anyways, my last try ... AFFF equipment piping is the same color as surrounding structure, not sure if that counts.. last (sort of) educated guess will be JP-5 fuel, purple in interior spaces. I know I know, its not a multiple choice

Since I know you had to dig for this and you did find the correct answer, which is JP5. I'll give it to you.
All other piping "may" be painted to match its hand wheel. JP5 "must" be painted to match its hand wheel. Most ships I had seen or been on also had the AFFF systems pained Red. I have also seen pictures from Carriers that show red, green, yellow, sky blue, and purple lines in the hanger deck.
Some ships will paint everything for the JP5 system purple, but only the piping is reguired to be painted.
If you get bored here is some reading for you.
MIL-STD-101B
That may have been superceded, I can check on that.
So, your up James!

Nancy Hanks
Aye, Mr. Adams...(with a bit o help from the swamp, eh?
)"In the USN, infrared signalling was known in visual communications circles as "Nancy Hanks". (Nancy Hanks was the maiden name of President Abraham Lincoln's mother). An infrared viewer was necessary to view infrared transmissions. In the USN, a Nancy viewer scope was also used to check for "light leaks" during periods of darken ship. Very often it picked up the glow of light from a "leaking" scuttle or someone having a smoke on the weather decks. Infrared viewing scopes were quite amazing in that you could even turn them on a dim star on a clear night and see that star quite clearly! The term "Nancy lights" was used in the RCN."
Onward, ho!

Okay, a little twist on this question.
This pilot has something very famous named for him. He is a Medal of Honor winner for his actions in the Battle of the Coral Sea. In gratitude for his service his native city changed the name of one of its major facilities for him.
Prior to having its name changed for this famous Naval aviator, what was its name?
PS. One minor hint, trees.

Orchard Place Airport/Douglas Field
aka O'Hare International Airport named for Butch O'Hare who's father was the accountant for Al Capone. O'Hare's testimony was used to convict Capone and send him to jail. In return for his cooperation, O'Hare's son, Butch, received admission to the US Naval Academy. Butch was in flight school at Pensacola NAS when his father was murdered in jail by Capone's stooges.

Ok guys, here is my question.
When a battleship or cruiser recovers their aircraft, what was the difference between a "Charlie" recovery and a "Dog" recovery?

Charlie Recovery-Ship makes a 90 degree fast turn into the wind creating a slick or what is know as smooth water. The plane lands on the slick onto a sea sled trailing out from the ships side and is then hoisted aboard by the fan tail crane.
Dog Recovery- The ship is at anchor or drifting. The plane lands near the ship and taxies up to the ship passing under the fantail crane for a hook up. No sea sled is used.

One is correct, the other isn't.
Hint - Both require the sled.goldenpony

One is while underway the other isn't. Then there is also a Baker recovery similar to a Charlie.

Hey guys, here's the info that I have. I'll give you "Charlie" and leave off the "Dog" recovery.
"There were four recovery techniques:
Able: After landing in the water, the aircraft was towed by motor whale boat into pick-up position.
Baker: The aircraft taxied under the crane, engine cut, and hoisted aboard.
Charlie: The ship executed a 90 degree turn across the wind line, creating a slick for touchdown and taxi to the sled which the aircraft engaged with a hook at the bottom of the main float. The aircraft was then maneuvered beneath the crane for hook-up and hoisting. "

I had to dig for it too. I found the question online, but the answer was for a different question. If no one gets it by 6:00pm CST, I'll post the answer and Jim can have the next question.
