cuz engineering blows, obviously.

10/13/2008 10:40:09 PM

i don't know why i didn't switch.

10/13/2008 10:40:57 PM

By the by, I wasn't saying that the Navy wasn't a real branch, but that the Coast Guard was not a real branch.

How's this semester going?

10/13/2008 10:41:03 PM

10/18/2008 6:56:47 PM

Wobbly, but still coherent.

because engbob just sounds silly

10/20/2008 1:08:27 PM

no

then i would have gone with

nukebob, mechbob, chemebob, civibob, industribob, electribob, or compbob, depending on my discipline.



engbob would be if i went for an english major.

10/23/2008 10:31:18 PM

Can I call you Bobby Boy?

10/23/2008 10:31:41 PM

is it still an alias if you openly discuss it?

10/23/2008 10:31:42 PM

10/23/2008 10:32:30 PM

Do the ideas of Mahan still directly affect American naval strategy in an increasingly globalized world?

11/3/2008 10:26:45 PM

Yes, we are still a blue-water Navy focused on power projection in the Mahanian sense.

But because of the nature of the GWOT, we are having to shift towards long forgotten green and brown-water naval capabilities.

11/3/2008 10:30:03 PM

Speaking of the GWOT, how has the USS Cole bombing affected tactical planning in foreign ports?

11/3/2008 10:36:04 PM

You betcha; we're definitely a lot more careful where we go, and how we secure the ship and all.

11/3/2008 10:38:39 PM

While carriers are used for force projection, how would you characterize the role of ballistic missile submarines in strategic posturing?

11/4/2008 7:30:02 PM

not in the Navy but I see ballistic missile subs as a significant deterrent for a host of unsavory activities given their stealth and firepower.

11/4/2008 7:36:33 PM

yes, missile submarines are stealthiest and strongest member of the nuclear triad (missile subs, ICBMs, and nuclear-equipped bombers), and therefore our best nuclear deterrent.

11/8/2008 2:10:21 PM

Are ICBMs under the air force?

I had a long drunken conversation about the triad with a submariner on MARTA years ago.

[Edited on November 8, 2008 at 6:18 PM. Reason : care to have some drunken conversation tonight, man?]

11/8/2008 6:17:52 PM

I'm enjoying this discussion. Please continue.

I'll also say that I, too, have read Tom Clancy. But that's probably of no help.

THIS THREAD ISN'T JUST FOR NAVY RELATED QUESTIONS

Do you think that really happened, or that it was trick by the senior officers to get the crew to abandon ship so that they could defect and give the sub to Jack Ryan?

11/9/2008 3:08:17 PM

Some things in here don't react well to bullets, Jack.

11/9/2008 3:09:32 PM

Yeah, like me. I don't react well to bullets.

Opinions on Waterworld? Obviously it featured a scene with an improperly deployed spinnaker.
