HEWA ...FUCK USA: THE REAL TERROR IN TERRORIST !!!July 15, 2009USS Hawai'i to arrive in Pearl Harbor on July 23 for statehood celebrationsBy William ColeAdvertiser Military WriterThe USS Hawaiçi, the first of the new Virginia-class submarines expected to be homeported at Pearl Harbor, is scheduled to arrive July 23 at the sub base to pomp and 50th statehood anniversary ceremony.A U.S. Pacific Fleet schedule of band performances said a ceremonial band will be on hand at 10 a.m. for the sub’s arrival. A host of state officials, including Gov. Linda Lingle, the ship’s “sponsor,” are expected to greet the Hawaiçi and its crew.The arrival of the state’s namesake submarine also will be feted as part of statehood celebrations. Details for public viewing of the submarine’s arrival have not yet been released.The approximately $2.5 billion submarine is capable of supporting a variety of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, actions involving special operations forces, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and mine warfare.There are 16 older Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines based at Pearl Harbor. The 377-foot Hawaiçi will be followed by another Virginia-class sub, the Texas, in the fall.U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaiçi, previously said the USS North Carolina also would be based at Pearl. Pearl Harbor and Groton, Conn., initially will be the home port for all new Virginia-class submarines, the Navy said.Commissioned May 5, 2007, the Hawaiçi was the third Virginia-class attack submarine built. The sub and its crew left the Naval Submarine Base at Groton on May 13 for Pearl Harbor.Cmdr. Ed Herrington, the sub’s commanding officer, said on a USS Hawaiçi blog that the ship spent about nine hours last Friday passing through three sets of Panama Canal locks and a large lake on the way to the Pacific.“The locks are challenging for any ship and especially for submarines,” Herrington said. “We don’t have bow thrusters on submarines, so fitting a 7,600-ton submarine into a 110-foot-wide canal is to say the least interesting. My line handlers topside have to haul in these very heavy cables to secure the boat to the lock and do so as the ship is drifting within feet of the canal walls. If they don’t get the lines over quickly the ship could stand into trouble. Luckily on USS Hawaiçi I have a very talented and strong group of line handlers topside and they got the lines over efficiently and with plenty of time to spare.”Although Hawaiçi is a new submarine, it was the sub’s third trip through the Panama Canal, Herrington said. Three sailors received their “Dolphins,” or submarine warfare pin, during the transit.For those who want to read about the sub’s progress, the blog is at: http://usshawaiissn776.blogspot.com/.The Hawaiçi is part of a new Navy emphasis on the Pacific, with a planned shift that will position 60 percent of its attack subs in the Pacific, and 40 percent in the Atlantic.By the end of 2009, 31 of the Navy's 53 fast attack submarines will be homeported in the Pacific Ocean, with 22 in the Atlantic.The Navy said dozens of countries, including North Korea and Iran, have quiet diesel electric subs, and more than 180 foreign submarines operate in the Pacific within reach of critical chokepoints and navigational sea lanes.Attack submarines can defend against other subs, shadow carrier strike groups, conduct covert surveillance as nations like China become increasingly territorial, and launch Tomahawk cruise missiles.The new Virginia-class subs have the ability to maneuver closer to shore, and have lockout chambers for up to nine commandos.
Pono,
My assumption is you read Ku Chings post on Hilo's celebration. Note the articles ideology on China, that's the fall out disscussion at the end of our three day 'talk' at Iolani Palace. If Taiwan fold under US pressure, or annexation this could trigger the onset of a new world war or unrest. To date the 'tribes' in Taiwan are not recognized by the United Nations, so they have no voice, however, the only voice that Taiwan has is the Chinese residence from mainland China. A talk story with David Ma could enlighten everyone's thinking on such an important issue. Holding the line and talking about more pollution in Pearl with plutonium seems to be the direction to guide our young minds, until we get a grip on the issues of China. I don't think the Sun Yet Sen's three guiding prinicples 'The People's Relation/Connection, and The People's Power' is enough to sustain 'thought and peace in the Pacific Ocean'. Kaohi
