I’m familiar with the interval position fix updates and augmentation methods to the navigator on airborne platform but not going into that even.

I try to be very careful and only post what I know to be in the public domain. Even if it’s common knowledge within my engineering community if I can’t find a web page on it I try to avoid posting specifics.

Plus with a sub it’s fairly common knowledge what the primary nav method has to be. Inertial. However how they sweeten that up and how often they do it is none of my damn business 😎

I always found the comms interesting with TACMO aircraft hanging an antennea out for miles and in a circular pattern. If I was the enemy I would track those TACMO aircraft.
I wonder if our SOSUS is stil active and effective with quiter subs.

Wouldn't I love to have a beer with you and tell you just how close to dead-on you were...

Think 3 dimensional.

:cool:

I gotta quit here. What I know is 20+ years old, but still.

Silent Service.

Don’t know a whole bunch of that area other than the basic physics of signal attenuation in various mediums. That gives you your answer on why we had to have TACAMO birds.

I gotta say we may not have the warrior mentality we need, butI am not sure CCP would want to mess with the USN at this point even still. Lotta aces up the sleeve that is not even in public domain.
I gotta think if it floats it will sink quickly on both sides. Subs, subs and more subs..Jersey Mike buy 9 and get 10th free.

By definition, an hour spent on diversity training is an hour that CAN NOT be spent on fire training, so there, your „break“ is now delivered.

By that logic, every single bad event is is caused by diversity training.

Hang nail? Diversity training caused it!

I'm not. I just find the logic of OP to be absurd.

I dont know much about law and many topics, so am "willing to listen" to ones that do. We have several vets on here who have historical and anecdotal perspective on this topic(s). They certainly have more perspective than you are I, and not something to discount.

That diversity training caused a fire? Give me a break. No one here is saying that. No one would because it's an absurd contention.

Sorry, but looks to me like it is hurting morale. Come on now..

'Sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we'll survive a fight with the Chinese navy,' lamented one lieutenant currently on active duty.

'It's criminal. They think my only value is as a black woman. But you cut our ship open with a missile and we'll all bleed the same color,' she added.

Yep. '89 to '91 I was in Charleston. 657 boat, then to the 676 boat sometime in '91. I don't remember the exact dates, but I made the Med 2-92 run on Billfish (SSN 676). We left in early May of '92, and came back in November.

I did 7 years straight sea duty from 1985 to 1993. Math is 8, but it worked out to just over 7 years on afloat commands.

Went to the 657 in '85, the 676 in "91, and then to shore duty in Kings Bay in '93. That's how I ended up in Georgia.

There ;s a good chance I sent you an EAM during that period. :) Well... a chance anyway.

That's what I did. EC-130Q. My claim to fame is that I was the aircraft commander on the last flight of 24/7 airborne coverage. That mission suuuuuucked. 12 hours of hanging on the props at long range cruise. (sloooow airspeed) I probably should take @GreyWolf1129's cue and not say much more either.

TACAMO now means Take a Chair, Another Movie's On. They mainly sit alert now... or they did when I left 30 years ago...
