	Receiving ship - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A receiving ship is a ship that is used in harbor to house newly recruited sailors before they are assigned to a crew.
		The receiving ship was part of the solution; it was difficult to get off the ship without being detected, and in any case most sailors before the mid-19th century did not know how to swim.
		Receiving ships were typically older vessels that could still be kept afloat, but were obsolete or no longer seaworthy.

	Underway replenishment (UNREP) - Navy Ships
		The receiver is mounted on the receiving ship by a swivel arm.
		The other ship(s) are referred to as "approach" ship(s), and their job is to come to station alongside the guide and maintain that station throughout the replenishment.
		The goal of the approach ship is to come alongside the guide, with sending and receiving stations aligned, at a lateral separation of about 160 feet, and then maintain that station throughout the replenishment.

	Concord Marine News- What is GMDSS from Inmarsat
		Under the GMDSS, all cargo ships of 300 gross registered tonnes and upwards and all passenger ships engaged on international voyages must be equipped with radio equipment that conforms to international standards as set out in the system.
		The basic concept is that search and rescue authorities ashore, as well as shipping in the immediate vicinity of the ship in distress, will be rapidly alerted through satellite and terrestrial communication techniques so that they can assist in a co-ordinated search and rescue operation with the minimum of delay.
		Ships fitted with GMDSS equipment are safer at sea - and more likely to receive assistance in the event of a distress - because the GMDSS provides for automatic distress alerting and locating when ship’s staff do not have time to send out a full distress call.

	Combat Logistics Force
		The support of ships at sea is complicated by specific environmental (wind/sea state) impediments to resupply, and broader threat spectrums (including subsurface as well as surface and air).
		Strike-down is the process of receiving material from a ship onload point (the CONREP or VERTREP station, wet well, or other loading point), decomposing from the shipping configuration (when/where necessary), moving the material to the designated stowage location, and securing the material.
		The ships carry significant amounts of these commodities, for example, ship and aviation fuel (DFM and JP-5, respectively), ordnance, and other supplies such as ship and aircraft fuel, ordnance, and food, which enables combatant ships to operate at sea almost indefinitely, if required, without ever needing to go into ports to replenish their stocks.

	Signal flags: answer pennant
		The main use for the answer pennant is for the receiving ship to indicate that it has seen and understood the signal hoisted by the other ship.

	Play by E-Mail - Communication Rules
		During a scenario, it is next to impossible for a fleet admiral on one ship to have a lengthy tactical discussion with a captain on another ship.
		Enemy ships are flying by, damage reports are broadcast, ships are blowing up, etc. Life does not have a pause button, and combat doesn't even have a "normal speed" button.
		To simulate the limited capabilities of ships (and captains) to communicate with each other during combat, this is a set of rules to simulate limited communication between ships.

	USS New Hampshire
		The first USS New Hampshire of the United States Navy was originally to be the 74-gun ship of the line Alabama, but remained on the stocks for nearly 40 years, well into the age of steam, before being renamed and launched as a stores and depot ship during the American Civil War.
		Though ready for launch by 1825, she remained on the stocks for preservation; an economical measure that avoided the expense of manning and maintaining a ship of the line.
		The following year she was loaned as a training ship for the New York State Naval Militia, which was to furnish nearly a thousand officers and men to the Navy during the Spanish-American War.

		Ships fitted with GMDSS equipment are safer at sea - and more likely to receive assistance in the event of a distress - because the GMDSS provides for automatic distress alerting and locating when a radio operator does not have time to send out a distress call.
		A small, low-cost and self-contained "smart" printing radio receiver installed in the pilot house of a ship or boat checks each incoming message to see if it has been received during an earlier transmission, or if it is of a category of no interest to the ship's master.
		Three types of Inmarsat ship earth station terminals are recognized by the GMDSS: the Inmarsat A, B and C. The Inmarsat A and B, an updated version of the A, provide ship/shore, ship/ship and shore/ship telephone, telex and high-speed data services, including a distress priority telephone and telex service to and from rescue coordination centres.

		The receiver should have sufficient sensitivity to produce signals by means of a loudspeaker when the receiver input is as low as 50 microvolts.

	History of USS LST-481
		Another nasty thing that happened when the ship hit these huge waves, was that the terrific crash would cause the bunks in the crew's quarters to bounce, sometimes high enough to unhook the chains which fastened the three tiered bunks to hooks on the overhead or ceiling.
		While on the subject of armament, the ship also had a three inch gun which was mounted in an elevated gun tub on the stem, This was a dual purpose gun which meant that it could be used as an anti-aircraft gun or for shooting at surface targets.
		All the ships were totally fled out, and one LST in the dark looked pretty much the same as all the others, so we sometimes spent an hour or more before finding the 481, which might be only a ten minute trip away from the movie ship.

	History and Heritage - Ship of the Line
		The U.S. Navy required ships which could hold the line of battle in conflict, hence the name ship-of-the-line or line-of-battle ship, later shortened to battleship.
		The first of seven new ships approved by Congress, the three-masted square-rigger NORTH CAROLINA was considered the terror of the seas.
		Her great size limited the number of ports where she could be of service and so she returned to New York Navy Yard and served as a receiving ship for new sailors until 1866.
