Well, Hans, it looks like we have different definitions of "museum
piece" and
"military function". I'll defer to your definitions because the USS
Constitution
is, in fact, the Flagship of the US Navy and is fully operational, with
a full time
crew. She just doesn't sail very often.

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 stilla
fully commissioned ship of the line in the US Navy.


Actually, I suppose that a considerable number of ships would
intentionally
sail *away* from battle, because they're not meant to be combat ships.

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, notall
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?


Len was. He seems to be unable to deal with analogies.

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.


Of course. But they're all "power boats", not "sailboats".

Doesn't make their mission any less
important, or relegate them to "nothing more than museum pieces".


Nor is the Constitution's mission unimportant - although some folks
don't value history very much...

Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding, ding ding. Eight bells and all's well.

Speaking of sailboats, there was at least one use of sail on a USN
submarine
- and it was in the 20th century.

In May of 1921, submarine R-14 was in the Pacific on a
search-and-rescue for
fleet tug Conestoga. Somehow the R-14 crew managed to run the boat out
of fuel.

So they sewed mattress covers and blankets together, and using the
torpedo
loading derrick, made a sail. After 5 days sailing, R-14 arrived in
Hilo, Hawaii.

Correction to earlier posting:

Some sources say the R-14 ran out of fuel; others say
she lost her powerplant and could not effect repair at sea.

Some sources say the periscope was used as the mast, others
refer to the torpedo loading crane.

In any event the sub made it to port under sail:

I wonder what her unit type code (UTC) is, and what her position is in
the time phased force deployment document (TPFDD). Which war plan is
she found in?

Sounds more like a yacht club for a service mired in tradition.

Don't be too hard on Jimmie, Hans, he learned all his "military
expertise" from books. [sometimes I think they were coloring books]

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

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.


Most civilians don't understand that every servicemember does NOT
"go into battle." Somehow they think that "battle" is like a
street gang fight between small groups. Problem is, "battle" can
catch up to everyone in the military service when no one is
expecting it. The USS Indianapolis' crew found that out late in
WW2 when it was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine. The
Army found that out during the Battle of the Bulge...where every
soldier, regardless of MOS, were suddenly IN "battle." Ever
since the U.S. Army has made it a point to continue basic battle
training long after soldiers have finished basic training.

Jimmie Noserve and Der Klunk both thought of Japan as "rear area"
in the 1950s...a place where all are "safe." However, the USSR
did have a combat reach into Japan and did have the special
weapon. The USA, USAF, and USN all knew that and tried to prepare
for it. Now, they might or might not have been Soviet "Bear"
bombers when I was in Japan...the exact type is irrelevant...but
they did have aircraft that could reach the Kanto Plain area of
Honshu (where Tokyo is located). Jimmie wanted to make a Big
Thing about USSR aircraft so that he could make message points
and show everyone how "good" and "expert" he is. Jimmie was
never in danger of anything but diaper rash in the 1950s.

Jimmie might have been in a moderate danger zone in the 1960s
when, first, IRBMs were being targeted on east coast positions
from Cuba, then later, from ICBMs that were targeted all over
the USA. Right now he is acting like an acting secretary
of the navy with his navel history. [no Oscars for him...]

The USCG Barque Eagle, homeported at the Coast Guard Academy
in Connecticutt, is a working training ship, used in training future
seagoing officers.

Well, if Jimmie Noserve said it, it must be............something.

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.


Follows the USN academy pattern in that, yes? I thought Annapolis
had their own "tall ship" for midshipman sailing training? Lots of
other nations' naval academies have those...most were present at
the "Parade of the Tall Ships" on TV here in 1976 during the U.S.
Bicentennial celebrations.

And the main point remains: Sailboats make up far
less than 1% of the US military fleet.

Sure there is - it's called wigwag.


No, those are called SEMAPHORE FLAGS.


No, they're not. Semaphore and wigwag are two different things.
Look it up.


Two dictionaries I have say "see 'semaphore'" under several
different definitions of "wigwag."

Can you wigwag in morse? [no such thing]

Can you wigwag from a wigwam? Or is your hairpiece already warm?

