*HE* was sopposed to answer them! Not you!

I'll wait for him to answer these before I throw in my answers...

Though isn't number 4 & 5 abit *TOO* easy?

To add to them.

4.Name the Shipyards they were built in, and date of commissioning and decomissioning.
Extra Bonus: Name their First Captains, and any major campaigns engaged in.

5.Name the Hull number as well.

Oh in addition to HELLFIRE's answer to number 3, Russian pilots also call it "Baaz", the Russian word for "Eagle".

Well, you and I could go around compiling otaku-type
questions for The Armory....

For #4, FYI, I was considering 'name all ships that bore the name
Enterprise in the BOTH the USN and RN' Have some fun with THAT one....

HERE'S some simple questions to try:
-----
1) Identify the bomb designated the GBU-3

2) Name the first plane with FBW-controls

3) What microprocessor powers the JDAM?

4) Name the hull numbers of the two ships in the USN that bore the
name 'Enterprise' in the 20th century. Bonus: name the lead-ship-of-
class these two Enterprises belonged to.

5) Only one USN battleship never bore the name of a state. Which ship
was it?

Oh yeah, official signatories to The Armory must recite the Armory Motto
each time they enter The Armory, and report to the Dictator for official
uniform gear...

//insert Jinnai psychotic laugh here

. vehicles/ships/aircraft are not my forte. i'll take a shot at it anyway.

1. CBU-74/B
2. the F-16?

3. no idea. an Intel, maybe?
4. digging thru some of my ww2 mags, all i can find is CV-6 and CVN-65. i'll take a shot at the lead ship of class... USS Nimitz.
5. USS Kearsage

/me returns to watching FMP.

4. CV-6 commissioned on 12 May 1938, decommed on 17 Feb 1947. Shipyard Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. First cap was Captain Newton White Jr. I dunno about major campaigns, but my old ww2 mags said it was one of the most active ships back then.

CVN-65 commissioned on 24 Sept 1960, still in active service. Shipyard Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. First cap was Captain Vincent P. DePoix. Major campaigns? no idea...

5. BB-5

well i'm not a military otaku. i've just got a passing fancy for ground combat armament.

p.s. was the Katyusha a Russian mobile rocket launcher platform during WW2? or is my memory screwed up from anime?

FYI, Enterprise CV-6 accumulated 18 out of 22 Battle Stars in the
Pacific War; don't know which ship even comes close to that number!
Enterprise CVN-65 pretty much has been just as active, though I'm
too lazy to check up on that right now *hehe*

Yup, just be careful if Katyusha decides to fire a salvo at ya...

Deckard · Post by **Deckard** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 8:55 am

wellllll... but weren't rockets ineffective back then except as area weapons? i heard they had to line up a whole bunch of them and then synchonize their fire.

nevertheless, DON'T SHOOT! /ducks

HELLFIRE · Post by **HELLFIRE** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 9:15 am

Still, ya gotta think about the satisfaction of 'pulling the firing cord'
on that setup and watching the results. MEGA-Boom!!! *LOL*

Deckard · Post by **Deckard** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 9:24 am

yup... `Stalin's Organ', they called it.

but the Kayusha's also the name of a series of missiles (Russian design)used today, mostly in the Middle East.

HELLFIRE · Post by **HELLFIRE** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 9:27 am

Oh, current? Point out a link if you got one...

Katyusha should have all the correct info.
