US Navy

Class designations denote their roles in the fleet. For example, during WWII, a CV was a regular Aircraft Carrier, a front line fleet combat vessel. CVE's were escort, or jeep (escort and resupply) carriers that followed the fleet, but were primarily in a support, rather than a fleet combat role, even though they started out as auxiliary vessels and were upgraded to combatants. CVE's were typically relegated to convoy escort duty, and also resupplied fleet carriers with supplies, pilots, and aircraft to replace those lost in combat. CVE's also provide close air support for amphibious landings, while the larger fleet carriers battled the main IJN capital ships in major engagements.

CVE's were similar to CVL's (Light Carriers), though they were much slower, smaller, and had less armor than fleet carriers. Due to the vulnerability of their hulls and minimal magazine protection, CVE's were called "Combustible, Vulnerable, and Expendable" by their crews.

CVL's were essentially converted Cruiser hulls, and though they had the speed to maintain pace with fleet carriers, in reality their narrow decks were unsuitable for aircraft operations. Due to this limitation, CVE's were actually a better ship.

In England its LEF TENANT. USA its loo tenant

Yes. Dive physics and demolition calculations. All this is taught in bud/s and only a basic initial knowledge of math is required.

Absolutely, as well as visit American ports when invited, or under certain emergency circumstances. Vessels of countries who are hostile to the U.S. must sail outside territorial waters, unless specifically given permission by the U.S. to come closer or into port. Of course with submarines, it's of course a different story, but it's still not that easy to approach the U.S. without being detected.

Known enemies or rivals of the United States whose naval vessels sail near U.S. shores are usually closely monitored by U.S. Navy warships and aircraft, though since the Cold War ended, they've gotten a bit lax at it. A Russian fast-attack submarine was able to slip into the Gulf of Mexico without the U.S. knowing about it until it was actually there - 20 years ago, that wouldn't have been the case.

Iran has recently rumbled about its "navy" sailing near U.S. shores. That's actually not a bad thing - it's much easier to sink enemy vessels when you know exactly where they are.

No, railroad workers work for private or publically traded companies such as BNSF, CSX, or Union Pacific.

Officers are issued side arms to ensure that the soldiers under their command fight. When in a battle, possibly on the losing side, poorly trained soldiers may choose to run rather than fight. The first line of defense against this is boot camp. The only truly effective means of making sure that soldiers fight is to build teamwork. A soldier rarely fight for Country, or purpose or cause. That may be why they enlisted, but when a battle begins, soldiers fight to save their lives, and to save those of their fellow soldiers. If this fails (as often occurs during wars where many enlisted men are draftees) an officer has every right under military law to shoot their own soldiers if they try and leave in the middle of a battle. This is done to prevent a mass exodus. Killing one soldier may ensure that many more stay and fight and can drastically change the course of a battle and even a war.

Need a DETAILED description of ALL markings and features to include, caliber, barrel length,etc..

No, Master Chief is in the fictional United Nations Space Command, or UNSC. That's why UNSC is plastered all over everything. Master Chief (or Spartan 117, or more simply "John") isn't even from Earth. There's several Halo books out there that can help you get the full story.

The Trident is solid gold

Yes, Master Chief and Cortana fled from Reach when it was falling and ended up from slipspace near the First Halo. And so begins Halo 1..

San Diego holds the largest concentration of Naval bases in California, southern or otherwise. In addition to the fleet's 32nd Street base (major surface combatants) there is also North Island Naval Station, Submarine Base at Point Loma (also know as Ballast Point among submariners), and the Navy SEAL Base offshore at Coronado Island.

An Act of Congress at the beginning of the 20th century states the names of naval vessels would be determined by type: battleships would named after US states, cruisers were named after major cities, and destroyers were named after US Navy heroes and leaders. Aircraft carries had not been designed or even thought of at the time so they were not included.

Someone who is fleeing from being drafted into the army..they usual go to Canada.

I was an Aircraft Electrician on 3 carriers. Tarawa, Essex(on 6 cruises)and the Saratoga. The squadron people called it :"the wire". As we caught the wire or missed the wire.

"Not me," says the man whose fists

Laid him low in a cloud of mist,

Who came here from Cuba's door

Where boxing ain't allowed no more.

"I hit him, yes, it's true,

But that's what I am paid to do.

Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'

It was destiny, it was God's will."

This shop left Naples and travelled to Australia with displaced persons mostly from the eastern European block. It docked in Fremantle on 9/9/49 for supplies and then on to Melbourne where the refugees disembarked on 14/9/49 and went to Bonegila for housing until resettlement.

It also made a later trip, departing from Hamburg, Germany, again with mostly displaced persons from the eastern European block. It arrived in Fremantle in Mar 1950.

Matthew Fontaine Maury (January 14, 1806 - February 1, 1873) obtained an appointment to the U.S. Navy in 1825, with the help of then Senator Sam Houston. He served with the U.S. Navy until 1861, when he resigned his commission in order to serve his home state of Virginia, during the Civil War.
