Priory_of_Sion Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Naval Academy's football helmets are pretty cool. Each different helmet corresponds with a different position. Linebacker: Cruiser- Provides anti-air defense and packs the biggest punch of Naval surface ships representative of the linebackers on the Navy football team Defensive Back: Destroyer- Known for significant fire power, speed, and anti-missile defense as are Navy's defensive backs Wide Receiver: Submarine- Predominantly utilized as blockers, wide receivers play a key role in driving the Navy rush attack, taking on a stealth-like persona as they blend into the rhythm of the offense but bring significant fire power when called upon, just like a Naval submarine Lineman: Amphibious Assault Ships- Just as a lineman's job is the create a hole for a running back or linebacker, these ships are utilized to establish the "beach head" that enables the invading force to gain access and ultimately accomplish their objective Quarterback: Aircraft Carrier- The QB of the Naval Fleet, the aircraft carrier is the ultimate decision maker; the "quick strike" weapon of the Naval fleet Running Back: Littoral Combat Ship- Like running backs, these fast and nimble ships can navigate through both crowded shallow and deep waters Kicker/Special Teams: Minesweeper- Much like the specific task of the Navy special teams, this small ship has a unique mission of identifying and eliminating mines Eh, I guess these explanations work.

Belesarius Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Not a photo, but the Zumwalt finished first 7 days of sea trials. Only incident of note is the rescue of a medical casualty aboard a fishing boat. Not all that exciting, but not inauspicious start to her career. http://www.navytimes.com/story/military/tech/2015/12/14/stealthy-destroyer-back-at-bath-iron-works/77310000/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobotMinisterofTrueKorea Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 USS Minneapolis (CA-36) painted to resemble a DD-421 class vessel. Note large fake windows, false raised quarterdeck, and false raft attached to the side. Also worth noting: The New Orleans-class is easily one of the nicest looking heavy cruisers in history.
