Navy cruiser dumps 5,000 gallons of slop
Discharging sewage was necessary for the welfare of Port Royal sailors, the
Navy says
The USS Port Royal had to dump 5,000 gallons of sewage while stuck on a
shoal a
half-mile south of Honolulu Airport “to protect the health and welfare” of
the crew,
said Navy officials, who are under fire for not reporting the spill.
The state Health Department says the Navy did not acknowledge the sewage
dump
until yesterday, after it was reported by the department’s Office of Hazard
Evaluation
and Emergency Response. The Navy confirmed the spill after receiving an
e-mailed
inquiry from the state Clean Water Branch.
A Navy spokesman said there was no intention to hide the Port Royal’s
actions,
but he said he could not give details because of an ongoing investigation
into the grounding.
The $1 billion warship was freed early Monday and is headed for dry dock.

Back in 1999 someone sent me these images of the USS New Jersey transiting the Panama Canal.
I have arranged them in a slideshow. You can select to view the images full screen.

I have added a Forum area to http://www.navalstrategy.org. I have not actually opened any Groups or Forums besides one to solicit the requests for the creation of specific forums.
Guests to the forums will only be allowed to read the content. Members will have the ability to of course add content and participate.
I will also be looking for anyone interested in being a moderator/admin on the forums if they prove to be popular.
If you have a specific Forum topic area that you would like to see created please let me know.

Well, the Mahan list has been moved to it’s new domain
http://www.navalstrategy.org.
The email address to send messages to is: mahan@navalstrategy.org
Emails sent to the Mahan ListServ are configured to populate the archive on the site and to be searchable!
Over the coming weeks I will be seeding the website with the archive of messages that were sent to the old list. It is a daunting task and while partially automated it will still take some time to accomplish.
At it’s peak the List would see +2,000 messages/year. We have not seen any kind of traffic like that these past few years since cracking down on the off-topic political posts.
The listserv messages from the years 1997 through 2008 will be held in individual archives by year. On a going forward basis new messages to the List will be archived by Month/Year.
Let’s see if the ability to search the archives and revisit past topics will rekindle some interest in discussing topics pertaining to Naval Strategy.
Additionally, I am looking at adding a Forum to the site. If you have ideas for content or if you would like to see about having another list hosted pertaining to some other aspect of NavalStrategy let me know and we’ll see if we can accommodate it.
