Grrrrreeeeeat info on Navy QM! ⚓
Thank you! Excellent video!
The good ole Dungaree Navy, that was my Navy! 1986-2007!
I’m actually going in In July as a QM so this helps a lot!!
That was a fantastic video! Thanks for taking my suggestion Keith and crew!
Thanks for the idea!
What if there are hostile targets waiting to strike and sink a vessel in the Suez Canal? or to damage the canal itself to prevent the passage of allied vessels?
I was a signal operating privat at german navy. I remerbered some actions, you were talking about (colors up and down) but some i don't, where i find them very interesting as life on a battleship seems to be much different then on our tiny auxiliary korvette. Thank you for the insight!
Excellent content, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for keeping her going, Keith! BTW, they were just starting to launch the GPS satellites at the time, so the reliablity issue was from not having enough of them overhead at times for a positive fix. Does anyone in today's Navy still do celestial navigation, or is it all big screens and game controllers?
Chief how fast was flank speed across the ocean ?
At sea what watch schedule did your division stand, how many sections (3 section, port & stbd or something else?) I ask because in my division underway and in port OTHER THAN Homeport we stood 8 hour watches, 3 section. Frankly I preferred the Midwatch (midnight to 8am) because no division officer and usually no Chiefs underfoot. OZ Division (Joint Intelligence Center) USS Nassau (LHA 4,) watch section supervisor.
Great question! At sea, we stood 4 hours on and 16 hours off. In a 24 hour period we had two watches to stand and we still worked during normal work hours correcting charts, housekeeping or anything else that needed to be done. Stay tuned for part two where more will be explained.
