Jack12477 Posted January 20, 2021 Share #127 Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) That is correct. Temps keep swinging from 20s F to mid 40s F (minus 6 C to +7 C). Not even suitable for ice skating.. But we still have Feb and Mar ahead of us. Surprisingly there have been a goodly number of ice rescues of pet dogs falling thru the thin ice on ponds and some lakes, and a few humans too, but a lot of pets needing rescue this winter.

cog Posted January 21, 2021 Share #133 Posted January 21, 2021 Probably because people tend to forget the dangers, or simply are forgetting danger lurks in every corner of a warship.

BANYAN Posted January 21, 2021 Share #136 Posted January 21, 2021 COG - not so much people forgetting, but info overload and therefore a quick indicator as to what 'state' the thing can be left in, or where not to step is needed. Not only do you need to be aware of the moving hazards of rotating turrets and machinery, but: the blast zone distances of all weapons, decoys etc, radio hazards ( working / normal distance, standard conditions and when refuelling, loading ammo), laser hazards, chemical hazard etc, trip hazards and so on-and on. Then you need to know what ventilation flaps, openings etc can be left open/closed in what state/condition the ship has been ordered to keep (different depending on the current situation - harbour, warning level, preparedness etc) - e.g. is it a condition A, B, Y, Z flap/opening, can this door hatch be left open or not in Action, Special Sea Duty, etc, or in what material state (how well/tightly the ship is closed down for various operational conditions). This is the RN marking system, the USN and other navies have variations and their own specific markings. Reminders are very useful and necessary, but some are probably more useful when it comes to an 'Accident Investigation' or a Court Case - something about protecting their Royal Highness' A%#@ cheers Pat popeye the sailor, el cid, lmagna and 7 others 10 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
