The original seaQuest was featured in the show's first season, while the second boat was featured in the second and third seasons. Design specifications The seaQuest was the brain child of Captain Nathan Bridger, who designed the boat in the early 21st century, but Bridger left the Navy three years before construction on the ship was completed. Upon its completion,seaQuest was the largest submarine and deep submergence vehicle ever constructed, measuring 307.1 m from stem to stern with a crew of 88 military and 124 science personnel. The ship could travel at speeds up to 160 knots (295 km/h) and was propelled by twin fusion reactors. The seaQuest was coated in a genetically engineered bio-skin that remained completely inert against (most) marine bacteria and organisms with a crush depth of more than 9 km of water. The ship is equipped with a complement of standard torpedoes, as well as nuclear tipped SLBMs (believed to be named the Triton II), intercepts, sea to air missiles, and state-of-the art laser banks, as well as a specialized "grapnel torpedo", which, when fired, would impact a target and allow the seaQuest to tow or retract. The ship was also equipped with a series of WSKRS (pronounced "whiskers"; Wireless Sea Knowledge Retrieval Satellites): small sensor probes that were remotely controlled by the ship's sensor chief. The WSKRS, codenamed "Mother", "Junior", and "Loner", served as the "eyes and ears of of seaQuest " and could relay telemetry data back to the ship miles (kilometers) away. In a pinch, the WSKRS could also be used as an emergency power supply and could be reconfigured for communication purposes. A special"Hyper-Reality Probe" was also part of the seaQuest' s arsenal which allowed the operator to manually control the probe and conduct delicate repair operations or investigate various anomalies. The ship's communications buoy could also be detached to enable contact with surface bound vessels. The ship was also equipped with a series of sea launch shuttles, as well as a series of speeder shuttles, a series of sea crab-class vehicles and, eventually, a specialized, high-speed, one-man submersible namedThe Stinger by one of the designers, Lucas Wolenczak. In 2032, the boat was equipped with two high-speed spector-class sub-fighters: high speed submersibles capable of engagements up to speeds approaching 300 knots (554 km/h), comparable to (but not equal to) the Lysander-class sub-fighter engineered by Deon International. seaQuest featured an emergency override called the "Dead Man's Codes"; in the event that the ship's crew was incapacitated or dead, the codes could be used to bring the ship to any location on the globe by remote. The helm control has the final authority over the boat's course (Episode: "And Everything Nice"). The UEO Secretary General kept one set of the codes while another set was flash-fed into the computer banks and scrambled at random intervals. Originally designed as a purely military vessel, the seaQuest underwent a refit in 2017 following the Livingston Trench Incident and the signing of thethe United Earth Oceans Organization charter.

