Look what parked at our "Chippie"

Hey,RichL and Jewels,
look what they parked next to our :chippie" Cheek of it
Actually Fleet week in the Bay and saw this strange looking Navy Seal boat moored alongside the "Chippie."
On a more careful look though , found a nice surprise inside
Seems those Seals hide all their best toys
cheers Dal

no no they are all there because the sbs are in town to teach them shame the furry seal is more use on a battle field

nice boat though, try selling trips on her your in the right place

USV? I take this to mean an unmanned surface vehicle; i.e. LimeyDal's remote control RIB from a few months ago?

Jeez; maybe I should look at who's posted what...

Gets sort of confusing with "naval speak" for us civilians
The first page on that wolf PAc website got me going
"Forces operating in a non-contiguous battlespace need a coherant strategy to "command & control" large numbers of dispersed assets"
Does that mean getting all your ducks lined up

Have to work on getting my UAV- USV-UUV's sorted

Easy:

"Forces" = guys
"operating" = fighting
"non-contiguous battle space" = not necessarily shoulder-to-shoulder
"coherent strategy" = good plan
"Command and Control" = intelligently move
"dispersed assets" = stuff scattered all over the place.

Unrelated note: I was looking for you on Sun, Sept 17; didn't see your boat, but I did see the USS Shoup (Arleigh Burke class destroyer) coming back into SD. I was on the Searcher, returning from a shark diving trip.
