I do not know the various cooking methods used during the 17th century. I love pumpkin pie too. I do not like pumpkin spice lattes. I think of baseball and pumpkin pie because of the month of October. The World Series is played in October and pumpkins and other gords are ready for harvest in/around October. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Back to the main topic as Mr.(?) H46Driver requested. It is too bad the incompetence of the U.S. Navy has reduced the capabilities of the USS Zumwalt. Cost overruns have resulted in the volume search radar being removed and the 57mm guns being replaced with 30mm guns.

Your lack of critical thinking ability makes me sad. THe possibilities are endless. The possibilities are endless, if you are ignorant of ship operations. Where does the ship discharge sewage? It is illegal to discharge in port. Is the disaster-stricken area going to provide sewage services? What about clean water for the ship? It is inadvisable to for the ship's water generation systems to make water in port. Is the disaster-stricken area going to provide clean water for the ship's crew? How about security requirements as the ship is close to many desperate people? How many lights for tent cities run on Zumwalt's 4,160 volt power? If there was a disaster is there even a clear channel for the ship to navigate in? Lack of criticial thinking ability is an epidemic on this site. What if doesn't get shit done in the real world and that seems to be all you can do. Don't feed the trolls. |

Nick, I see you are changing our discussion, again. Run into a brick wall, did you? Keep plugging. I'm sure you will yet best me. The great thing about larger bores is you can use sabots to make smaller and higher velocity projectiles as is done with the 120mm Rhienmetal smoothbore that equips the M1 Abrams tank. Would you prefer to be armed with .45 Automatic Colt Pistol or 5.7x28? Personally, I prefer a good .45 automatic by my side. Of course, 9mm is cheaper for shooting plates! As for your, "way things are progressing." This is false. Infantry Fighting Vehicles are mounting larger guns than they did 30 years ago. Artillery has averaged out to around 155mm, but weight, size, and ammunition storage are onsiderations, as I have discussed earlier. There is little to no movement back to 105mm or to 75mm pack howitzers. Likewise, tank guns are holding at the 120mm-130mm range for those reasons I mentioned. Naval guns appear to be in the 105mm to 130mm range with space and weight being a primary factor. Just look at USS Zumwalt and how big it is to accommodate 155mm guns! Smaller guns are used, again, when weight, size, and ammunition storage are considerations. |

Voltage would be one issue, synchronizing it would be the other. That with gas turbine prime mover would not be impossible but would also not be organic. Its referred to as "Dark Start". There is no power to sync to, since the grid is dead. Shipboard power is used to restart a local power plant and then the local grid is brought up, and the ship disconnects. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Not changing-serious consideration. When's the last time you saw any tank or IFV mounting a 152? When's the last time you saw any infantry using anything in 7.62? If you think that was changing the discussion, perhaps you need to pay closer attention. Nick In those instances, Mr.(?)Nick, space, weight, and ammunition storage are considerations. You are trying to hard, Mr.(?) Nick. |

Are you saying USS Iwo Jima broke federal laws by dumping sewage in the water? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
One problem with your line of "logic", reality. When I was on the Iwo Jima in New Orleans for the relief efforts, we were moored downtown. Place was a mess. We did everything you say should not or cannot be done. Are you saying USS Iwo Jima broke federal laws by dumping sewage in the water? What makes you think we dumped sewage in the water? And yes, we did provide shore power. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Back to the main topic as Mr.(?) H46Driver requested. It is too bad the incompetence of the U.S. Navy has reduced the capabilities of the USS Zumwalt. Cost overruns have resulted in the volume search radar being removed and the 57mm guns being replaced with 30mm guns. http://news.usni.org/2014/08/05/navy-swaps-anti-swarm-boat-guns-ddg-1000s http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/the-us-navys-dual-band-radars-05393/ Switch to 30mm is a win in my book. Direct fire is better for the intended target set. |

Your statement, therefore, indicates you did. You provided power to the shore? Doubtful. How was this accomplished? Portable generators powering small areas? That I could see. Ship's generators powering the city's grid, let us just say this is not 1947 anymore. |

There is no migration to 155 in the US or world wide; 105mm and 122mm are probably closer to a universal caliber than 152-155

Don't think anyone said to power the grid. That has been the entire point of the last four pages of discussion. The first response in this thread was: "I wonder if they will be able to provide shore power in an emergency? That would come in handy for natural disasters." Considering the title of this thread is "Navy Lights Off Zumwalt Generators" "they" can only mean the shipboard generators of the USS Zumwalt. Do try to keep up. |

You can run temporary power.
