2021-12-29 12:28:07 Experimental Camouflage

The Virgina class battleship, USS New Jersey (BB-16), is seen above sometime in 1918. She is wearing a unique paint scheme known as MacKay disruptive low visibility pattern. This picture was taken while the Navy was testing the camouflage’s usefulness against range finders. Even one of New Jersey’s boats that is alongside her is camouflaged as well. According to Navsource, the battleship behind the New Jersey is more than likely the Rhode Island (BB-17).

2021-12-29 02:55:09 Battleship Flight Ops

This series of three photographs from 6 September 1941 demonstrates the routine recovery of two Vought OS2U-1 Kingfishers from USS Arizona (BB-39). The photos were all taken from onboard BB-39.
-
The first photo shows Kingfisher “1-O-1” from VO-1 taxiing alongside the battleship, preparing for recovery. The aircraft was being piloted by Lt. Commander Welton D. Rowley, Commanding Officer of VO-1. Lt. Cmdr. Rowley is attempting to taxi his OS2U onto the recovery mat being towed by Arizona. His backseater, Radioman 2nd Class E.L. Hugely, is seen preparing to go out on the wing in order to hook the aircraft up to the Arizona’s crane for recovery.

2021-12-29 02:55:04 USS Colorado (BB-45) and Thanks for 5000!
-
The Colorado is seen above during a Fleet Problem sometime in the mid 1930s. Her main battery is trained to starboard, suggesting that she is about to send eight, 16”/45 caliber projectiles toward a target.

2021-12-27 02:18:03 Genie in a Bottle Rocket

In this spectacular photo, an F-106A Delta Dart of the California Air National Guard’s 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, is seen firing an inert AIR-2 Genie rocket. The Genie was an unguided air to air rocket that was capable of carrying a 1.5kt W25 nuclear warhead. It was in service with the United States Air Force from 1957 until 1985 and was cleared for use on the F-89 Scorpion, F-101B Voodoo, F-106, and the F-104 Starfighter, although the F-104 never carried the rocket operationally. The Genie was intended to be used against enemy bomber formations, being able to wipe out the whole group with one rocket. Thankfully, the Air Force never had to use it in combat and it was only ever tested live once, during the Plumbbob John nuclear tests on 19 July 1957.
