Then I clicked on the link and I nodded in awareness. Skew-T 'ciphering is an amazingly helpful skill. <br /><br />The Navy takes a different view of forecasting and do not put out percentages. As my retired buddy found when he told the CVN Captain that there was a 50% chance of rain, he was told he could be replaced with a coin flip. He learned his lesson.

OTSR routes them, but then there is a Bowditch, barometer, anemometer and QMs or AGs onboard to further add avoidance capabilities. The best software is using your head and experience. The problem is that sometimes, the mission requires a ship to go into the soup or you have to sortie and get pounded as it will cause less damage then pounding up against the pier.

Go and read about the Mark 14/15 torpedo and the hassels that came from the needs to get that fixed in World War 2. Senior leadership at Naval Torpedo Weapon Station Newport RI, telling the combat commanders that they didn't know how to use it properly and it is believed today that more then a few submarines that are forever on patrol are cause of the faulty early Mark 14's. Then we have aircraft issues such as the F2A Buffalo, SB2C Helldiver II, F111B. Then there are other weapon programs such as early issues with the M16 and the ammo being used (after buying the M16 the Army eqivalent to BuOrd changed the type of smoke less powder that fouled the gun quicker), Sgt. York ADA tank, early issues with the M2/M3 IFV, The Sparrow missile system, the Falcon Missile, the list could go on.<br /><br />People get thier careers involved in making something work. Then when the dead get piled up at someone's desk the answer is they didn't use the system right. It gets even harder when a congressional critter, some military leadership, and some retired mil leadership who are now contractors get thier butts on line in trying to make a system work. It isn't until the American populace and the 60 minutes crews are at thier door steps asking the hard questions that things get changed.Southern Air Piratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-86525787930534873942010-12-27T23:29:08.000-05:002010-12-27T23:29:08.000-05:00Like every other surface ship only more so.Like every other surface ship only more so.Grandpa Bluewaternoreply@blogger.com
