#Navy Reserve

[newyorkthegoldenage]

Midshipmen in the Naval Reserve, in training aboard the S.S. Illinois in NY Harbor, got an evening off to learn the Conga, December 17, 1940. Only problem was that there were about 300 middies and only 20 women.

It's like nearly 7 AM, and I should be asleep, but I wanted to do some art fighting and then play Luigi's Mansion 2 more.

I'm at the final mansion and there's a few things I can say for sure:

The hate is overhyped. I get the complaint of Gadd chiming in too damn much, but I appreciate being able to tell the idiot no whenever you are replaying a level and he tries. But yeah. Dude acts like you don't know what happened when you just saw it happen, and it gets annoying.

The game just affirms my belief I don't care for Gadd as a character. I get his callous behavior is supposed to be funny but a lot of what he says and does really makes me grumble at his character. XD

Being able to bonk boos around when you catch them cracks me up, but I also feel bad whenever they make the sounds they do. I'm sorry, babies!

Fuck the ice boss. Fuck the ice boss. Fuck the ice boss... I need therapy after that. I don't care I beat him my second try. He still sucks.

LM2 by far is weirdly darker in my opinion compared to the other LM titles. The fact the Toads tell you they were being chased by boos and then everything goes 'black' when they get turned into paintings is like harrowing?? Geebuz, even I could only get so dark with that. Also the boos watching as the other ghosts are basically experimented on (tortured??) and make sure it goes as planned Is... Upsetting. X"D Dang, Nintendo really went there. And uh, King Boo really redid the final mansion, huh? And he put... legit torture devices in there like the Iron Maiden or was that always in there? Gadd said it was remodeled recently and now I've got questions as that could mean beyond the exterior..

I still want a word with King Boo about how strong he is if a dang dog can get out of Gadd's device but he can't. ಠ╭╮ಠ

Honestly, I like it far more than I thought I would. I watched a lot of deep dives/ reviews on LM2 and not a single person I watched enjoyed it. So I was dreading I'd waste my money and not enjoy myself.

But it is far better than I expected. ♥ LM1 still has my number one spot, but LM2 is not by any means low on my list of faves. ♥

« Word would get around. I mean, in those days, had you heard the Blackbeard and Stede had opened up an inn, [you’d have] to check that one out. It’ll be like Planet Hollywood. »

😂

Regarding what Rhys said to our delusion of a happy ever after for Stede and Ed … SIR ! Don’t put ideas in scenarists’ heads (if they so much as think of killing them both, I will burn cities to the ground)

The incomplete HAWAII (CB-3) being moved to a berth, likely on her way to the scrapyard. Photographed on either May 20 or June 20, 1959. Likely the latter since the Navy Heritage and History Center has a better track record with dates.

Note: her 12 inch/50 caliber Mark 8 gun turrets have already been removed. They were removed in preparation for Hawaii would have become an Aircraft Carrier Task Force Command Ship, under SCB-83 and her hull designation changed to (CBC-1). Unlike the proposed ballistic and guided missile conversions, this conversion was budgeted in 1952.

Painting by Wayne Scarpaci

"This was as parallel to this program was a project to convert the unfinished Oregon City class heavy cruiser NORTHAMPTON (CLC-1) (later CC-1, ex-CA-125) to a National Emergency Command Post Afloat (NECPA). The NECPA program command ship (NORTHAMPTON) was where the US President and his Staff would direct US Military Forces during a nuclear conflict."

"Command and control of USN carrier forces during WWII was generally conducted from a standard vessel of the Task Force, with either a battleship or a carrier usually designated as flagship. But the presence of the force commander and his staff aboard was disruptive and resulted in overcrowded conditions, which impacted the combat effectiveness of the assigned ship. But with the superiority of the dedicated Amphibious Command Ship (AGC) concept for command and control of assault forces repeatedly demonstrated during WWII. Serious postwar consideration was given to the concept of a similar dedicated type of ship for Command and Control of Carrier Task Forces. In keeping with this concept in 1952 the USN developed the SCB-83 project to convert the HAWAII into a dedicated Carrier Task Force Command Cruiser (CBC-1). This design was strictly intended as a single mission ship featuring extensive flag facilities for command and control of carrier task forces, but no accommodations for amphibious or other types of operations.

The ship would have been armed with six 5 inch/54 caliber guns in single mounts, shipped three forward and three aft, with eight 3 inch/70 caliber guns in four enclosed twin mounts amidships. It would have fitted an AN/SPS2 radar atop a forward tower and an AN/SPS8A height finder on the aft superstructure. There was to be an SK-2 parabolic dish for tropospherical backscatter communications mounted atop short tower aft of the stack, forward of the AN/SPS8A. Two Mk37/directors with Mk25 fire control radars were provided on the superstructure fore and aft. The superstructure was built up amidships to accommodate the flag staff facilities and the single stack of the original CB design retained."

Work was halted after the turrets were removed and would continue after experience was gained from the conversion of NORTHAMPTON. However, it was discovered that it was easier and cheaper to convert USS WRIGHT (CVL-49) into the second Command ship without the loss of capability and HAWAII was sent back to the reserve fleet in Philadelphia Navy Yard.

The hull remained in the reserve fleet for 12 years before it was finally scrapped along with the incomplete hulls of KENTUCKY (BB-66) and ILLINOIS (BB-65).
