#USS CALIFORNIA

[lonestarbattleship]

USS California (BB-44) on January 26, 1942. Salvage workers have removed her 14 inch guns to lighten the battleship in preparation to refloat and tow her to the drydock for repairs.

"USS California was struck by two torpedoes and one bomb. Near-miss damage resulted from a second bomb and minor damage was caused by a third. Minor fragmentation damage resulted from bombs at a distance. There was one fire aboard as a result of the bomb hit. About two hours after the start of the attack a surface oil fire completely enveloped the vessel. Finally, a vapor explosion occurred forward just prior to completion of salvage operations. The vessel sank slowly and did not approach the final position in the mud until late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning."

Okay, I'm probably over-thinking this, but there has always been something that bugged me about the design of ships like the USS Grissom and USS Cerritos: how do crew members get back and forth from the primary to secondary hulls? Is there a turboshaft that runs them past the engines? They're not using the transporters, 'cause that would be a huge waste of time and energy, right?

For all I know this has already been addressed on Star Trek: Lower Decks (which I need to sit down and watch soon), and my grumblings are moot.

(Sigh) I am over-thinking this.

F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #61

Disney’s Soarin’ Over California is a flying theater attraction that takes guests on a simulated hang-gliding tour of California. The near-five minute film highlights the diverse landscape and sights while filling the air with a variety of scents that complement the different scenes.

The ride flys guests over the USS John C. Stennis as it departs Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego. During filming, the aircraft carrier happened to be making a quick-turnaround and had not had time to offload all of the aircraft when it came into port. Aboard the flight deck of the USS Stennis sits several F-14 Tomcats.

#I discovered this becuase Disney World has been playing the California edition of the ride since September #we were on it and then I was like oh my god airplanes… OH MY GOD TOMCATS #FFFOTD #F-14 Fun Fact of the Day #F-14 Tomcat #Soarin’ Over California #Aviation #top gun #USS Stennis #fun fact

Transcription:

Page 1:

Exterior shot of the Cerritos, as if from the perspective of a spacewalker towards the back of one of its warp nacelles, looking up at the saucer section. Its two main impulse engines are visible and glowing red, but the one on the right (starboard) is dark in the middle third of its length. A ringed gas giant is visible in front of the Cerritos, quite far away, with both a regular multi-gapped debris disk and a larger, ghostly rainbow ring farther out. This gas giant has previously been visible out the window from the mess hall in previous scenes, albeit from a different angle. The gas giant and the Cerritos are lit from two directions, from the right by a golden light source and from the left by a white light source.

Guz: And that's when I ran to the tubes, and got lost.

Rutherford: Is Tendi okay!?

Guz: The photonic pulse charges weren't radioactive, if that's what you mean.

Page 2:

Close up exterior shot of the Cerritos, zoomed in on its impulse engines. We can see tiny Guz and Rutherford through windows on the dark terraced section of the Cerritos impulse engines, and we can see a row of six dark impulse engine nozzles and a row of six bright glowing impulse engine nozzles. Towards the right is a red dwarf star, shining like a bright golden-orange sun, with a few planets visible near it.

Guz: I really gunked up with her, didn't I?

Rutherford: I doubt it. The rocket launch was an accident, and she's usually pretty patient with outbursts and meltdowns... I mean, you know--Probably! Because she's a medic.

Page 3:

Seen from inside a Jeffries Tube with a full-wall-length pair of windows (the same we saw from the outside on the last page.). We're looking out on the Cerritos' engineering hull and warp nacelles, with the impulse engines to the right. A pair of dim white suns can be seen out the window as well. Inside the Jeffries Tube, Rutherford is looking out the window and Guz is looking at Rutherford with a serious expression. The light from the gold sun, white sun, and red sun shine over Guz's shiny surface on her head and hair.

Rutherford: Look at that! One of the six impulse clusters is dead!

Guz: Then it's worse than I thought. Come on. We're almost there.
