Help me turn this into a good essay. The Hunt for Red October. No B.S.?
I need this to be more descriptive, and just all around better. i do not have the time to work on this right now because i have to read dante's inferno, then i have to read a book on dante's inferno, and then i have to wright an essay on dante's inferno. please help.To anyone who has seen the movie, reading this book will even be more exciting. The world’s newest and most advanced submarine built by the Russians , the Red October is heading to the US to defect. His superiors did not learn about it until it was too late. It’s skipper, Marko Ramius designed it and it is almost undetectable even to the other Russian submarines. It was supposed to participate in a training exercise but the other Russian vessels lost track of it. They did not know what it was up to and their orders were to find and destroy it before the Americans get hold of it. But they could not find her. Marko Ramius mentored most of the submarine officers and he knew all the tricks to elude them. All the naval activities aroused the suspicion of the Americans because they were running around in the Atlantic Ocean, their territory. They called in a specialist, Jack Ryan to analyse the motives of the Russians. Ryan is a historical novelist who now and then does some work for the CIA. He guessed it right that the Red October plans to defect. The Yanks even borrowed the “Invincible” from the Brits because most of their carriers are out of action because of repairs or too far away to be recalled. They trailed the Russians and intimidated them and had some casualties. One of their jets was shot down. They could not retaliate. The Russians now just ignored them and proceeded to look for their missing sub. One genius sonar man discovered an unusual sound and it was the Red October. They were finally able to catch up with it and Ryan and a British officer who spoke Russian boarded it to guide it to port. Actually Ramius sabotage the submarine to make it look like some mishap to force them to land somewhere. The American navy took out the serial number and put it into another wreckage to fool the Russians that the Red October sank. They took the crew with the exclusion of Ramius and some of his trusted officers to shore and repatriated them to their homeland. They were asked if they wanted to defect but they declined and were sent home. They later found out that it would have been better if they defected as they were subjected to harassment as to what has happened to their submarine The Russian fleet proceeded to head home but they left a few to look around in case they discover something. The skipper of one Russian sub who served under Ramius later sensed and recognise the distinctive sound of the Red October being escorted and it fired on it without awaiting authorisation from his superiors as otherwise he would lose track of it. The Red October was hit a but it did not sink. The American escorts could not fire back because of strict orders only to defend themselves if fired upon. Ramius trained the skipper of the Russian submarine so he knew how to outsmart him. As the Alfa fired again and this time it was a torpedo with a safety device, they were able to evade it. With the cunning of Ramius and the approval of Skipper Mancuso, an American skipper to help him navigate it safely to American territory they decided to meet the Alfa head on and they collided and with Red October’s massive size it upturned and sank the Russian submarine. Mancuso guided it to port well concealed and met by two American officers. The Russians would never know the Yanks have outsmarted them.
Pytanie #2:
Should i remain loyal?
I am presented with a dilemma. I am part of a lucrative military free trade agreement. My ally and i enjoy large supply trade and are making excellent progress in securing the last enemy controlled area, but as the divisions are moving i am thinking of attacking him, a victory against my unsuspecting ally would give me strategic dominance in the lake network in which we are operating. The tactical situation is: He has a bigger airforce but not by much. My land army vastly outnumbers his, as does my navy which has two aircraft carriers loaded with f14s and a large escort fleet to shell his base. A surprise attack after a large build up in his base would almost certainly yield my desired response although i feel somewhat cowardly attacking him. What do you recommend?Pytanie #3:
should I invest in another kennel for my cat?
I bought him one like two years ago. cheap. It held good for the one time we took him out which was for the vet. similar to this one Click Hereit is missing now like two of the plastic screws. I could fix that with the plastic strips...like these. Click Here
THE problem is that I have always found the cage a bit cramped for my cat. he does move to turn around but not easily. I am taking him to the vet next month. and what is even worst, it is not that good, he is about 15 pounds and I am afraid that the handle will break which then will cause him to fall in and the door to open with the impact. and I dont wanna lose my baby.
I am going by car though..but there is a chance that I wont be able to take him in car. I might be to paranoid?

Nuclear war scenario for History homework - what do you think ?
