In Today's News

Oh.

In today's news it is the fall equinox / first day of Fall and Summer is OVER! It is 42 degrees, the long range forecast has overnight lows above 50 on only two nights, with 38 in the forecast. (I just thought those of you living in AZ etc would be surprised by this news)

 

[Michael74]

Happy Friday everybody and welcome to another edition of today's news.

I don't trust contact lenses either.

Volunteering is nice.

Megabucks for eating pizza. My dream job.

Have a wonderful weekend too.

Placing nukes on it would be a mistake. That would place it in a high threat category to opposing nations. It would become a top priority must kill target much like the Bismark or the Yamato only multiplied greatly. Best leave the nuclear delivery option to more survivable launch platforms.

The Zumwalt is a ship in search of a mission. The twin 155mm guns on the front of the ship were supposed to fire precision guided shells to support land troops. The navy couldn't afford the shells, so the twin 155mms have become mostly a decoration. The new plan is to upgrade the Zumwalt to fire SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles to defend the fleet against enemy ships.

The navy originally planned to buy 32 Zumwalts, but could only afford 3. Its a stealth ship, so the nuke plan depends upon evading detection.

Yep. I read about the ultra-expensive ammo and the ultra-short life of the barrels ( ruined after firing just once ). I believe the ships would serve best as hunter-killers.

155? those are used by old guns, you sure its not bigger? the range of those isn't far.navy has used an 8 inch or 12 inch gun historically. arty, something this old cav guy knows about

By the way, it was cooler here today in Ohio but it was also nice since it was around the sixties.

 

[Michael74]

Welcome to another edition of today's news.

I'm with you on staying away from that snake. I don't like snakes.

Ellen DeGeneres seems like a nice person. A bit confused, but nice.

I don't like gnats or spiders. I hope they both stay away from here. Greece got their Halloween decoration early.

May the Lord bless you too.

 

[Michael74]

155? those are used by old guns, you sure its not bigger? the range of those isn't far.navy has used an 8 inch or 12 inch gun historically. arty, something this old cav guy knows about

They were designed for ground support, not penetrating the armor on ships. A precision guided shell to take out enemy forces, without zapping any nearby friendlies.

 

[Michael74]

Yep. I read about the ultra-expensive ammo and the ultra-short life of the barrels ( ruined after firing just once ). I believe the ships would serve best as hunter-killers.

There are only 3 of them. Maybe some specialized mission. Anti ship is the current plan. They need an upgrade for that. Their twin 155s don't do much of anything, and take up space.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Sorry guys, I've been really busy today. The news will be here in a little bit. :yes

Lots of civilians were zapped in WWII. The new goal is to further minimize civilian casualties. Precision 155 shells were supposed to be able to eliminate the enemy without risking civilians, or friendlies.

That's all for tonight's news! Have a wonderful night and stay tuned for more news to come! :yes

 

[Michael74]

Alright, welcome to another edition of tonight's news.

Phone companies should not put through calls from scammers. Nomorobo gets the job done, proving it can be done.

I guess you need to be careful where you take your pets for grooming.

I'm glad those people were rescued from the apartment.

You have a wonderful day too.

Lots of civilians were zapped in WWII. The new goal is to further minimize civilian casualties. Precision 155 shells were supposed to be able to eliminate the enemy without risking civilians, or friendlies.

By bombs from aircraft,not arty.

Artillery is accurate,unless you aim it deliberately at the wrong target.

My old mos,was to aim arty at tanks, bunkers etc.the 155 is a ww2 era Size.I mentioned artillery only as accurate because we'll it is.pulling a guided rocket launcher,capable of 83 miles to hit a target isn't practical nor feasible even if we had that piece.the costs prevent it.

We used 155 to reign hell on haji.my unit of station in a bad had these pieces. They could hit pakistan.

Don't confuse bombs, with missiles or arty.in ww2 we carpet bombed.

Besides,we have had this before nam ended and they are accurate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M712_Copperhead

Laser guided,no need for a new gun.laser aimed by the fst.so when they gun is told where to aim, they simply load ,and the laser Is pointed on the target.

Can always rely on the navy to fight with their awesome pieces. A bad is nowhere near the ocean .so we use air or arty,or mortar.

 

[Michael74]

Yes, you use what you can transport. Exotic stuff is for when it is available.

Artillery is accurate,unless you aim it deliberately at the wrong target.

Ship based guns are a different animal. Ships are moving. Ground based artillery isn't.

However, even the Army is planning to add exotic precision guided 155 shells to its current GPS and laser guided arsenal.

 

[Corn Pop]

Todays weather. Ok.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Welcome to another edition of today's news everybody. Today is a very exciting day because we've only got one more week to go until my spooktactular virtual Halloween party!! So now begins the daily countdown. :wootAnyways, we've got a brief report today so time to bounce right into it once again.

https://fox8.com/2018/09/24/international-pen-pals-finally-meet-after-53-years-of-letter-writing/

https://fox8.com/2018/09/23/allens-rbi-single-in-11th-leads-indians-past-red-sox-4-3/





That's all for today's news, and I know that most Mondays I post the usual Monday song, but I'm pretty excited about today so I decided that I'm going to post a pre-Halloween party song instead to get us in the mood. I just hope that none of the people reading this are purple or you're going to be in a whole heap of trouble!



And I'm going to tag JohnDB for this I decided because I think he's going to get a real kick out of this post even though to my knowledge he isn't purple.
