The Minesweeper I served on in the Navy was a wooden ship. We were warned that if we ever had to take small arms fire, out on deck was safer than under cover also due to splinters. Then, if you were out on deck you were issued a Thompson to return fire. We didn't have much to threaten anyone with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Falcon 9 Boostback March 12, 2020 Short star trails appear in this single 84 second long exposure, taken on March 6 from a rotating planet. The remarkable scene also captures the flight of a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft over Cape Canaveral Air Force Station shortly after launch, on a resupply mission bound for the International Space Station.

railfancwb Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I found this as the base picture for a series of cat memes. Appears to be a genuine bronze cannon barrel with the touch hole sealed. But the carriage and its barrel mounting and the masonry wall leave a lot to the imagination. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
