Ditto on the girl. Not to be too misogynistic but her titties are really fat and I'd like to put my penis between them. I hope that's not too graphic for the lurkers  Has is house an apartment or barracks? Because if that's what Navy Barracks look like now, holy poo poo. I've never been one to be all "back in my day!" But back in my day  Have a picture of the USS Blueridge taken from a PLAN Jiangwei. Got a very, and oddly thorough tour of it. It was spotless and an elisted dude we talked to said they cleaned and painted for a month straight in preparation. Despite the immaculate appearance you could tell it was a sub-par ship. There was linoleum everywhere on the bridge and CIC. And there was startlingly few fire hoses and the ones we saw were no longer than eight feet. There were also not as many QAWTDs as you would think for a combat ship. dr cum patrol esq fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Jan 4, 2013 |

grover posted:A friend of mine who toured a PLAN ship about 15 years ago said he was appalled with the lack of any sort of concern for smoke or damage control. Nevermind halogens in cable insulation, he said things similar to you- linoleum, carpet and wood everywhere and virtually no indication of any serious damage control like fireproofing, power casualty risers, EEBDs or the like. Did you notice a lot else like that? I'll get some more pictures up, just have to black out some faces. But it was exactly like your friend described. Technology wise it seemed pretty primitive. Didn't see a computer or LCD screen anywhere, navigation seemed to be analog. When we wrote up our inputs for the report we acknowledged that they may have sanitized for our arrival but it din't look like there was anywhere for electronics to go.

This was the main console on the bridge, and the only console. It's a blurry quick snap because we were asked not to photograph the inside of the ship.  This was the only fire hose on the forward main deck. To be fair, reviewing the pics there seems to be plenty of DC equipment on the flight deck, just not the rest of the ship.  The ship was immaculate, especially from what we've seen via other methods.  We pretty much had the run of the top side.  Plenty of arrays, just no user end equipment. They either sanitized the Bridge/CIC or they have another compartment to use it for whatever reason.  There's more pics but I didn't really feel comfortable posting them. Even with blacked out faces some may not appreciate it. Also, we were asked not to photograph the interior of the ship. Navy intel nerds will know why it was surprising to just roll up on this out of nowhere  And have a Jianghu with the rear end end of at the time a missing Kilo.

Vasudus posted:OSINT (open source intelligence) is a semi-new and pretty interesting field. With social media being the thing it is now, it only makes sense to apply intelligence analysis to it. FBMS and then known as FBIS was created in 1941 and exists to this day as OSC. It's operated by the CIA. OSINT as intelligence discipline is pretty old. The data mining of social media is mostly handled by NSA (allegedly not targeted at US nationals for intel oversight reasons, yeah right) and the FBI is pretty deep into monitoring social media too, for obvious reasons.

Everybody always talks exocets when the Falklands comes up but another interesting thing is that the only nuclear submarine to ever score a kill was during the conflict. The aptly named HMS Conqueror.

Christoff posted:Was there a Military book club?! It's an extremely complex issue that stretches all the way from the depression through current day. Each decade all saw various different reasons as to why (all under the pretext of hurf durf, freedom). The extremely over simplified version is that nobody really cared about communism and socialism prior to WWII. We had socialists run for president, communism was quite active. Even Vice President Wallace was a public Soviet sympathizer (he's a pretty cool guy overlooked by history, look him up). But when the USSR emerged as a world power, an antithesis to the US, the justification was hatred of communism. Which makes sense, in order to energize a war weary populace against a country that pretty much had it worse than anybody in WWII to include the Jewish people took you'd have to fabricate a serious ideological schism. It worked out well because it turned out that Stalin and the USSR were pretty corrupt and evil. However, the common reason for average Americans hating them (being communist) is a little shortsighted. It could've just been because they're evil.

Red Crown posted:No, I've read that somewhere reliable, I forget exactly where, though. The plan was actually very Cold War style probably-technically-legal: The entire crew of the Iwo Jima would be "retired" and then immediately re-hired as "contractors", I forget if they would be U.S. government employees or work for a shell company. Basically, it would have been the flimsiest of pretenses to deploy the Iwo Jima under command of whoever was in charge of the British task force. As I recall, we had the paperwork ready and everything. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...klands-War.html
