The US Navy's Fast-Attack Submarines, Vol. 2

The complete history of the United States’ nuclear-powered Seawolf- and Virginia-class fast-attack submarines. Successors to the US Navy’s Los Angeles–class fast-attack submarines (presented in Volume 1), the Seawolf- and Virginia-class SSNs are presented here from their initial design and construction, through testing and trials, to current operations. From its debut in 1997, the nuclear-powered Seawolf (SSN-21) represented the lead ship of the deadliest submarine ever to be constructed for the USN during the Cold War. With the end of the Cold War, the Seawolf-class SSNs were limited to the three that were under construction at the time, and the program was terminated. With only three in the class, the supersecret USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) is virtually off limits to any and all photography. The author’s unprecedented access onboard a Seawolf-class SSN—the USS Connecticut (SSN-22)—is a first for the Navy and provides exclusive coverage found only in this book. In place of the Seawolf class, the Virginia-class attack submarine is an advanced stealth, multi-mission nuclear-powered submarine for deep-ocean antisubmarine warfare and littoral (shallow water) operations.

When asked to join the Communist Party as an informant in the FBI, Cvetic was told he would have to give up his life as he knew it. He infiltrated the part and served in his undercover role from 1941-1950. He endured nine torturous years during which he never had a minute of peace or confidence that he would not be discovered as a mole and killed by his comrades in the party. What were the secrets of his survival? Cvetic was what he had to be to do what he had to do. Cvetic could be cruel and kind, violent and gentle, petty, generous, cheap, cunning, naove, crude, and frankly, dishonest. He learned to live a life of lies. Truthfully, self-preservation was the essence of his existence.

An Introduction to Small UAS Deployment for Emergency Responders: Considerations for Organizational Requirements and Operations

Civilian drones are coming of age. Years of development in the recreational sector have allowed manufacturers to significantly improve the reliability, capability and performance of drones. Lower acquisition costs and increased public acceptance has also led to the proliferation of drones, formally known as small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In August 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved regulations for the commercial use of drones and extended the applicability of these regulations to the public sector. Today, the use of drones is being considered by public and private organizations for a multitude of applications, both in routine day-to-day operations and for emergency response. Despite the many technological advances, specific standards for drone flight training and program development are woefully lacking. The FAA's only requirement to obtain a drone pilot license is the successful completion of an independent study, knowledge-based written test. Currently, no standardized practical test exists. With hundreds of different drones available, the challenge of developing both a training and maintenance program for any organization becomes a daunting task. Guidance for drone program development is best served by subject matter experts in commercial aviation, drone law, public safety and public service organizations that can develop an emergency management program. The authors of An Introduction to Small UAS Deployment for Emergency Responders: Considerations for Organizational Requirements and Operations have developed recommendations for flight training and maintenance that help ensure the creation of a safe and efficient drone program. This material is based on the authors' experience, from operating a variety drones to successfully accomplishing mission assignments and developing documentation. While the ability to collect data with drones can save emergency responders considerable effort and expense, the program will only be successful with properly trained personnel utilizing professionally maintained equipment under a coordinated Incident Action Plan (IAP) involving other response agencies. A properly structured drone program will result in rapid deployment, better accessibility and accountability, and dependable resilience under "blue skies" as well as during incidents involving an emergency response. Within this first publication, topics include the following: - Introduction to drone types and technology - Drone operations in the National Airspace System - Drone applications for all the Mission Areas of Emergency Management - Drone program structure for the public and private sector - Drone flight operations and maintenance An Introduction to Small UAS Deployment for Emergency Responders: Considerations for Organizational Requirements and Operations was written with the aim of providing all organizations with fundamental information about drones, regulations, and program management. This publication is the first in a series that helps prepare organizations and traditional emergency responders utilize drone technology in a safe and efficient manner.
Accidental Ambassador Gordo

Accidental Ambassador Gordo

The comic strip Gordo was published in U.S. newspapers for forty-four years (1941-1985). For almost all of this run its creator Gus Arriola was the most visible American of Mexican descent working as a syndicated cartoonist. At its peak Gordo appeared in 270 newspapers and was the more widely circulated and longer-running of only two American comic strips set in Mexico.Gordo recounted the humorous adventures and amorous preoccupations of a portly Mexican bean farmer, whose name, Gordo, means ""fat."" Among the supporting cast were his perspicacious nephew, the menagerie of their farm animals, and citizens of their village. Originally, the characters played to the stereotypes of Mexicans as portrayed by Hollywood and in popular culture.When Arriola realized that in the U.S. his comic strip was the only mass-circulation medium that portrayed Mexicans, he began taking pains to reflect accurately the traditions south of the border. Gordo was transformed forthwith, and its chubby hero became, more by accident than by plan, an ambassador for Mexico and its culture.Converting his protagonist to a tour guide in the 1960s, Arriola was able to regale American readers with many aspects of Mexican folklore, history, and art in an entertaining but informative fashion, winning awards and accolades for his efforts. Because animals and insects in the strip were among its stellar attractions, Arriola was creatively positioned to stump for ecological concerns. He was one of the earliest in popular culture to do so.Profusely illustrated with runs of the strip from various periods, the book traces Arriola's artistic evolution and celebrates the cartoonist as a supremely inventive stylist whose artwork always displays design qualities unusual for a comic strip. His stunning Sunday fiestas of color and design are exemplified with eight pages of full-color reproductions.This is the first book focused exclusively on Gus Arriola and the first that extensively examines the Mexican milieu as portrayed in American comics.
