Rachel Scott, a paleomicrobiologist, is he- licoptered into a remote site in Egypt to visit people infected with a virus. Once spots appear, the victims die within two days. She draws blood from one of the in- fected men then races back to her heli- copter. US Naval Station, Norfolk, VA — At the dock of the USS Nathan James, mem- bers of the Naval Mounted Warfare Unit want to bring their dog, Admiral Halsey, aboard. CMC Jeter doesn’t think the cap- tain, Commander Tom Chandler, will go for it. Chandler checks in on Dr. Scott, who has just arrived and taken over the helicopter bay for her lab. He’s concerned about the safety of the 218 people aboard. She tells him they’re virologists studying birds – she’s lying. Four Months Later Top Secret Delta Mission on radio silence at the North Pole — Scott collects samples from the frozen ground while back on the ship Chandler runs a test of their missile system, which is successful. He announces to the ship that they’ve completed their mission successfully and he’s going to ask the Pentagon permission to break their four months of radio silence. 3 The Last Ship Episode Guide Chandler sends two men to retrieve Dr. Scott, who hasn’t finished her work yet. Back on the ship, she confronts Chandler, who is tired of her belligerence. He tells her they’re heading home so she has to wrap up her work. Lieutenants Kara Foster and Danny Green step into a supply closet to make out briefly, but she puts him off until they’re home. In her lab, Scott tries to reach the National Security Advisor to ask for more time to complete her work. Her assistant, Dr. Quincy Tophet, stabs a mouse with a syringe and generally looks shifty. Chandler radios the Pentagon but is told their mission has been extended and they’re to maintain radio silence and await word. Day Two of Mission Extension On the bridge, Chandler is annoyed that Dr. Scott is back out on the ice. She announces to Quincy that she thinks she’s found what they’re looking for. Suddenly, five unknown aircraft appear on the ship’s radar. The two men guarding Scott see that they’re Russian and race toward her, immediately taking fire on their snow mobiles. Dr. Scott furiously packs up her samples as Quincy urges her to leave them. The helicopters continue to pursue the snow mobiles, firing on them and then the doctors. Commandos jump out of one of the copters and take on the seamen on foot. Chandler locks down the ship and prepares to fire. Out on the ice, Admiral Halsey, the dog, attacks a sniper before he can fire on Dr. Scott. Two of the Russian copters begin firing on the ship and Chandler orders them destroyed. One goes down and the big gun takes out another. Back on the ship, Chandler interrogates one of the Russians, asking what he wants. ”The cure,” the man says. Chandler orders Slattery to break radio silence and confronts Dr. Scott about ”the cure,” threatening her samples. She relents: Seven months ago there was an outbreak outside Cairo unlike anything they’d ever seen. The CDC and WHO wanted a sample of the virus from the victims, but nothing worked. She thought they had to find the primordial carriers – the birds. She finally found their feeding ground. She had orders from the White House and a satellite phone to stay in contact. When they left, the virus was in phase 2, in small clusters in Asia and Africa. They’re now at Phase 6 Global Pandemic, 80 percent of the world’s population is sick. She admits most of her colleagues think she’s crazy, but she says what’s in the case might be the only hope they have. Slattery interrupts to let Chandler know the President of the United States is on the video conference. Chandler gives Dr. Scott her samples. On the vid-com, Chandler is surprised to learn the president is the woman who was Speaker of the House when they left. The president died two months ago, the vice president a week later. The remaining government is holed up in a bunker. Russia no longer has a functioning government and most of the population is sick or dying – including, likely, the families of everyone on the ship. She tells him to head to a secure lab off the coast of North Carolina, so Dr. Scott can work on the vaccine. Later, Chandler and Slattery watch news reports about the end of the world and mass rioting for food. Slattery seethes at being left in the dark, and Chandler resolves to tell the crew everything. They’ll head to the coast of France in the hopes of refueling at an unmanned station. Chandler addresses the assembled crew on the deck. Later, Chandler tries to get through to his wife and kids, but the phones are down. He wonders if he’ll ever see them again. On the bridge, Chandler learns that only four people were able to get through to home and the news wasn’t good. Slattery learned his son is dead, but his wife and daughters are in a safe zone. Suddenly, after no radio contact, they get an unconfirmed fire order and in the next second they’re being fired upon by a surface ship. It’s a nuclear missile. They prepare for impact, but it flies clear over them and hits land -France. The systems go out on the ship, leaving them in the blast zone. 4 The Last Ship Episode Guide In the lab, with limited power, Rachel and Quincy scramble to save their melting samples. With one more charge left to essentially jump start the ship, Chandler holds the electronics in place himself, getting thrown into the wall – but the power comes back on. With almost no fuel left, they head for an abandoned Italian cruise ship nearby. Unable to reach anyone, Chandler, Dr.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs December 13, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. On July 13, 2012, the Navy submitted to Congress a 73-page report on the Navy’s policies and practices for naming ships. For ship types now being procured for the Navy, or recently procured for the Navy, naming rules can be summarized as follows: The first Ohio replacement ballistic missile submarine (SBNX) has been named Columbia in honor of the District of Columbia, but the Navy has not stated what the naming rule for these ships will be. Virginia (SSN-774) class attack submarines are being named for states. Aircraft carriers are generally named for past U.S. Presidents. Of the past 14, 10 were named for past U.S. Presidents, and 2 for Members of Congress. Destroyers are being named for deceased members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including Secretaries of the Navy.