Okay , we have been asked for homework to write a East bloc v. Western bloc war scenario. So here is a summary of my primary idea for it ; - tell me what you think , or what I need to improve ETC - any advice appreciatedIt's 1983 , Reagan is in power as the US president (obviously) and tensions with the Soviet Union begin to build. Operation Able Archer '83 ends on the 11th of November , but leaves a noticeable feeling of hostility and mistrust between the two sides. The Soviet Union , in the December begins to suffer vast fuel shortages , weakening its economy. The US domination of the Persian gulf prevents the Soviets being able to purchase the necessary amount of Oil from the region to revitalize its economy. In an attempt to force the US into a position where it has to consent to the Soviet Union purchasing oil from the region , the Politburo orders Warsaw Pact forces to blockade West Berlin. However , this time , a much more dangerous scenario occurs than in 1949 , The Soviet Union vows to shoot down any NATO aircraft that enters the airspace of East Germany , effectively cutting the West Berlin off from the west. As the people imprisoned behind the Berlin wall find that supplies are running low , negotiations fail. And the American Strategic Nuclear Forces reduce to a status of Def con 3. Pershing II missile which could hit the russian capital within eight minutes of their launch are deployed across western Europe , intensifying the situation.
In the February of 1984 , The Berlin Brigade is mobilized and this action makes the Soviet Union feel increasingly threatened. Soviet TU-95 Patrols begin to penetrate American airspace undeterred by the intercepting American fighter aircraft. Then , in march , a squadron of Soviet bombers is detected heading towards Anchorage (Alaska) , Fighter jets are scrambled to meet them , however , they continue , despite warning shots being fired across their path. The US air force decides to take action and orders that they shoot the bombers down if they penetrate US airspace - they do. Relations between the Kremlin and Pentagon fall to an all time low , and the US government decides to prepare the NATO forces in Europe for an all out war with the Soviet Union.
A massive Convoy is readied which contains military supplies and troops destined for Europe , on hearing this , the Soviet Union decide to mount a massive naval blockade , running from the tip of Southern Norway , to the Northern spain , and announce passing it will be an act of war. The US convoy , escorted by Royal navy escorts , penetrates it , and a massive naval battle ensues. After the first hour over 15% of the Convoy is destroyed, but then the tide turns and the US and British navies manage to use the air superiority provided by their aircraft carriers in the area to attack the soviet fleet damaging and sinking it. The Atlantic shipping lanes remain open , but world war three has begun.
Last ditch diplomatic efforts come to nothing , and across Europe , governments begin to broadcast terrifying civil defense programs. Now the NATO forces in Europe are fully mobilized and a period of non-action passes. Then in May , the Soviets surprise everyone and invade Iran and Iraq. NATO forces in Europe are ordered to begin an advance into East Germany to free West Berlin and deter the soviet action , meanwhile , the US scrambles bombers to attack a massive Soviet airbase set up in Iran. The bombers are attacked by fighter aircraft and shot down , so , in a chilling turn of events the US air-blast a nuclear bomb over the airbase. The airbase is destroyed but in response The Soviets authorize a attack on the West German capital Bonn using biological weapons. Now , the US decides to respond in kind , Strategic Air Command authorizes nuclear attacks on Vladivostok , Leningrad and Murmansk as part of a response to show their resolve.
In response attacks early warning stations across the UK attacking with bombers armed with conventional , non-nuclear weapons as well as attacking New York , New Orleans and Newport News with ICBMs. The USA sees no alternative. Strategic air Command takes to the air and SIOP is initiated. The Soviet Union launches its Nuclear weapons in response , and targets across Europe and America are destroyed - in total 4000 megatons are exchanged.
So what do you think - any comments ?
Pytanie #6:
uss constitution? frigates of Navy? about Naval history? and confusing of hull number?
1. First I read that frigates was appeared in Navy during WW2 as a destroyer escort then became frigate. And I read another thing that President Washington signed a law to make six frigates: Constitution, Constellation, Congress, United States, President, Chesapeake.I don't understand it. Is it because of the time that six frigates were made was Continental Navy, not U.S. Navy?
2. So, is USS Constitution the oldest warship of the Navy designed Frigate?
3. Every ship has a number likes USS Port Royal (CG 73), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and USS Maine (SSBN 741), etc.
What does that number mean?
In USS Abraham Lincoln, the book says the number 72 means that the ship is the 72nd aircraft carrier authorized for construction. Oh my God, I can't believe it. If so, what about USS Maine?
Is she the 741st submarine authorized for construction? Does it mean that there was 740 submarine before her?
I need explain, please.
Thank you.

Pytanie #12:
Pet Owners. What do you think of the first ever Pet Airlines? Details inside->?
Paws up: All-pet airline hits skiesNEW YORK – One trip for their Jack Russell terrier in a plane's cargo hold was enough to convince Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel that owners needed a better option to get their pets from one city to another.
