explosion fully made up to US Navy regulations, with the reading lamp in it on at all times, in his memory. (2/2)
On the USS Iowa, the museum foundation keeps the berth of the man who was scapegoated (and later exonerated) for her 1989 turret (1/x)
Not quite; back when we still respected traditional naming schemes, the names of lost subs were reused.
This is the way I always heard it put.
"If it was fake, we'd have WAY better CGI." --also Elon
Actually, going by the typical rule of thumb, the 14" guns on the Nevada could penetrate about 13 feet of reinforced concrete at that range.
Of course, in combat, those hardwood inlays would be a nasty fire hazard. Not to mention the taxpayers not wanting to PAY for them...
Which is why it's currency.
The only ones I've ever had were ones where you were supposed to tuck the FRH into the entree box, so...
Meals Refusing to Exit
Both, most likely.

Couple interesting notes on this... first, during the 1980s recommissionings, they decided to keep the electromechanical computers (1/x)
Iowa decommissioned in 1990. Last battleship decommissioned in 1992. Last two were taken off reserve in 2009. 100% declassified now.
reduced efficiency (because the fire was burning colder than it should have been), so it was also about maximizing speed and range! (2/2)
Thick clouds of black smoke also meant there wasn't enough air getting to the fire, resulting in incomplete combustion and (1/2)
A few HUNDRED million dollars and five years, more like. It'd probably be more cost-effective to build a new one from scratch...
limit ascent G-loading to +4.5 maximum, though, to provide a crude equivalent of throttling to control acceleration. (3/3)
making a throttleable rocket engine is much harder than making an "on or off" one. Saturn V did shut down the center engine early to (2/3)

Try a reciprocating dinglearm to counteract that...
Two cosmonauts. Valentin Bondarenko, killed in a fire in a training accident before Gagarin's flight, and Vladimir Komarov, on Soyuz 1.
Test shots like this are generally done with a telemetry pack replacing the warhead; it radios back performance data for post-shot analysis.
For added fun, read this in Loki's voice.
Asking that question just shows you don't appreciate women's wrestling, just Kevin Dunn-style "Divas" stroke-fodder.
That would be a fat fennec, not a dog. And it makes a little yapping noise sort of like small dogs do.
Seems legit.
Well, I was trying for a similar feel in clothing. It's actually quite different from both cartoon and comics, but has a similar feel, so..
