I've just stumbled across some of my old navy pictures that I never put onto my computer.

USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887) and USCGC Ponchartrain (WHEC-70) being moved together to make way for a guided missile cruiser to tie up next to the tender. May 1970.

Thanks. What was your job on the OHIO´s?I think a better question was what wasn't my job? :haha: I came aboard an ordinary seaman and stood lookout, helmsman, and a few times as broadband sonar operator. After a while I decided I wanted to be a radioman and started working with our ESM equipment primarily and processing message traffic on occasion as well.

OK. Different system as the german navy does. I had to choose my job at the beginning of my military career. Than military basic school (3 month), basic sonar school (3 month), petty officer school (3 month) and at the end the submarine school (4 month - up to 8 month for mechanics and electrians petty officers). After that all, i was allowed to go onboard and see a submarine from inside.

There are a few exceptions like myself who get the opportunity to experience the different jobs first and then decide.

Looks very interesting. Nice misc between antik battleships and modern warships.

I´ve done my 3D homework and as a result you can take a look on "my" 206a sub-modell (http://www.mediafire.com/download/q8rhgi21nydxjz1/Drawings_206a.7z):
https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/8faa/4crtpakbrzhqv4s4g.jpg (http://www.mediafire.com/view/4crtpakbrzhqv4s/206a_drawings_02.jpeg)
I didn´t draw the main fan, hydraulik pumps and a lot of things near the main and diesel engines - just too long ago. But it gives a impression of an old sub.

USS ETHAN ALLEN SSBN 608: The USS Ethan Allen, (SSBN-608) operating in the Pacific as a unit of Joint Task Force 8 Operation Frigate-Bird," fired the only nuclear-armed POLARIS missile ever launched on 6 May 1962. A POLARIS A1 missile was launched from the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) while submerged in the Pacific, and its nuclear warhead was detonated over the South Pacific at the end of its programmed flight. The shot was made during the 1962 atomic tests and hit "right in the pickle barrel." The captain of the 608 was Paul Lacy, and ADM Levering Smith was aboard. To date, this is the only complete proof test of a U.S. strategic missile. With the ban on atmospheric testing, the chances of another similar test are remote. http://www.navy.mil/navydata/cno/n87/usw/issue_24/frigate_bird2.htm (http://www.navy.mil/navydata/cno/n87/usw/issue_24/frigate_bird2.htm) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/USSEthanAllenSSBN-608.jpg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/USSEthanAllenSSBN-608.jpg)

That ship (TCG Heybeliada (F-511) is one nice looking ship Jim. Hard to believe that is classified as a Corvette though. They had a whole fleet of Turkish Navy ships go around the Cape of Good Hope for the first time in 148 years.

Ships belong to the TMTG travelled 27 African countries for about 15,000 nautical miles approximately 30,000 km throughout their sail between the dates of March 17-June 27. Thank you Mr Tim McCarthy for your contributions and I might add one request. Do you have any close up pictures of the pilots in the ready room or briefing room before they take off?

All I have are old WWII movies ... thanks
