  • NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: Ex- USS Pigeon (ASR-21)
    NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: ex- USS Pigeon (ASR-21) USS Pigeon (ASR-21) underway. Pigeon was the first of two catamaran-hulled SRVs. Location and date are unknown. http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/32/3221.htm Vessel History The USS Pigeon (ASR-21) was the first of two catamaran-hulled submarine rescue vessels commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1973. Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company in Mobile, Alabama won the construction contract on November 15, 1967. Its keel was laid on July 17, 1968 and it was launched on August 13, 1969. Pigeon was commissioned on April 28, 1973. It was the navy’s third vessel that carried the name. Pigeon was assigned to the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet, spending most of its career homeported at Naval Base San Diego. Its sistership, the USS Ortolan (ASR-22) was assigned to the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet in Norfolk, Virginia. The Pigeon spent the next two decades in readiness for the submarine disaster that fortunately never occurred. It spent frequent periods at sea conducting drills and training, including general training in saturation diving. The Pigeon successfully performed the navy’s first open ocean working saturation dive when it recovered the engine and ejection seat of an F-14 jet fighter that had crashed in 730 feet of water. The construction and design of the ships were a result of the loss of the nuclear-submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) in the deep waters of the North Atlantic in April 1963, and the subsequent loss of a hydrogen bomb in the western Mediterranean off of Spain’s coast in January 1966.

  • Submarine Rescue Capability and Its Challenges
    X Submarine Rescue Capability and its Challenges 41496_DSTA 4-15#150Q.indd 1 5/6/10 1:08 AM ABSTRACT Providing rescue to the crew of a disabled submarine is of paramount concern to many submarine-operating nations. Various rescue systems are in operation around the world. In 2007, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) acquired a rescue service through a Public–Private Partnership. With a locally based solution to achieve this time-critical mission, the rescue capability of the RSN has been greatly enhanced.

A comparative study of these three accounts of transsexual experience will also provide important insights into how twentieth century understandings of gender and sexuality were both challenged ‘Nature’s Cruel and reinforced by such attempts at gender transformations within Western society. ‘Transgender’ has replaced ‘transsexual’ in current practice and theory in recognition that the term relates to changing physical, social and psychological expressions of gender that are not Mistake’: necessarily related to sexual orientation or practice.5 However, while current theorists, as well as those who self-identify as transgender, have moved away from the term transsexual, this article Representations of Transsexual will use the older term transsexual in order to delineate the historically specific use of the word Experience in Twentieth-Century during the period being examined. When transsexual people first came to the attention of Western medicine and society, they were understood within a continuum between ‘normal’ and ‘deviant’ Autobiographies social and sexual behaviours that saw sexuality and gender to be inextricably linked and based on innate physical differences.6 In contrast, this article takes as a starting point the feminist challenge that biological and physiological characteristics (sex) are actually distinct from understandings of Bethany Phillips-Peddlesden behaviour and meaning for males and females, constructed through various social systems and Honours, discourses within particular historical contexts (gender).7 Likewise, embodiment here is defined University of Melbourne as the subjective experience of becoming a lived body within a particular society.

The Guinea Pig Club: Social Support and Developments in Medical Practice Camille Walton Advised by Steven Zdatny, Ph.D. Honors Thesis in History University of Vermont Spring, 2020 Walton 1 Introduction The Guinea Pig Club was a self-named group of burned Allied airmen in World War II who underwent serial operations to regain their appearance and identity at Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. There they were treated on Ward Three, also known as the Sty, by Dr.1 Archibald McIndoe, a pioneering plastic surgeon from New Zealand, who both advanced accepted methods and developed novel techniques of his own to address their wounds and rebuild their lives. The support networks McIndoe’s patients established during the war persisted for decades and transformed tragedy into resilience and grief into camaraderie. One such network was the Guinea Pig Club. One Sunday morning in July 1941, a group of hungover young men convalescing at Queen Victoria hospital decided to form a “grogging club” which was to become renowned for its support and community.