I've already worn the collar insignia of the United States Army
Signal Corps, a torch over two crossed signal flags. You've
never done that. You can never do that.


Except for a few floating museum pieces, the US Navy stopped using
sail power about 100 years ago.

Go to the docking area at the U.S. Naval Academy or the U.S. Coast
Guard Academy. Are those "tall ships" illusions? No, they are
real.

Nobody said they aren't real. They're floating museum pieces.


You've already argued with Hans Brakob on that. You wound up
all wet.



Why isn't it true, Len?


What isn't it true?



It's amateur radio, not "hobby" radio...


You don't engage in amateur radio as a HOBBY?!?

Did you think you were QUALIFIED as some kind of para-military
"service" with that amateur radio license?!?



I went to Art Center for a year at their old campus on
3rd Street in Los Angeles. :-)


Did you flunk out? Or perhaps you just GAVE UP?


I changed my studies from illustration to engineering. Career
choice change.

I can't "give up" something I have a natural talent for...that's
built-in, has been used in previous employment. I was accepted
by Art Center on the basis of submitted work that I sent them.

Tsk. You are being HOSTILE again, trying to say I "flunked out"
or "gave up."

"Pasadena forensics could practice on what was left of you after saying
that."

What did you mean by that sentence?


Maybe they want to be on TV? You know, like "CSI" (the first one
from Las Vegas), "CSI: Miami," and "CSI: New York"? :-)

All are popular shows about forensics and criminology. Then there's
"Bones" on the Fox network, the various "Law and Order" crime
dramas. Viewing audience likes that stuff.

Pasadena isn't far from the center of movie-TV production in
Los Angeles. Gosh, you could be on TV! :-)



Texts and old books seems to be where you get your "experience."


Well, you're wrong about that.


That MUST have been where you got all your "military expertise."



Oh, my, you'll have to tell all the illustrators everywhere that
their techniques are "dying!"


It's what you've told us about Morse Code, even though you're not
involved.


Sorry, I was VERY INVOLVED in illustration. I was VERY INVOLVED
in radio and electronics. Both for over a half century.

Where are all the commercial morse code communications sites now?

Where are all the military morse code communications sites now?

Once there was nothing else besides morse code in radio
communications. Now all there is of that is on amateur bands.

Tsk, you aren't "dying" but your time in Intensive Care Unit is
coming to a close...


I live in the past?!?

Yes.


No, I live in the house.

I have lived in motels and hotels.


"Pasadena forensics could practice on what was left of you after saying
that."

What did you mean by that?


You tell me... :-)



Can you show any physics textbooks or courses that include
electronic design or analysis?


Yes.


Tsk, tsk. I read Ben's biography entitled "Benjamin
Franklin - An American Life," by Walter Isaacson.


So?


It's a relatively recent biography, extensively researched,
takes an objective look at the life of Franklin. It does
not glorify him with gratuitous phrases but explains what
he did during his long lifetime...facts that were
referenced by historical documents.



Franklin the scientist determined the nature of
lightning.


Franklin was hardly schooled. He had only HONORARY
degrees.


So he founded a great University that thrives today.


Franklin was a prosperous printer and a POLITICIAN.
Money and power can do lots of things.

He also got current flow in the wrong direction...:-)



It's good stuff. Our country was born right here in
Philadelphia.


Been there.

However, the center of United States government is in
the District of Columbia, not even in Pennsylvania.



You mean UNIFORM Code of Military Justice? :-)


Yep - not "universal" as you mistakenly wrote.


I've worn the UNIFORM of the United States Army. I've been
under the UNIFORM Code of Military Justice for four years.
You've done nothing like that. You can never do anything
like that.


I knew full well what it "stood for."


No you didn't. You messed up.


Nope. Not once when serving in UNIFORM and being under the
UNIFORM Code of Military Justice. You can't say that. You
will never be able to say that.



I think you didn't really read and understand all the comments.


Doesn't bother me at all what you think of me now. I do
have all 3,800 filings in WT Docket 05-235 on both hard
disk and CD archives. As far as I'm concerned, there was
NO "vote for 'CW'" as Speroni put his "analysis" of
NPRM 05-143 commentary in WT Docket 05-235. The Commission
was notified on what I thought/analyzed in my Exhibit filing
of 25 Movember 2005 along with a final tally sheet of
the four categories of general comment opinions.



