Your post about SDSU -> Cal reflects my own experience moving between those two schools.
Thanks.

Mike - Kind of an off-the-wall question, but who do I contact concerning "donating" scale models (mostly aircraft) to the model shop down on Broadway? I asked Keith LaDue that question a couple of years ago, but he promptly defected to the Pampanito shortly thereafter, so I never got an answer. Do I ask Rolf or Rick? The only person I've really been in contact with recently is Chris Miller.

Thanks!

P.S. Would it be okay if I let everyone on the Board know about your website, www.usshornet-cv12.com? I think a lot of people would be interested in it.

"I'm also pretty sure there might have been something in a Vallejo newspaper as this is a big deal for them at Mare Island."

Also a very bad deal for HSMPS as that was where they wanted to berth the Iowa.

CONFIDENTIAL: I'm going down to San Pedro tomorrow to inspect Berth 87. That's the spot that the Harbor Commissioners think would be the best place for her.

GENERAL QUARTERS:

Many manuals and plans I had saved on the BB's are mysteriously missing.

I need help FAST on the following items for pierside services:

1: Sizes of piping and valves to provide fresh water on board.

2: Sizes of piping and discharge flanges for both waste water and brown water.

3: Amount of electrical supply (volts, amps, whatever) to run the ship in a museum status.

Los Angeles Harbor needs to know this info to prepare a pier for the Iowa.

I've got a BIG favor to ask of you.

On the hangar deck are the mast sections. From photos the main leg looks only 1/2" thick but is supposed to be 3/4" HY-80. Please measure the thickness for me. THEN take a magnet and see if it sticks to the weld of the seam.

By the photos, the mast was neatly cut off with an oxy-acetylene torch, THROUGH the welds. If it was HY-80, the welds should be NON-magnetic Stainless Steel and CANNOT be cut with a torch. Only carbon arc could cut them.

I know it's illegal, immoral and fattening to do so bug could you cut out a 1" wide by 6" long section across the weld for me.

I have a metallurgist up at China Lake that will analyze it for me. With that info we can fine tune our mast repair schedule (if it is NOT HY-80, then we do not need to take up time pre-heating and post-heating it).
