Los Alamos: Radioiodine Event of March 2023
Note: Weird typo in the title and what happened here?

I can't tell you how many places I've seen (including the Nevada National Security Sites) out in the Nevada desert that look like this and worse, just left to decompose for 10,000 years. Sometimes I'd wear a personal dosimeter when hiking in parts unknown.




Sept 16, 1958: USS Grayback (SSG-574) became the first and only submarine to launch a SSM-N-9 Regulus II supersonic cruise missile. The Regulus missile II program was cancelled three months later due to cost as well as the development of the superior UGM-27 Polaris ballistic nuclear missile.



Grayback′s keel was laid down on 1 July 1954 by the Mare Island Naval Shipyard of Vallejo, California (where I went to school decades later). She was launched on 2 July 1957, sponsored by Mrs. John A. Moore, widow of the last commanding officer of the previous USS Grayback (SS-208), and commissioned at Mare Island on 7 March 1958. Grayback was initially designated as an attack submarine, but was converted in 1958 into a guided-missile submarine (SSG-574) armed with the Regulus nuclear cruise missile...borne from the German V-1 missile. In 1969, the Grayback was recommissioned as an amphibious transport submarine, USS Grayback (LPSS-574) and the two Regulus hanger bays were converted into diving bays for Navy SEALs operations.



It's Batman Day! The Navy once stated that if Batman had a warship, it would be the stealth destroyer USS Zumwalt. However, when the top-secret experimental Sea Shadow was finally unveiled in 1993, some observers thought it was a prop for a Batman film (or Darth Vader's yacht).



US Navy's newest ship sets sail with Captain James Kirk at the bridge...

The USS Zumwalt, named after Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, has embarked on its first open ocean trials after eight years of construction.

The $4bn Zumwalt is at the cutting edge of technology and will be the first of three in its class (originally there were going to be 32*). It looks like a cubist painting of a warship, or maybe the iPhone battery case of ships.

The joy of having Captain James A. Kirk (sorry, not a "T.") in charge has not been missed by the USN, with actor William Shatner even sending a signed photo of himself wishing the team god speed.

On August 1, 2023, Zumwalt got underway to her new homeport in Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi for a modernization period and receive technology upgrades.

There's always hope.
