rplace Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @jimjimbo did you notice that on both your Shellback and my Bluenose certs the man in change is "Rex"? What is up what that? Boreas Rex and Neputunus Rex, what are the chances? I mean these dudes are legit right? No chance the Navy is making that S#!T up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hey shipmates @USNRET @jimjimbo dragging this old Navy thread back to the top to recommend a fantastic book. Good for landlubbers too. The Terrible Hours is not just about a terrifying sub stuck at the bottom of the ocean but of a guy (Charles "Swede" Momsen) I can't believe is not a universally known household name. Fantastic true story about an amazing guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 On 1/24/2018 at 12:07 PM, CECAA850 said: But will it take off? YES! (true story) When I was a kid, I had an aircraft carrier model ship. Probably three feet long. I was also into rockets so strapped a rocket to the back of the carrier. Went down to the creek and was going to power the ship down a fairly long and calm part of the water.... lit fuse.... ship took off, then went airborne!!! DId a view crazy circles in the air since it didn't have any wings or rudders to guide it... then (and I forget how/where) it came to an abrupt harsh landing.....sat there....then FFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BOOM, the backcharge (to deploy the parachute) went off for the final glory. So, yes.... the carrier might take off.... unless of course, it's on a conveyor belt?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
