well, 10 possible terrorists were arrested at JFK, and Laguardia airports with knives and pilots licences... ... we are in this for the long haul!

Yeah, I saw that too. Its only the tip of the iceberg Diesel Freak.



My buddy in the Navy just got back from Japan and I am concerned for his safety. He just went back out today. We grew up hunting, fishing, and fighting and I love him like a brother. I'm sad to see all this going down. The thing I cant figure out is that he is a sub hunter. Why would they need a sub hunter? Precautionary I guess.

Sub Hunter? aka Sonar Tech on a sub? the best sub hunter is another sub. I wish him good hunting!

 

[Don M]

Actually aircraft and helicopters. Carrier based.

The U. S. A. has to pull out all stops. Submarines can launch strikes of many kinds and these turkeys have everything at their disposal thanks to liberlisam.

 

[Diesel Freak]

Yep... . some of the 688 class, and all of the Seawolf Class subs have VLS (vertical launch system) and can fire Tomahawks at anything.

Where did the information about JFK and Laguardia come from?





Thanks,

Last night on the news... CBS

It has been determined that this was not an attempt by terrorists.



I am glad to see that the FBI etc. are on the ball, but next time make sure that they are actually Terrorists and get them before they get to the airport

I am an ex subhunter (Aviation anti-submarine warfare operator). We don't just hunt subs, we can find surface vessels(and from a long ways away). I don't recall any terrorist organizations having access to any subs and if they did, they would be the very old and easily detectable types. Don M's friend will be protecting the fleet from incomming surface (komikaze terrorist) type attacks. The aircraft are capable of over the horizon targeting for the destroyers/cruisers via "Data Link. If he is in Helicopters (as I was) he is also a "wet" crewman. In other words a Rescue Swimmer. If one of our planes should be crippled during a mission, the pilot will try to fly back until he is "feet wet" at which time they will bail and the SAR Helo will come and the AW/SAR (aviation anti-submarine warfare operator/Search and Rescue) will be there. Our motto "So Others May Live". Our aircraft are also capable of carrying door guns, not just Torpedoes and sono-buoys. So we can offer a little support during a rescue in a hot zone. Of course, the boys that do the close-air support would be jealous so that work would go to them primarily. Don, I wish the best for your friend. He is looking forward to putting to use his extremely intense training I can assure you. I wish I were with him.
