“Low-background metals are valuable because they carry particularly low levels of radiation. Used as shielding in advanced particle physics projects and medical science devices like X-ray chambers, these metals won’t interfere with specialized, highly radiation-sensitive tools.”
2/“Most steel is made by blowing air or pure O2 into molten pig iron to remove impurities & make it stronger. Since start of atmospheric nuclear tests, all air-even purified O2, contains elevated levels of isotopes like cobalt-60,most new steel is infused w/radioactive particles.

Lets list in my opinion the worst decisions taken or nearly taken by largest navies around the world. #εpsilon
The #USNavy #Zumwaltclass destroyers were supposed to have #AGS capable of firing ultra long range 155mm shells, have no shells as they were canceled. Now, to re-add the X-factor the #USN is replacing AGS guns with VLS for upto 12 hypersonic missiles. Costing a lot of $$$$$$$$$s

As Richard Poe says, 'George Washington referred to the original 13 states as an empire... New YORK is called the empire state'
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_St…
George Washington in a 1785 letter to James Duane, NYC Mayor, called New York "the Seat of the Empire". Washington is said to have used the phrase"Pathway to Empire"when referring to the state in conversation w/ George Clinton, the NY Governor in the 1790s

1. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an investigation showing that the attacks on the #NordStream pipelines were initiated by the US government with the support of Norway. The #US government and the #CIA have denied his account at Hersh's request.
2. Q1. Mr. Hersh, please explain your findings in detail. According to your source, what exactly happened, who was involved in the #NordStream attack and what were the motives?
Seymour Hersch: - It was a story that cried out to be told. At the end of September 2022,

The Swedish silent service is on quite a visible PR-campaign in Finnish media. First we had a surprisingly long article dealing with a well-publicised exercise from last spring when the Swedish submarine #HMSUppland visited the waters around #Hanko. iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/2…
Some nice pictures from the event. The Finnish #Navy is getting more serious about hunting submarines following the #Hamina-class MLU, and getting a suitable 'target' to train on is key.
Then we got articles in both Swedish and Finnish from a visit by Finnish media to the yard currently building leadship #HMSBlekinge of the #A26-class. No denying @SaabFi likely has other thoughts than just showing off their shipyard in arranging this 😉 svenska.yle.fi/a/7-10027816

Does the following United States ship design look familiar?
It should because it's HMS Hood!
Hood had a profound impact on the United States Navy. In many ways, the arrival of Hood served as the catalyst for the eventual break away from the Standard Battleship doctrine.
It should because it's HMS Hood!
Hood had a profound impact on the United States Navy. In many ways, the arrival of Hood served as the catalyst for the eventual break away from the Standard Battleship doctrine.
The US Navy saw that the combination of firepower, armor, and speed would set the groundwork for new "Fast Battleships" (Or "Battleship-cruisers" as they were known in the US at the time). This would provide greater flexibility over the current generation of 21 knot battleships.
This spurred a flurry of activity among designers in the US Navy. New designs such as faster battleships, traditional battlecruisers, and hybrid battleship-cruisers were created. The pros and cons of each vessel were then vigorously weighed among senior naval officials.

2/ Yamato, her sisters Musashi and Shinano (completed* as an aircraft carrier) were WWII's three mightiest vessels. Yamato's main armament was 9 x 18.1"/45 guns. 45 calibers = 67' 10" long! Here is a stern view focused on Yamato's #3 turret on Sept. 20, 1941 during construction.
3/ Yamato's secondary armament was 4 x triple 15.5 cm (6.1")/60 guns arranged in a diamond formation: front, back and one per side. They were removed from Japan's Mogami-class↘ naval-encyclopedia.com/ww2/japan/moga… light cruisers when the Mogamis were upgraded to new twin 8" gun turrets.

The USNI speculates that the craft was propelled by water jets capable of speeds of up to 110 km/h. And the power plant was probably a Rotax gasoline engine.
The #detonators in the nose of the drone are similar to those used in the #Soviet FAB-500 aerial bomb.

The USNI compares the device to other examples of the use of maritime kamikaze drones. The essential difference is that until now various types of boats or motor boats were the basis of such weapons. The dimensions of such drones made it easier to detect them. On the other hand

US #Navy's latest #unmanned surface vessel MARINER OUSV4 was christened today 23 Aug. at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis MD. Vessel is very similar to the earlier USV RANGER and is derived from a commercial fast crew/supply boat aluminum design from Gulf Craft, Franklin LA...
At 194-feet long, beam of 32' and full-load displacement of 673 metric tons ship is considered a #MUSV Medium USV. Delivered in March with 3 instead of 2 diesel generators but the standard 5 propulsion diesels, ship has 3 bow thrusters and stern waterjets. Autonomous systems...
