Yup, that's what all those holes are for...I think that's A4's doing a FOD walkdown by himself too...
Speaking of OLD NAVY... Is that the Ranger? And what is that thing for? is it an early version of the net that they use nowadays to catch planes that can't trap?
Yeah, it is .... CV-4 was the hull number, I believe. I don't know what the heck that is on the forward part of the flight deck -- blown up it just looks like a bunch of crates, tied down .... ???
"He made it again. Seamen Schmuckatelle move those crates 10 feet closer to the takeoff point...."
Or .... could it just be screens .... like this pix taken in GITMO, different view, roughly the same time period ... ????

how about some sort of windspray deflector since the crews would have had to work on the deck while at sea, fueling and loading planes etc... maybe this deflected some of the stuff coming at them and then they lower to launch a/c
Hmmmmm ... don't know about that .... it could be, though. More study required. It's gotta be something really simple ... I love the "old Navy".how about some sort of windspray deflector since the crews would have had to work on the deck while at sea, fueling and loading planes etc... maybe this deflected some of the stuff coming at them and then they lower to launch a/c
Read the link in the first post ... especially about the cards and how you were suppose to distribute them. This stuff was still in vogue when I was entering the Navy--- but was fortunately on it's way out.
My wife attended dinner at Quarters One, Quantico with the Lieutenant General and recieved "Parade Rest", a book full of calling card procedures and proper table settings for different occasions. It seems from another world, but I've referenced more than once already in my one year "career".
A bit of a threadjack, but while we're on the topic of the Old Navy - I picked up a used copy of My Love Affair with the Navy by the late Capt. Allan R. Bosworth. I thought it'd be an autobiography... it sort of is. Mostly, it's just awesome old stories from a guy who enlisted in the 20s and eventually worked his way to a commission. Some stuff he did, other stories were just things he'd heard about, but it's fantastic - literally could not put it down. Definitely recommend it to all of you fine folks.
It is from another world and another "military" ... but it's fascinating. Simpler times, to be sure. While daydreaming ... I sometimes "wish" I could go back to that "time" ... at least for a while, until I need to reheat something in the microwave, at least.
The old Army-Navy Club in Manila was like that: prim, proper, white linen, cocktails & receptions on the veranda overlooking the pool and the clay tennis courts ... and about as close as any of us will ever get to what it might have been like in the '20's or '30's in the U.S. Navy ... truly kinder, gentler times.
