US Navy

A scuttle or hatch. Sometimes covered by a "Doghouse" if the hatch or scuttle is on a weather deck and left open for long periods of time inport.

If it's in good condition, matching blade & scabbard and has a frog with the bluing intact on the blade.

Easily 300-400$

Deciding which is "better," a Navy SEAL sniper or a Navy SEAL infantryman, depends on the skills of the person who is deciding which to aim for jobwise. If you are a marksman, sniper might be a better position. In either case, Navy SEALS are trained to perform as a cohesive unit, with each part being important to the whole.

The "skipper" is the person in command of a vessel. It does not correspond to a specific rank.

Yes! the Date of Birth for the United States Navy is October 13th 1775!

Cruisers are a warship. They are larger than a destroyer.

The US Navy doesn't (and didn't) like small combatants in their inventory; especially wooden ones, like the WWII PT Boats. Close to 300 of those boats were intentionally destroyed (burned) in the Philippines at the close of the war. Wooden boats are a maintenance headache; wood rots, and the maintenance inventory of the US Navy was designed & organized to support steel vessels, not wood.

Secondly, the USN distains small boat combatants. Small boats are necessary for taxing personnel from vessel to vessel and conducting errands in bays, etc. But not the combatants. Combatants such as the WWII MTB (Motor Torpedo Boats-aka PT boats); and the USN's Brown Water Navy in Vietnam, which utilized a host of riverine craft such as the Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast), PBRs (Patrol Boat River), Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats), and the Monitors were only a "wartime necessity." And all save some PBRs and two Swift Boats were retained in the US (and the Swift Boats were salvaged from scrap yards by some veterans!).

There is no money in small combatants when defense budgets are rationed out to the military. The big money is in "big ticket items" such as warships for the navy, bombers for the air force and tanks for the army. That's where the big money is justified. The army, navy and air force fight for their share of the defense budget each year that it's being offered.

Only lately, since Operation Iraqi Freedom began it's campaign, and then only late in the game, has the US Navy become interested again in small patrol boats. So far, probably no more than a hundred such combatants have been placed into service with the USN. These are not the PTs & Swifts of days gone by, but in some cases inflatibles, and civilian appearing water craft painted up in military schemes. There is no more official Brown Water Navy, just some small patrolling in troubles regions over-seas. Coronado in California is training them, as they did during the Vietnam war; Mare Island used to used old Viet War PBRs (those were all fiberglass), but the Mare Island closed down in '95, and tranferred what they had left to Sacramento. Sacramento is surrounded by rivers.

Well, the F-22 eagle can carry two SRAM missiles and four heat seeking missiles. The F-15 eagle can carry six bombs but the F-22 stealth raptor carries two SRAM missiles, four to eight heat seeking missiles or eight bombs.

The F-22 stealth raptor is much better than the F-15 eagle.

It is worth what someone is willing to pay. And I would be willing to pay a fair amount.

It is the distinctive unit insignia from the US Army's Quartermaster replacement training center. It translates to "Not for self but for others"

US Marines temporarily occupied the Mexican port of Veracruz in April 1914. This occupation was in response to the "Tampico Incident", when the Mexicans interned US Navy personnel at Tampico.

If the letter E is found in the acronym of a U.S. Navel ship then it is an emergency vessel.

If the car has disc brakes, uneven wear is a symptom of a poorly performing brake caliper. The piston is not fully retracting, or the caliper is not freely "sliding" on its' pins (bolts). Either defect will allow for constant contact of the brake pad with the rotor, creating advanced wear.

If the question concerns why the front brakes wear out sooner, then the answer is physics. 70% of the stopping power comes from the front brakes, the majority of weight is on the front axel, and you are most often stopping forward motion. All these factors create a much quicker rate of wear in your front brakes...which is normal.

the great white fleet was a sign off due to the fact it rarely participated in battle and the one achievement it made was sailing around to world prove Americas reach of power.

Absolutely none. Since combined assault was pretty well an expansion to socom 3 which did have blood they took it out completely to drop the game rating to Teen from Mature

In Halo: Reach, you won't be playing as Master schief, rather as Rouge Six, a Spartan III, different from Masterchief's 'Brand'. The A.I. isn't from what we know going to be Cortana, rather "Auntie Dot" as we know it. Hope it helped and hope to see you on Halo: Reach!

There are three types of audible alarms on Navy vessels: General Alarm
Chemical Alarm
Collision Alarm

Carriers are better in two ways: 1. They can be used as transports for men and equipment if necessary; due to their large flat decks and inside storage areas (which are for aircraft of course). HMAS Sidney, an Australian carrier was used for just such a purpose during the Vietnam War, when she transported Australian troops, Centurion tanks, etc. to South Vietnam in the 1960s. 2. Carriers can destroy any warship afloat anywhere, anytime, at any range. 3. Carriers are less expensive than battleships...they take up less "armor" & less processing of that armor. Battleships are worse in several ways: 1. Extremely expensive and they take a very long time to build...because of "armor" and "guns." 2. They are crowded with machinery everywhere...inside & out. And the warship cannot be used for anything other than for what it is...a "gun platform." However after the Vietnam War, they became "Missile Platforms" in addition to their guns. But not by very much; for example AFTER Vietnam, the Iowa class battleships only fired less than 900 rounds of 16 inch shells in military conflicts; this is TOTAL for all of them. Before they were expensively converted for missile usage, the USS New Jersey, the only battleship to fight in Vietnam...fired nearly 6,000 16 inch shells at enemy positions during the war. Consequently, the US got more bang for the buck BEFORE they became missile platforms. 3. Battleship guns can only shoot about 25 miles. And then they'd have to fire salvos of 9 at a time just to hit the target (3 salvoes would be 27 expensive shells, all hitting the water just so the splashes could be used to adjust the fire/each shell weighs ONE TON, etc.). The average American house hold (tax payer) wouldn't make that much money in a year. 4. Any missile or jet aircraft (or helicopter) can destroy a battleship with a hi-tech weapon at HUNDREDS of miles away.