Yes, Len, we know you can't deal with facts and opinions different
from your own.


:-) You are really going the way of Dudly the Imposter.

I DEAL with them as they occur. Your problem is that YOU
don't like differing opinions. Boo-hoo on you.


Yes. You're obviously very jealous. Green with envy. Your
behavior shows it.

The Hawaiian Morseman?


There you go, acting all jealous and envious because someone
did a better analysis than you did.


"Better?" :-)

Ah! Jimmie the Miccolis Morseman loves and cherishes morse
code so anything anyone says against it is called "cowardly"
under YOUR fabrications.



You don't have any Petitions before the Commission, Len. You're
too afraid to write one and have it DENIED.


Tsk. You are teetering on the edge of sanity. :-)

Wait...where is the MICCOLIS Petition? We don't see it!

Could it be that Miccolis is "afraid?"


More important, you didn't follow the rules on Reply Comments
back in 1999.


"Rules?" The "rules" are given by the Commission, not by
a Miccolis or "the amateur community." :-)

Reply Comments are only supposed to be a
reply to comments made by others - they are not supposed to
bring up new suggestions.


Show us that "regulation" or "law," Jimmie.

If you wanted to suggest an age
requirement, the time to do that was during the Comment
period, not the Reply Comment period.


Show us that "regulation" or "law," Jimmie.

You're just as guilty
of procedural mistakes as the folks who send in comments
long after the deadline.


Show us the "procedural regulations/rules/law" applying
to filings' CONTENT, Jimmie.



You are simply hostile to anyone
who won't accept morse code wholeheartedly.


Wrong!


R I G H T ! ! ! :-)


and don't have any valid reasons
for doing so except for canned phrases that were conditioned
into your mind by the league.


That's simply not the case, Len. You're completely wrong on that.
Grow up and accept that yours is not the only way of looking at
things.


Tsk. I "grew up" in HF radio communications beginning in
early 1953. Three dozen high-power transmitters, message
traffic 220 thousand per month. Here's a link to that:

http://sujan.hallikainen.org/Broadca...s/My3Years.pdf

Never used, nor had to use any morse code modes on those three
dozen HF transmitters at any time.


Why ARE you so obsessed with putting down all who want the
code test eliminated?


Where have I done that?


In this newsgroup. "Google provides." :-)


You don't matter to me at all, Len.


Then why do you make all those "replies" to me? :-)


You will retain your full amateur rank-status-privileges
regardless of whether the code test goes away or stays.


It's not about those things at all, Len.


No? Then why are you so worried and agitated by it?

Code testing doesn't involve you at all.

It's about what's good and bad for the Amateur Radio Service.


Well there we have it! The Lord High Commissioner of
Goodness has RULED on what is "good" and what is "bad!"

I see the code test as being a good thing for the Amateur Radio service.


Sorry, NOT strong enough. As self-appointed Lord High
whatever, you MUST state firmly and resolutely ALL that
everyone MUST do!

Not to worry. There will always be some morseperson around
to play with you in your morse playground.


Can you be sure?


Can you? :-)

If I had evidence that you operated an amateur radio station
illegally, I would report it to FCC. Enforcement is their job,
not mine.


Oh, my...do you carry a "shield" that states you are an
"official" radio person "authorized by the federal
government" or something like that?


Don't need any such thing.


Yes, we know, you HAVE THE POWER! :-)

[hey, Brian, here's another one of those idiots ready to "dial"...]



You are neither qualified nor authorized to operate an amateur radio
station,
Len.


How do you know? :-)


FCC says you're not qualified to operate an amateur radio station.

The FCC has "said" no such thing to me.

Yes, they have.


In a real document addressed to ME? :-)

Maybe in a telephone call? :-)


In the regulations.


My name isn't mentioned once in the five-volume bound set of Title
47 C.F.R. Not in any Part therein.

The ONLY place where my name appeared was on the Government Post
Office shippling label that sent me those five volumes.

