About (Hiroshima)-- I would not say everyone at least in the USA; most do not know who are presidents past of the USA !!

Hi, my name is Joel and I have been reading the group messages for some time now and enjoy them. I was a sonar technician (Submarines)in the US Navy sometime ago, very early (1970's). Now retired I am drawn back to playing with the "TRONS". It is easy to see there is a abundance of knowledge here. I look forward to being guided by the group on some projects.

Hi Joel. Welcome to the group from another bubble head. I was a SINS technician, navy center late 60’s early 70’s. Operated Rota Spain and Holy Lock Scotland. Interesting work, interesting times.

Interesting: Our paths may have crossed ... Home was the GCM Blue so we went the same places. I was in Roto when Franco died my last deployment.

Thanks for the welcome brother -- Joel

Just might have. I was 627 and 654 blue. Remember Franco and occasionally caught some marine or sailors drunk on the beach. A shot in the head was the punishment. I was in Scotland when there was a fire in the brig of the tender (forget which one, maybe the Canopus)and we lost a few sailors). We had to fire up the reactor and haul ass away from the danger just in case. Fastest I ever saw the nucs move. Maybe 67?

While in Rota, one if our bombers accidentally dropped a “big”!weapon and it made world news. Don’t know dates. Of course google has no info in either event but it was talked about everywhere.

Interesting times.

"Eric, I am not optimistic about our chances of not using nukes again.
There are groups in the world who would not hesitate to use a nuke if
they got their hands on one. I believe the USA would use nukes in
retaliation for an attack on America without really knowing who set
off the nuke that attacked America. Even an angry president could go
ahead and start something like this. Our world without nuclear war is
on a tenuous footing "

Actually, while we'd need a declaration of war by Congress before
launching a retaliatory strike, given that the Gulf of Tonkin
resolution is still in place, President <somebody somebody mumble>
could push the button on a retaliatory strike before the missile
entered US air space -- actually maybe even before the bits and pieces
of that missile landed in the Pacific or Arctic ocean after we
destroyed the missile with our anti-missile defense systems. We DO
have sophisticated enough space-based systems to monitor everybody
capable of using an ICBM against us or an ally, and enough globally
dispersed resources to kill a billion people in five minutes.

And DO NOT doubt the ability of President <somebody somebody mumble>
to sign an executive order providing for an instant-messaging-enabled
emergency meeting of Congress, provide a boilerplate declaration of
war with Speaker Ryan's pre-signed electronic signature on it, and
have a Constitutionally valid declaration of war in place before the
short-range Polaris missiles from the boomer submarines landed. It's
the Soviet "dead hand" machine, except via Facebook.

I hope we don't see anything like this in any of our lifetimes,
because enough nations still have (or recently have developed)
sufficient mutually assured destruction capabilities to slag the
planet. And we remember what happened to the last President who tried
to STOP a nuclear war.

We also remember what happened the last time a President invaded the
wrong country for an act of war committed on American soil.

PS -- Obligatory electronics tech content -- a few years back, I gave
my wife a gag gift to give to her MD boss who'd just installed a new
X-ray machine. It was a cold-war era radiation dosimeter pen, the
kind you looked through and when you couldn't see through it any more,
it meant that you'd been over-exposed to radiation. Freshly removed
from its 50-some year-old lead envelope. She carried it in her purse
for a couple of years, and ... now it's completely black inside. So
either background radiation got it, or else the doc's X-ray machine
got her.