Commander Heiko Kimura(2032) History seaQuest DSV 4600 The seaQuest mission patch, introduced in 2018. Under the command of Captain Marilyn Stark, the seaQuest converged on the Livingston Trench where a showdown between various undersea confederations could have erupted in nuclear war. The seaQuest almost instigated hostilities when Stark planned to fire first in violation of NORPAC orders. Commander Ford instantly relieved her of command and the situation was defused. Thirteen months later, after an extensive scientific refit, the new UEO lured retired Captain Nathan Bridger aboard the ship as part of a VIP tour, however, once aboard, the seaQuest shoved off, effectively trapping Bridger aboard. Ford, under the orders of Admiral William Noyce, behaved in a very cowardly manner in an attempt to lull Bridger to take command. The ploy worked and Bridger signed aboard as captain. ("To Be or Not to Be") The seaQuest unwittingly brought aboard biochemist and war criminal Dr. Rubin Zellar several weeks later after Zellar had assumed the identity of his ice prison's warden. With free rein on the seaQuest , Zellar held the crew hostage with a toxin frozen in ice and gained access to the missile control room where he coerced Bridger and Ford to activate the ship's missiles and fire them towards UEO Headquarters in Pearl Harbor. However, Bridger had wisely disabled all the missiles once the crew learned of Zellar's true identity and disaster was averted. ("Games") The ship suffered significant damage when the communications buoy was struck by lightning several weeks later. With all power knocked offline, an away team stranded in a hurricane on the surface of the water, and a downed French sight-seeing submarine to search for, Bridger suggested that one of the WSKRS could be used to power the bridge stations enough to locate the French ship, save the away team and return to the ship to drydock for repairs. ("Bad Water") Several months later, seaQuest was hijacked by a group of ecologic extremists led by Colonel Steven Shrader, who planned to the use the ship's computer to obtain "shut-down codes" for various global pollutants. Shrader's plans were foiled when Commander Ford flooded the boat, causing Shrader and his men to panic and attempt to escape. However, Shrader failed to realize that because the seaQuest was sinking, the increased water pressure would crush his ship. He ultimately died in the attempt, while Lucas and Krieg were able to activate Captain Bridger's prototype "hull siphons" which pumped the flooding water out of the boat and refloated the ship. ("Nothing But the Truth") The seaQuest was also involved with several space-related incidents, such as the recovery of theWayfarer , the first manned space vessel to reach Mars as well as uncovering an ancient derelict alien starship which had been entombed in an underwater ridge for over a million years. The crew discovered that there were still active holographic projections aboard the ship that boarded theseaQuest and expressed their desire to have formal introductions with the human race. The bridge crew elected to send a message to the alien home world themselves and not tell the military about what had truly happened. ("Such Great Patience") Unfortunately, the seaQuest met her ultimate demise at the end of its tour of duty when Captain Bridger ordered all hands to abandon ship and locked the ship's autopilot into a direct course with a lava well that threatened to raise ocean temperatures and melt the polar ice caps. Detonating the ship's nuclear weapons. the massive explosion of the seaQuest was enough to seal the rupture and avert ecologic catastrophe. ("Higher Power") seaQuest DSV 4600-II With the UEO so impressed with the original seaQuest' s performance, they quickly provided the funds to commission a new boat, which entered service in 2021 with some new bridge crew members. The new ship's first task was to stop the G.E.L.F. (Genetically Engineered Life Forms) terrorists from destroying the world's oxygen production facilities. Bridger was able to convince the G.E.L.F. leader that destroying the human race would also result in their annihilation as well. ("Daggers") Months later, the seaQuest was thrust 250 years into the future, where the crew discovered that mankind had annihilated itself due to its dependence on computers for entertainment. Lucas was able to deactivate the remaining computer system, allowing the only two humans left on Earth to rely on each other to survive and repopulate the species.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Sommergibili Italiani Operanti Nell'atlantico Dal 1940 Al 1043
    Sommergibili italiani operanti nell’Atlantico dal 1940 al 1043 La base operativa Betasom a Bordeaux Testi e foto ricavati da Wikipedia BETASOM era l'acronimo di Bordeaux Sommergibile (ottenuto dall'unione della prima lettera della parola «Bordeaux» -espressa con il nome della lettera dell'alfabeto greco equivalente dal punto di vista fonetico («beta»)- e la prima sillaba della parola «sommergibile»), la base navale dei sottomarini della Regia Marina a Bordeaux (costa atlantica meridionale francese) durante la seconda guerra mondiale. La base accolse una trentina di battelli della Regia Marina dall’autunno 1940 all’8 settembre 1943, data dell’entrata in vigore dell'armistizio di Cassibile. La base Il 25 luglio 1940, il ministero della Marina italiano ottenne l'autorizzazione allo schieramento di un certo numero di sottomarini in appoggio alla Germania nazista per la guerra nell'oceano Atlantico. Il luogo prescelto per la sede delle operazioni fu la città di Bordeaux, dove fu costruita una base navale a cui fu assegnato il nome in codice di BETASOM. Napoli 1938 - Sommergibili italiani schierati per la visita di Hitler in Italia, accompagnato da Mussolini La strategia sarebbe stata impostata insieme all'alleato tedesco, ma dal punto di vista tattico e disciplinare i vari battelli avrebbero operato sotto la responsabilità dei rispettivi comandi. Questo perché Hitler temeva che in caso di impiego dell'aviazione tedesca in Africa Settentrionale, una richiesta simile di comando unificato avrebbe portato gli aviatori germanici sotto il comando italiano. La base era costituita da due darsene intercomunicanti attraverso una chiusa. Inoltre, la presenza di bacini di carenaggio rendeva possibile la messa a secco degli scafi per le necessarie operazioni di revisione e riparazione.

    LA GUERRA AERONAVALE LUNGO LE COSTE DELL’AMERICA MERIDIONALE GABRIELE FAGGIONI Alla data del 1° settembre 1939 la Royal Navy e la Marine Nationale avevano un’enorme superiorità navale sulla Kriegsmarine, disponendo in totale di 504 unità contro le 104 della Marina tedesca. Tuttavia solo 158 navi da guerra erano dislocate nei porti del Regno Unito e in quelli francesi della Manica e del Golfo di Biscaglia. Per la difesa del traffico mercantile nelle acque dell’Atlantico centro- meridionale, la Marina britannica dislocava il Comando Atlantico Meridionale, comandato dal viceamm. George H. D’Ogly Lyon, con base a Freetown, e la la Divisione America Meridionale (South American Division) a Port Stanley (Falkland). Questa divisione comprendeva la 6a Squadra incrociatori (incrociatore leggero Neptune); la 9a Squadra incrociatori (Dauntless, Despatch, Danae e Durban); la nave appoggio idrovolanti Albatross; una sezione della 4a Divisione cacciatorpediniere (Hunter, Hyperion); gli sloop Auckland, Londonderry, Bridgewater e la 7a Flottiglia sommergibili (Clyde e Severn). La Divisione dell’America Meridionale era composta dagli incrociatori pesanti Cumberland ed Exeter, dall’incrociatore leggero Ajax, da una sezione dalla 4a Divisione cacciatorpediniere (Havock e Hotspur) e dai pescherecci armati Maple e Redwood.( 1 ) (1) http://www.naval-history.net/xDKWW2-3909-04RN.htm.

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.