Show us WHERE my name, with appropriate statement of
"unqualifications" appears in Title 47 C.F.R.

Wow! Several months ago I was looking at the Burbank HRO store
station, even tweaked a transceiver dial to tune in a SSB signal
clearer! Hey, get the surveilance camera tapes! You might find
me on them doing that! Wowee! You can make an ARREST!


That's not "operating".


Define OPERATING. :-)


I have served in the military of the United States. Volunteering
during a war time. Taking an oath to defend the United States
and its Constitution with my life if needs be.


That's a brave act, Len. But it was more than a half-century ago.


Tsk. It's something you've NEVER done, Jimmie.

I decided it was time to serve my country and volunteered to do
so during a war time. You've done NOTHING like that at any time.


Not me, Len.


We KNOW that, Jimmie. You've NEVER done that.

I said you were afraid - and you are.


"Afraid of what?" :-)

People are afraid of all sorts of things.


You must have been AFRAID to risk your precious body in real
military service since you didn't volunteer. shrug

You were afraid to let your neighbors build two-story houses....


W R O N G .

NOT "afraid." MY neighbors did not want the development
started that would cut off our view...so much so that we
all formed an action committee and we presented our case to
the zoning commission in a regular meeting. That VACANT land
(about 15 acres) was then UNdeveloped. The contractor won a
change of zoning from only Residential to Residential-with-
apartments...the existing neighbors lost that fight.

The contractor went bankrupt, couldn't develop the land, sold
the land to another contractor. THAT contractor built 44 homes
(average price $500,000 five years ago) after spending 9 months
of re-arranging the vacant land. Our (original 'neighbors')
views' were spoiled by those new homes.

My neighborhood was NOT "afraid." We took ACTION. That is
recorded in the minutes of the City Zoning Commission's
meetings. Okay, we neighbors tried and lost. That's the
breaks in politics.

What you've done is to RE-WRITE what was originally written in
here with some weird spin on "courage" and "fear" that YOU
invented, fabricated, LIED about. That shows the kind of
hostility you exhibit in here. ["Google provides"]


But you sure don't display any courage or bravery here....


How so, Lord High Whatever?

Is it something about "not following YOUR orders/commands?!?"

Fork you, yer Lordship...you don't get to GIVE orders in here.

You are NOT QUALIFIED to give orders, you are NOT AUTHORIZED
to give orders. You aren't even QUALIFIED to be a barracks
lawyer, yet you pretend to be one with your "rules" on
comment content!

The USS Constitution, homeported at Boston, is a commissioned US Navy ship (in

a museum (the museum is across the street from her berth).


Been there, Hans.


There we have it! Presence of his Body makes Him "official." :-)

"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.


Morse code testing for an amateur radio license is then also a
"museum piece" of no educational or historic (nor military)
need.

There are many morse code museums around the USA to display the
"educational and historic needs" for morse code...no federal
license testing is needed to keep up those museums.

If morse code is so damn good as a communications mode, then it
will survive quite well on its own WITHOUT federal license
testing requirements. Strange that all other radio services
of the USA quit using morse code for communications...


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?


Is morse code part of search and rescue?

Can you shed some light on that or are you blinking in puzzlement?

[a clue a la "Jeopardy"]

Or is her purpose mostly historic and educational?

I'm glad those ships are kept in operation.


Why? You are NOT in the USN or USCG, have never served in uniform.

You are NOT INVOLVED.

But in reality they are working museum pieces.


Tsk, tsk. Jimmie should go on a "cruise" (or "float", whatever)
with the midshipmen of either academy and see for himself. :-)


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.


Those old choo-choos are in the military? Do prospective Army
Corps of Engineers cadets from West Point, NY, go on railroad
"cruises" also? I think not. :-)

Do those old choo-choos use morse code for communications?


And the main point remains: Sailboats make up far less than 1% of the
US military fleet.


Was that the "main point?" :-)

Bad on me...I thought that AMATEUR RADIO LICENSING was the "main
point" in this thread. Must be "wrong." :-)

Well, we've all Heard the Word from the Master Mariner of the navel
academy. Up-anchor and sail away into the susnet, beeping all
the way... :-)
