point isn’t necessarily indicative of anything. I’ll caveat that I once sailed on a roro and we had a length-wise level in the ballast control room. It wasn’t a clinometer though, more like an oversized carpenter’s level. That was to keep the chief mate from snapping the ramp off on the dock. Mr. Nice! posted:There was one in the pilothouse of both DDGs I was on. As a seaman driving the ship, it was always a game to see how much roll you could get. Roll’s transversal though. You don’t need nearly as much precision when it comes to pitch. We usually adjusted course depending on how bendy the boat was getting. Gotta love the lakes.

Oh yeah, I remember now Andy McNab claiming that was the cause of Di getting a new haircut. Apparently a flashbang went off and a spark or whatever caused part of her hair to catch on fire. But it's a Andy McNab story so you know, grain of salt.. Also his story about throwing a dummy from a helicopter when they were doing a fast rope exercise as Prince Charles watched from the ground and seeing a guy get up and dust himself was pretty  GD_American posted:Man who got captured big fan of man who is not fan of people that got captured Posted this elsewhere but it's relevent. Handsome Ralph posted:Oh yeah. He came and gave a speech to my ROTC Battalion (as did Mike Flynn but that's another, much milder, story entirely). Even in 2008 he was very chuddy and "ALL MY LOVE 4 GOD AND COUNTRY". I just remember like the first 3/4 of him talking was about his training and then getting shot down in Mogadishu which was pretty interesting, followed by like 20 minutes of "AND THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO KEEP FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR, GOD BLESS AMERICA, RAWWWWWR." Like to the point everyone in the room was a little side eyed about it.
