Thanks. When was the last diesel sub decommissioned in the USN?

Hi Bgile:

Is it true that a sub tends to roll heavily due to the round hull?

Yes Robert, he was a supporter of the Navy and bought the first iron ships during his presidency.

Nilsson, thanks again for the data. I wish I knew German, that would add several books to my wishlist!!

Well, so that´s the answer, June 24th 1907 in Kiel. Does the book say who was the commander in that cruise? Are you Spanish speaker?

Thanks for your time.

Hi all: I discovered this book titled The Fleet Submarine Torpedo Data Computer (http://www.amazon.com/Fleet-Submarine-Torpedo-Data-Computer/dp/0974304530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219935130&sr=1-1). May be some of the technical buffs would enjoy it, I have already ordered my copy....

Hi all: Would the ship have included incursions into the Baltic and the Med on these round Atlantic cruises? Yes Robert, it was common at least to enter the Med, and visit Italy. Herr Nilsson: The phoho was taken in Kiel according to some sources, the article doesn´t say that the Kaiser came on boar...

I think that it is pretty sure that she is the ship: the stairs on the right were used to clear the high bulwarks (still are, as the ship is still extant a...

Hi Karl, it was his left arm.

Thanks for your answer Terje. The photograph was submitted to a local naval history forum. Originally it was captioned as the Argentine president visiting the training ship Sarmiento in Buenos Aires, but then someone said that the photo was taken in Kiel during a visit of the ship to Germany and tha...

Hi all:

Anyone can confirm if the person in this photo is the Kaiser?

Well, being leftist wouldn´t prevent you of defending your country, unless you were pro-russian too!!! For the sea-sickness don´t worry: I am a sea-sick sailboat man and can say that you would eventually get used to it.

to seek refuge in Montevideo (while he can go to Buenos Aires) His decision to enter Montevideo instead of Buenos Aires was correct. To access Buenos Aires he had to sail the channel that starts just in front of Montevideo. This channel is more than 100 miles long and there is no way that a ship so...

Well, he has an advantage: his toy doesn´t use space IN the home. Sure he received claims for lack of attention from his wife during construction...

I would prefer the tea clipper era, those ships were really beautiful.