    Murder, Media, and Mayhem: The Metamorphosis of California Murder Cases to International Media Sensations By: Olivia Cusimano Advisor: Richard Perry Undergraduate Legal Studies Honors Thesis University of California, Berkeley 1 “Sometimes the power of the media, the power of the movie, can be very subtle and great.” -James Blatt, Attorney for Jesse James Hollywood I would like to take a moment to thank all those who helped me take an idea grown while watching Investigation Discovery on the couch and develop it into this project. From the initial guidance of Professor Musheno and Christina Carbone to the astute guidance of my advisor, Professor Perry, I am forever thankful. My family, too, has supported me mentally and even intellectually. To my Aunt Diane, I owe you so much for your direction and insight. I never would have parsed out a coherent thesis without our conversations at The Natural Café. Additionally, a never-ending thanks to those who supported me, made sure I didn’t give up, and listened to my unending laments without disowning me: Kent, Mike, Brendan, Safeena, Dani the entire Student Advocate’s Office, and everyone else who spent any iota of time listening to my laments. 2 Table of Contents I.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.

She is tangible evidence of America's proud naval heritage and maritime traditions. In 1794. when CONSTITUTION and five other frigates were authorized. the new United States of America had been without a Navy for nine years. During those years. the young nation'seconomy depended upon. and was nurtured by. seaborne commerce with peoples around the world. Those of our merchants who traded in the Mediterranean found it increasingly more difficult to conduct busi- ness because of the attacks of the Barbary (North African) pirates. who knew there was no U.S. Navy to stop them. Finally, on March 27. 1794. Congress passed a bill to establish the U:S. Navy that we know today.

    Presents: Directed by BRUNO BARRETO Starring: MIRANDA OTTO GLORIA PIRES TRACY MIDDENDORF Screenplay by MATTHEW CHAPMAN and JULIE SAYRES, Based on the Screenplay by CAROLINA KOTSCHO, AC. Two iconic women One passion Based on the true love story of Elizabeth Bishop and Lota de Macedo Soares. Marketing/Publicity Contacts required viewing Steven Raphael [email protected] Denise Sinelov [email protected] Big Time PR Sylvia Desrochers [email protected] Tiffany Bair Wagner [email protected] Short synopsis Academy Award nominateed filmmaker Bruno Barreto (FOUR DAYS IN SEPTEMBER, DONA FLOR AND HER TWO HUSBANDS) returns with a sophisticated tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures. Grappling with writer’s block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop (Miranda Otto) travels from New York City to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf). Hoping to find inspiration on Mary’s sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more — a tempestuous relationship with Mary’s bohemian partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires), that rocks the staid writer to her foundation. Alcoholism, geographical distance and a military coup come between the lovers, but their intimate connection spans decades and forever impacts the life and work of these two extraordinary artists. The attraction of two polar-opposite women has rarely been so volatile and so erotically charged on the big screen. Long synopsis 1951, a cargo boat arrives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil coming from New York. ELIZABETH, 40, disembarks, she plans on leaving for a journey through South America on a boat that will depart within 5 days.