On Tuesday, the first flight for the husband-and-wife team's Pet Airways, the first-ever all-pet airline, took off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y.
All commercial airlines allow a limited number of small pets to fly in the cabin. Others must travel as checked bags or in the cargo hold — a dark and sometimes dangerous place where temperatures can vary wildly.
Binder and Wiesel used their consulting backgrounds and business savvy to start Pet Airways in 2005. The last four years have been spent designing their fleet of five planes according to new four-legged requirements, dealing with FAA regulations and setting up airport schedules.
The two say they're overwhelmed with the response. Flights on Pet Airways are already booked up for the next two months.
Pet Airways will fly a pet between five major cities — New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. The $250 one-way fare is comparable to pet fees at the largest U.S. airlines.
For owners the big difference is service. Dogs and cats will fly in the main cabin of a Suburban Air Freight plane, retooled and lined with carriers in place of seats. Pets (about 50 on each flight) will be escorted to the plane by attendants that will check on the animals every 15 minutes during flight. The pets are also given pre-boarding walks and bathroom breaks. And at each of the five airports it serves, the company has created a "Pet Lounge" for future fliers to wait and sniff before flights.
The company will operate out of smaller, regional airports in the five launch cities, which will mean an extra trip for most owners dropping off their pets if they are flying too. Stops in cities along the way means the pets will take longer to reach a destination than their owners.
A trip from New York to Los Angeles, for example, will take about 24 hours. On that route, pets will stop in Chicago, have a bathroom break, play time, dinner, and bunk for the night before finishing the trip the next day.

Pytanie #16:
What ever happened to the Royal navy? Can we cast adrift Tony Blair?
Ok... im sick and tired of our leaders broken promises... We have no new carriers, only one new destroyer on the water (which will be at least a year working up) and the rest of the escort program has been reduced to 6 hulls (i doubt if we see more then 4!). We have 10 knot assault ships, a fleet without fuel and our subs will wear out long before the astutes are ready (and we will be lucky to see more then 2 of them!!!).So, what happend? did IQ's drop at the admiralty or did they all lose their spines one night? I have been a defence writer for 10 years now and i have had way tooo much.... in fact im about ready to break a number of sacred trusts... going political and kicking up a regular S$%T STORM would be so tempting right now... do you think the public will understand why we have blown the defence budget for the next 5 years on paperwork... with out a single new ship commisioning? I know i dont.
Anyone got any insights?
Note: once upon a time i might have been less inclined to be "sensational" but not now. The programs are shrinking.. it was once 14 new destroyers...now its 6 with one ready for trials and two on slip... if the fourth shows up i will eat my keyboard. Also the sub situation is worse, we need 6 ssn's in full commision at all times.. when the last two s class payoff we will be able to operate 5 tops... when the T's start paying off it will only get worse and the Barrow yard state on the record that only 2 are on order....DO THE MATH! (to the navy officer...we infantry types cant add up beyond ten you know old chap...so perhaps you can explain how the situation isnt so bad?).
"It is upon the navy..." winston knew what he was talking about
pps... the astute will launch yes...but working up will take forever as its a new class and we can thus expect at least three years before its in service.
ppps... bugger! im out of gin, anyone got a bottle of saph spare?
Join the army? the only mob worth joining was axed a while ago... and im not joining the bloody duke of lanc's! Im a Border lad or nothing... so much for one of the oldest regt in the uk order of battle :(
Bugger Europe! what about CHINA! what about our commitments toi the commonwealth? Or do we only exist as hired muscle for Brussels?

What was the final tally of American and Japanese ships sunk or captured in WWII?
In this list I want to name only aircraft carriers, including Light Aircraft Carriers (CVL); Carrier Escorts (CVE); and regular Aircraft Carriers (CV); I also want to include Destroyers (DD); Destroyer Escorts (DE); Cruisers (including [BC] Battle Cruiser; [CA] Heavy Cruiser; [CL(AA)] Light Cruiser [Antiaircraft]; and [CL] Light Cruisers); and Battleships (BB). What was the final tally of ships sunk or captured on both sides? You may include (SS) Submarines. Don't count ships lost during storms or that collided with friendlies--unless they were later captured by the enemy. e.g., US destroyer Borie (DD-215), which had an epic battle with German sub U-405, would be listed in that tally because it sunk as a result of battle, namely, a gaping hole in its bow after an attempt at ramming U-405. (A wave caught the bow just as it was about to ram the German tin can, and dropped the bow on the U-boat's tail fin, causing the hole. U-405 sunk too.) But only Japanese and US boats, please...** Powered by Yahoo Answers
