You knew it was coming, I'm su Why would those otherwise qualified, future seagoing officers have to jump through the sailing ship hoops when they have no intention of using anything with a sail on it. After all, couldn't they just learn to sail if they needed to? ;-) Dave K8MN |

Even if the Air Force could train it's Airmen in the Wright Flyer, we wouldn't. The Navy probably makes all communicators learn Morse Code, too. |

The USS Constitution, homeported at Boston, is a commissioned US Navy ship (in fact the flagship of the US Navy) with a full active duty crew of sailors.. Not a museum (the museum is across the street from her berth). Been there, Hans. "Old Ironsides" is a museum piece. A fully operational museum piece that actually sails every few years, but a museum piece nonetheless. Her main functions are educational and historic, not military. The USCG Barque Eagle, homeported at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticutt, is a working training ship, used in training future seagoing officers. Does she go out on search and rescue? Or is her purpose mostly historic and educational? I'm glad those ships are kept in operation. But in reality they are working museum pieces. They're like the steam and first-generation diesel locomotives that a few Class 1 American railroads have kept on their rosters. Those old locos spend most of the time in storage, but are occasionally brought out and run for special purposes. They still work, meet all applicable requirements, and are technically on the active roster - but in reality they're museum pieces. And the main point remains: Sailboats make up far less than 1% of the US military fleet. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

wrote "Old Ironsides" is a museum piece. A fully operational museum piece that actually sails every few years, but a museum piece nonetheless. Her main functions are educational and historic, not military. Her "main function" is to serve as the Flagship of the Navy. That's a military function, not a "museum" function. Certainly she also serves as a "history lesson incarnate", but that is not her "main" function. If it were, she'd be property of the National Park Service, not the Department of Defense. And to answer the comment of Clown Prince of Spamalot (aka KB9RGZ), many US Navy ships are not intended to "sail into battle" (a quaint phrase, but it reveals your ignorance of military matters). YTB's tugs don't "sail into battle", DSRV's don't "sail into battle", AD's don't "sail into battle", AOE's don't "sail into battle", AS's don't "sail into battle", ATB's don't "sail into battle", ARS's don't "sail into battle", in fact CVA's don't "sail into battle", and no, the USS Constitution will not "sail into battle", but she's still a fully commissioned ship of the line in the US Navy. The USCG Barque Eagle, homeported at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticutt, is a working training ship, used in training future seagoing officers. Does she go out on search and rescue? Probably not, but I'm sure she teachs some of the elements of SAR. Navigation is a big part of her training mission, and you can bet that includes things like plotting an expanding-squares search pattern, calculating set and drift, and other topics useful in real world SAR operations. Regardless of that, not all USCG ships "go out on search and rescue". Some go out an tend bouys. Some go out and break ice. Some go out on training missions. Etc., etc., etc. Or is her purpose mostly historic and educational? Very little "historic" about the Eagle. Her purpose is a training ship for Coast Guard Midshipmen. That's just as much a "purpose" as SAR. And the main point remains: Sailboats make up far less than 1% of the US military fleet. Nobody is trying to argue that point, are they? By the same token, CVA's make up a tiny percent of the US military fleet also, as do ARS's, AOE's, DSRV's, LPH's, and a host of other types. Doesn't make their mission any less important, or relegate them to "nothing more than museum pieces". Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding, ding ding. Eight bells and all's well. de Hans, K0HB |
