If you are refering to MCPON, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, then that title is currently held by MCPON (SS/SW) Rick West who took over that title on 12 December 2008.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet strategic bomber had six engines. It is no longer in service. Also, during WWII, the Germans made a powered glider called the Me-323. In the '70s, the US made three prototypes of the XB-70 Valkrye. Besides, the Boeing B-52 also appears to have 6 engines. Actually, it has an engine pod in place of a single engine per support pole. The engine pod has 2 engines each, so if you ever see a huge military aircraft in the US with 6 engines, then you must know that it's actually 12!

The driving distance between Chicago, IL and Salt Lake City, UT is approximately 1405 miles. The driving time would be approximately 22 hours if you were to travel non-stop in good driving conditions. (The driving time does not take into consideration conditions which may extend trip time such as weather, road work, border crossings and rush hour traffic in urban areas.)

The U.S. Navy currently fields the F/A-18 C/D Hornet (Fighter) & F/A-18 E/F (Multi-role Fighter) for carrier and land based combat operations. The U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) uses the F-16 Falcon for training.

Though the F-35C Lighting II Multi-role Fighter is scheduled for Navy use, it's currently only in service as a training platform, and hasn't yet been deployed for active service in the fleet (assuming they don't cancel the program).

Roger Staubach wore #12 during his career with the Cowboys.

It is simply the hull number assigned to the ship. There are typical a number of ships in a series or type and they are numbered sequentially. It is not an indication of how many ships there are total.

In most cars that have built in antennas located on the windshields, you will notice a very thin line or wire that runs around the edges or up through the center. If you see this little wire imbedded into your window you can be sure to have located your antenna. If it

When fielding any new equipment, it will take some time to replace the former generation. Another thing to look at is the number of aircraft needed for the Navy to perform its mission. This being said, the latest version of the F/A 18 Super Hornet will be in service long after the F 35 is delivered.

The Electrical Officer reports to the Chief Engineer. They are responsible for the electrical systems of the submarine. That will include the power supplies, batteries, and internal communications.

Prior to 1920, the USN used the designations B for battleship and then a hull number, such as B-1, B-2, etc. Same for destroyers, etc. D-1, D-2, etc. After WW1 (1918) a wider variety of naval vessels began to enter the USN inventory...blimps (airships/balloons), submarine tenders, salvage vessels, aircraft carriers (heavier than air vs airships), etc. Those vessels REQUIRED more than one letter, such as the aircraft carrier; the carrier (CV) was "C" for carrier and "V" for heavier than air (airplanes, not balloons). So, for paper work purposes, two letters were needed to maintain consistency and uniformity. Without such an organization, confusion would result. In 1920, the new designation for battleships and destroyers became BB & DD; "B" for battleship and "D" for destroyer, the second letters "B" and "D" meant nothing, other than making battleships and destroyers easier to document during administrative functions.

The number of active duty submariners is always a fluid number, being it's an all-volunteer service of the Navy. The numbers have always been historically small; the Submarine Force typically only comprises about 5-6% of the Navy's overall personnel.

In today's terms (assuming 300,000 active duty sailors), given the number of active submarines, newcon (new construction) boats, those who are in the training pipeline, and those in command / support units, the number is likely between 15,000 and 20,000.

It's important to understand that like most hazardous duty services, there are physical and mental requirements that must be met by all volunteers before actually being allowed to a submariner. The most obvious is claustrophobia; unless you're comfortable being in tight, cramped spaces for weeks at a time without seeing daylight (and most people aren't), being on a submarine crew isn't the best career option.

At present, the F/A -18 is the most common USN fighter.

You need a minimum High School diploma or GED for Enlisted service, a 4 year college (accredited) degree for Officer programs.

Regardless of your education, you still need to pass the Navy's entrance exams, which are pretty thorough across all subjects. Its score determines whether or not you get the job you want, or will be scrubbing decks.

A group of ships is called a 'fleet', as in the English fleet fought the German fleet at the Battle of Jutland during the First World War.

No they don't own ships.

They use a third party shipping company which carries the car in containers and gets them to the US port.

Many car companies find this expensive, so they manufacture in the US (locally).

Mercedes/Audi/BMW use large freight carriers to get the job done.

The right front brake probably has a bad caliper. The calipers hold and move the brake pads . If the right caliper has a stuck piston , the pressure will not be the same as the left side. And, the piston on the caliper may not be returning to it's correct position causing pressure to stay on the pad . You can verify that by driving the car and compare the temperature of the right wheel to the left wheel. If the right is considerably hotter, there is a problem with the caliper. BE CAREFUL....BRAKES GET HOT!!!!!

Stern Planes on a submarine are similar to tail wings on a plane; they serve as trim control for the boat, i.e., allow for more precise depth control.

Fairwater or Bow planes are used primarily to get the boat to an ordered depth'; once there, both planesman (Helmsman and Planesman) use both sets of planes to maintain depth control.

For example, the diving planes might be used to get a boat to 150'; once there, if more precise control is requireed (say moving to 140' or 155') the stern planes would be used.

Stern planes can also be used to help a boat change depth while remaining level; the dive planes change depth, while the stern planes maintain the trim, or level, of the boat as it moves through the different depth changes.
