WestPac Deployments by
W. D. Allen
Recently during a discussion about WestPac carrier airgroup deployments the
question came up about how many carrier deployments occurred between the end
of WWII in 1945 and about 1965 when the VN War started. Any one know where
this kind of data might be available?

What is "Combat Power?" by
Paul Michael Brown
During the recent PBS documentary entitled "Carrier," one of the
shooters on the Nimitz described the sequence after a jet on the cat
takes tension, demonstrating the hand signals as well. When giving the
familiar run up command with two fingers at the end of an elbow bent 90
degrees he said...

What is a C-102 missile? by
Peter A. Stoll
Several news organizations have posted stories--apparently sourced to a
single AP report attributing the comment to an Israeli official--saying the
device that hit the Israeli ship off Lebanon was an Iranian-made C-102
missile, and that technical assistance was provided directly by Iranian...

What is Happening with T-34C's? by
ORVAL FAIRAIRN
I understand that the T-34C is now phased out of Naval service. I have
also heard rumors that the Navy, in their infinite wisdom, is going to
cut them all up, rather than sell them to willing civilian buyers.
Anybody out there know the truth?

What kind of pod is it? by
[email protected]
http://www.fencecheck.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1009.0;id=9987
A very nice photo, indeed, but could anyone point out what are the pods
attached to the outboard wing stations?
I would guess these are so-called "personal pods" used for ferry
flights, but as far as I remember they...

What type of missile is it? by
JLP
Look at this thing caught in flight.
Google Earth or Google Maps coordinates: 38º13'36.36"N, 112º17'56.59"W
It look like a cruise missile but the wings are much shorter
Any idea?

When were wings unfolded on carriers? by
[email protected]
I realize this is probably a large and complicated subject and varied
between aircraft and carriers, but just as a gross oversimplification
when would naval carrier aircraft typically fold up their wings and
unfold them?
Obviously, they would have to be unfolded before takeoff :) But

Where can I buy NAZI UFOs ??? by
Eliot Coweye
I've heard that the nazis had some pretty advanced technology back in
the 1940s and were able to build UFOs, but were too dumb to use this
technology.
I think they got help from extraterrestrials, because the typical
German is too dumb to invent anything useful above the Medieval
sword&socery...
