This report discusses (1) the Pentagon's efforts to combine Army and Coast Guard missions in the Caribbean and (2) the Defense Department's use of funds in fiscal year 1992 for the operation and maintenance of sea-based aerostat ships for purposes not authorized by Congress. After comparing both the costs and operational effectiveness of the SBA and SASS ships, the Army concluded in the summer of 1992 that the SBA ships were a better value than the SASS ships and opted to retire the three SASS ships instead. http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/GOVPUBS/gao/gao46.htm      Cartoon Cruise Ships The Sailing ships, yachts and all that is connected with fleet and the sea in a stamps...

While there could be no doubt that such ships were being built, designed and operated in compliance with applicable IMO standards, the time had come for IMO to undertake a holistic consideration of safety issues pertaining to passenger ships, with particular emphasis on large cruise ships. The STCW Convention, as amended since 1995, includes specific training requirements for crew on passenger ships, such as training in crowd management, for use in emergency evacuation. http://www.imo.org/newsroom/mainframe.asp?topic_id=356   (946 words)      T-AKE Lewis and Clark / ADC(X) Auxiliary Dry Cargo Carrier Some combat logistics force ships (station ships) are integral parts of the CVBG and ARG’s and others (shuttle ships) move logistical supplies from ports, forward logistics sites, or commercial ships (black hulls) to the battle group at sea. These ships may be required to operate in concert with a T-AO class ship as a substitute station ship to provide direct logistics support to the ships within a battle group. These ships provide logistic lift from sources of supply such as ports or at sea from specially equipped merchant ships by consolidation, and would transfer this cargo (ammunition; food; limited quantities of fuel; repair parts; ship store items and expendable supplies and material) at sea to stations ships and other naval warfare forces. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/take.htm   (946 words)      Notes and Definitions.

When coastal shipping is measured in terms of the tonnage of shipping movements, Steam was already predominant over Sail in 1880 by a large margin, reflecting the ability of even steam ships of quite primitive capability by modern standards to out-perform a fleet of sailing ships of similar tonnage. Although the majority of locally registered ships up to World War I were sailing ships and their total tonnage remained significant into the 1900’s, the greater capacity of steam ships for frequent and regular passages saw Steam activity predominating over Sail in the coastal trades before 1880 even when judged by numbers of ships. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~j_lowe/C18NZTransition.htm   (4470 words)      USN Ship Naming Ships armed with 40 guns or more were of the "first class"; those carrying fewer than 40, but more than 20, guns were of the "second class." The name source for the second class was expanded to include the principal towns as well as rivers. Civilian-manned ships of the Military Sealift Command (MSC) are not commissioned ships; their status is "in service," rather than "in commission." They are, nonetheless, Navy ships in active national service, and the prefix "USNS" (United States Naval Ship) was adopted to identify them. Most of these mass-produced antisubmarine patrol and escort ships were named in honor of members of the naval service killed in action in World War II. http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq63-1.htm   (4470 words)      C class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The C-class were light cruisers of the Royal Navy, and were built in a number of sub-classes known as the Caroline (six ships), Cambrian (six ships), Centaur (two ships), Caledon (four ships), Ceres (five ships) and Carlisle (five ships) classes. During WWI, the class underwent a variety of alterations, including the removal of the 4-inch guns in Caroline, Carysfort and Comus, being replaced by two extra 6-inch guns, while Cleopatra, Conquest and Cordelia retained one or two of the 4-inch guns, with two 2-pounder guns being added to some of the ships.
