I was watching some videos of aircraft carrier cat shots of fighter jets today (don't ask), and was surprised to see in a slow-motion closeup shot that one of the underwing pods on an FA-18 had a propeller spinning on its nose. That seemed pretty strange to me, so I did some Google searching...

I've read a lot about Gato / Balao / Tensch class submarines, the ones America used in WWII, and I can't seem to sort out the specific consequences of a dead battery. A lot of you are diesel experts, so maybe someone here knows? Historical accounts are vague. Dead batteries are certainly a big...

Hello all, I am going to college this fall and I will be studying physics with a concentration on astrophysics, I am a pretty good student and afterwards I will serve 5 years in the Navy as an officer. My question is, will the 5 years I spend in the Navy hinder my chances of getting into top...

Here is a scenario to further explain. Let's say I am traveling inside of a submarine. I travel within a depth of 100 to 600 feet deep or 4 to 19 atmospheres. How would I and my submarine be affected if there were a hurricane, tsunami, or hurricane above the ocean. Furthermore, does the...

This could be chemistry, but I'll put it here. Research by the US Navy to make jet fuel from seawater. And it works. And all we thought they did was stare down the bad guys. http://www.nrl.navy.mil/media/news-releases/2012/fueling-the-fleet-navy-looks-to-the-seas

Hi everyone, I am about to go to basic training before going in as a Nuke. I was hoping if I could get some answers to a few questions I have. What is the life like in A school? How long is the school and how much time do you have for other things like working out? What are the major...

I'm suggesting to my nephew that he enlist and go for nuclear-qualified machinist mate position. I'd like to hear about post-Navy job opportunities in this field. Thanks.

I curious if anyone out there knows what structural design standards are used when mounting components onto small Naval and Marine (Zodiac) style watercraft. I can find all kinds of loads and vibration criteria for large ships like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 but all of them specify not to use...

Does anybody know anything about the Navy Nuclear Engineering program? Things like how competitive the program is? What kind of work would I do while in the Navy? and how do the skills learned in their program relate to work outside of the navy once done? Thanks,

Any of you fellow nerds in the armed forces? I am currently serving in the U.S. Navy as a Fire Controlman...currently a 2nd class petty officer (e-5). My job is HIGHLY technical, hence why I love the electronic and mechanical engineering forums here, since my job really involves both. My...

With only a bachelor's of science degree in physics, Is it possible to become a nuclear science technician with only a BS degree in physics?

I know no one but me cares, but whatever. This was funny though, I found it posted on foxsports.com's message board:

I'm thinking very hard about joining the RAN (that's the Australian Navy) as a Weapons Electrical Officer - the systems are pretty interesting, and I've got no problems with a military environment - in fact, doing stuff "in the field" is a huge attraction - but I'd love anecdotes / info from...

I just joined the Navy as a Nuclear Engineer. I was in college before majoring in Nanotechnology. I had failed calc III (lazy) and was feeling out of place. I had so many options in my face that I didn't feel like I could dedicate myself to something. I am fascinated in physics...

Dear All, Currently I'm working out a formula for Destroyers in the online game BattleGround Europe to be able to blast inland towns with their deck guns. To do this I've had to use the equations of motion. I could use some help on dechipering the final part of the clue. Points to note are...

I'm currently enlisted in the military and I have signed up for the Navy's nuclear school. I've heard that it has challenging coursework and the demands are high, which is why I was initially attracted to obtaining that job rating. Sometime down the road, I'm going to have to make a choice about...

Hello all - I was wondering if anyone knew of any GOOD colleges that offered all or at least part of a Bachelor's degree in Astrophysics via distance learning. I'll be transferring to a sea duty here, and could just wait to go straight to college, but I'd like to get at least something done...

The SimCity navy has a rigorous training program. In order to graduate from the naval academy, cadets must enter a pool and fight sharks. Today, a group of cadets was tested. Each cadet put on his mask, snorkel, and two flippers; and armed himself with a knife. Then the cadets jumped into the...
