Hats off, of course, and a curious trivia question, is that the inspiration of the name Emma Peel as ace of spies and covert agents ? A fast comprobation and not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_...28Diana_Rigg.29 One time more, life imitates art far more than art imitates Life

Impressive the FB-22 seal at the end of the page

Very disturbing news, and one time more, I don't see those news in the mass media news.

Those are very high figures, but I don't see it reflexed in the media news. I think "good news are no news".

From spacedaily.com http://www.spacewar.com/reports/ATK_Awarde...S_Navy_999.html :

I remember a certain Saddam Hussein saying the same things, no a lot of time ago ...

Somebody knows something about the russian SOKS (earlier called Kolos) non-acoustic submarine detection device ? It's implementable in the papel rules or PC game ? I think it may be irrelevant, too, I see in World Naval Weapons Systems (Norman Friedman) : "The soviets experimented extensively with non-acoustic submarine detectors, apparently with no great success". Some mentions in: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/archive/i...hp?t-48279.html

I was reading erroneously the Google News of Philipinnes ..... http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-ma...oved-us-embassy

And all this bad and slow work to obtain an C-130 Hercules-like aircraft 50 years later .....

oohhhh, the old days of floor playing and adhesive tape to simulate smoke screens ......

A small web site, with some good data about SA-20 and other big toys, part in german: http://www.dtig.org/docs.asp I like very much the clear S-300 family tree.

Downloaded and reading the detailed "database" of 0106 Report on Technical Aspects of the Sinking of HMAS SYDNEY and HSK KORMORAN http://www.defence.gov.au/sydneyii/DSTO/DSTO.003.0001.pdf

I remember the weapon entry number 18598, AS-17 Krypton (Kh-31 AAM), theorically a anti-AWACS missile, a lot of time in the database ......

Very impressive digest

We remember, the first base is Tartus, in Syria. Now (13 January 2009), a port of call for CV Admiral Kuznetsov and DD Admiral Levchenko (Udaloy class): http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=109230

A very short and simple article about the matter and Israeli Navy, but with nice photos: http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=109211

Pre-Commissioned ??? 10 January 2009 (nice photos): http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=109216 Also: http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=109171 But I only see an usual octuple Mk 29 (ssb) mount in the first place photos and not VLS, and I guess the "24 missiles ESSM" is the total, with reloads, in each mount. And the launching of ESSM from Mk 29 mount from CVN 74: http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=40222 I've replaced an Mk 29 mount with ESSM in my personal database in the entry 2367 Theodore Roosevelt And the doubts about her "pre-commission": http://www.smartbrief.com/news/aia/storyDe...33-B731892E1489 http://hamptonroads.com/2008/12/carrier-ge...-pulled-norfolk Also, another topic about CVN 75, a very expensive machine gun carrier : http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=107692 And finally, I added ten 12,7 MG to my entry 2367 Theodore Roosevelt

Naked as Wingate (another little drop of military history): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orde_Wingate

I agree too, and little or none naval involvement in Gaza ...

Kirov class BCGN ?

But those aren't news neither a surprise for us, F-35 is publicly less stealthy than F-22 (I use those relations of "stealthyness" in my personal databases): http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htairfo/a...s/20051125.aspx

New job this year, after 5 years walking 10 minutes to work, now I'm a daily commuter, 73 Km./1 hour 15 min. up and down in a boring bus (Rented and payed by me and by some of my coworkers of my public administration !!), but this year we can use the new Netbooks, For trials, and as Xmas present from me to me, I purchased an Asus Eee PC 1000H (Warning, The "H" matters for obtain the full specifications, 10,2" screen, 1 Gb RAM, expandible to 2 Gb, 160 Gb. HD, Intel Atom 1,6 Ghz processor, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 of, I think, 256 Mb, and wireless IEEE 802.11n/draft-n), and, as temporary conclusions: - Cramped keyboard and screen, but usable. - Some problems with Microsoft Office, Word and Access, slowish and some files refuse to open, but .... - Harpoon HCE fully playable , at least for now .... Some others similar experiences ?
