About how often did the Kitty Hawk have to tank up while at sea?

She must've been pretty thirsty.....

Have you ever watched "Monsters Within Me" on Animal Planet?   :p


BEG, as long as the fish was flash frozen, as most sushi has been, it's cool.                                                    I said it's cool. Hrem. Is the mike on in here?

Flash freezing kills the tiny anisakis nematodes.

Oh, and real wasabi also kills the parasites, if the fish should somehow not have been flash frozen. Sort of a second line of defense.

Oh, oh oh--just thought of another one. Maybe even worse than hominy.

Dinty Moore beef stew. I bought a can of it once and ate 4 spoonfuls before I dumped it. It's freaking dog food! Hell, I wouldn't even give it to a dog, it'd be animal cruelty.

It kind of depends....... when in port, they restock supplies. While at sea, they do what's called UNREP (Underway Replenishment) or VERTREP( Vertical Replenishment) where food is distributed from various supply ships to the other ships. The supply ships make more frequent ports of call than the other ships, normally. I was aboard a few supply ships as my job was to maintain the H-46 helicopter. All sorts of supplies (stores) are transferred from the supply ship to the other ships.

In this video is how they do VERTREP: (point of interest, the first 40 secs is from one of MY detachments.The very first detachment.  We had aircrafts 12 & 14 (no #13). I'm trying to track down where he got that part of the video. Also, I've done EVERY job on the flight deck, including being the signal person in the yellow helmet & float coat)

Here is the UNREP Portion:
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K-2NTsMFhA[/youtube]

Many times, unless it's just a small delivery, they are often combined. I can recall being alongside an aircraft carrier for some 8-10 hours. I always hated that. They even do submarines that way, at times.

Dear Thor,

Back in 1958-59 when dad retired after 22 years of service he was aboard the Vigal a YAGR part of the NORAD, I believe line.

Been along time ago but I remember that he came home with pictures of himself being piped off the boat sitting in a sling basket of some sort as he was transferred from one ship to another.

I remember the picture as that the look on his face in the photos showed that this was the only time in his life he showed fear of ANYTHING.

Of course -- plenty of wasabi, the condiment of the gods!!  Ever eat some when you have a head cold?  Clears you right out -- whoo!  :-)

She was decommissioned last year, she was the last conventionally-powered supercarrier in the fleet, and that info is still classified?

Wow.

Poor Eupher.  The thread was hijacked by the Sushi People.  I tried it a couple of times, and did not fall in love, and do not miss it. 

I was at a little dinner party once and the hostess served the "salad."  She called it vegetable foie gras.  It was mushed up peas, set in a tin mold, then layered with mushed up carrot, then layers repeated.  Unmold and slice.  It was revolting.  I could not get it down.  The party was too small to get away with being unnoticed.  Too bad, I just could not make it go down. 

Brussel sprouts are the same way.  Throat constricts, and won't release. 

BTW, NHSparky, if you pass by this thread again.....a live scallop?  Seriously?

The worst thing I have ever eaten was liver although I didn't technically eat it because I went to the restroom and spit it out.

Actually I love seared ahi tuna so I really have no room to warn anyone about getting parasites.
