A special Thank. You to Larry Van Horn for the section on NASA callsigns. In the intervening. I have added callsigns that I myself have heard and verified as well as. HF. utility communications hobbyists here in the US as well as Europe. One should take most military calls with a grain of salt. Usaf Super Pro Patch' title='Usaf Super Pro Patch' />They are often used. Also, the US military is closing bases left and right. For basically historical reasons I have left in many of the daily changing tactical. TACAMO ABNCPNAOC units. We may not see them again.

This is. also helps controls and pilots recognize their callsigns on the radio, especially. For example, if all that is understood. The 9. 1. callsign suffix is usually reserved for checkride sorties. NOTE 1 TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THE CALLSIGNS IN THIS LIST ARE FROM UNCLASSIFED. SOURCES NO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY INCLUDED IN THIS LIST. NOTE 2 Some of the callsigns were taken from aircraft Mode S tranmissions. These callsigns are entered.

Navys latest collision at sea, the Navy released a report on the June accident involving the USS Fitzgerald which caused the death of seven sailors. The report is a supplement to the line of duty investigation being conducted and details the circumstances of the deaths of seven sailors who drowned after the berthing compartment in which they were sleeping became flooded in under a minute. Something tragic happened off the coast of Japan on June 1. Its not entirely clear how itRead more Read. Because of the collision the Fitzgeralds commanding officer, executive officer and the top enlisted sailor were relieved of their duties and will face non judicial punishment for their roles in the destroyers accident. The twin at sea accidents have caused ripples across the Navy. Adm. John Richardson, the Chief of Naval Operations, has asked for an operational pause across the surface fleet. And according to Navy Times the commanding officer of the Pacific Fleet has questioned the focus of the fleet, saying in a message to the leadership of all warships that these recent accidents have occurred while the ships were conducting the most basic of operations. Even China is concerned about the U. S. Navys ability to safely operate its ships in the Pacific region. According to the. South China Morning Post, China is worried that the real threat of the U. S. Navy is not to their military, but rather to commercial shipping. USS Fitzgerald has remained at her homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, since shortly after the collision but yesterday the Navy announced that the ship will travel back to the U. S. for repairs as Huntington Ingalls Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi, will repair the destroyer. No date was given though it is expected the contract will be issued before the end of the year. The supplemental report issued on August 1. The large hole from the bulbous bow of the ACX Crystal allowed so much water to rush in quickly that no damage control efforts would have prevented the berthing compartment from flooding completely within two minutes. The window for survival was minimal but the sailors approached the task with calmness and an orderly process that allowed most to survive. The Collision. The Fitzgerald left Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan early on the morning of June 1. Less than 2. 4 hours later, early on the morning of June 1. The sea was calm with waves between two to four feet. The moon was bright with scattered cloud cover and visibility was unrestricted. Fitzgerald was operating in the standard condition of darkened ship, meaning all exterior lighting was secured except for the navigation lights, and interior lighting was set to red to reflect the nighttime conditions. The destroyer was set for condition Modified Zebra, which means that all doors and hatches at the main deck and decks below were shut to help create boundaries within the ship that could contain flooding or fire should one occur while underway. Should a casualty happen, these boundaries would hopefully compartmentalize the damage, preventing fire or flooding to spread rapidly throughout the ship. Approximately 1 3. Fitzgerald and the ACX Crystal collided. As previously disclosed, the port left side of the ACX Crystals bow struck the starboard right side of the destroyer above the waterline, while beneath the waves, the bulbous bow of the container ship hit the warship, puncturing the hull and creating a hole nearly 1. The second and third decks were torn into and water poured into Auxiliary Machine Room 1 AUX 1 and pushed the wall separating AUX 1 from Berthing 2 inward, bending it to a nearly 9. Berthing 2, with beds for 4. Immediately following the collision, Fitzgerald had a 1. However, as the water rushed into the ship through Berthing 2 below the waterline, the destroyer became heavier and sank further into the water and the port list quickly became a starboard list of seven degrees. External communications were immediately lost and power to the forward part of the ship was also lost. The running, or navigation, lights atop the destroyers mast were duly changed to what is called red over red. One red light over another is the internationally recognized indication that the vessel is not able to maneuver as expected as an incident has occurred. Berthing 2. As mentioned above, Berthing 2 is able to house 4. Fitzgeralds main deck. The space runs from the port side to the starboard side and is approximately 2. The overhead, or ceiling, is about 1. The 4. 2 beds are stacked three high, meaning there are 1. TV, table and chairs and a sofa for those assigned to Berthing 2 to relax. At 1 3. 0 a. m., the space was lit only via red light to match that the of darkened ship. Berthing 2 has three points of exit, two of which are on the port side. Only 3. 5 of the possible 4. Berthing 2 at the time of impact. Five others were on watch and two were not on board. Twenty eight sailors would escape the compartment but seven, fatally, would not. As would be expected, confusion ruled in the moments following the collision. Some sailors who survived reported that they were unsure what had happened while others slept through those first moments. Almost immediately, warning cries went out including, Get out, and Water on deck It has been estimated by survivors that Berthing 2 was nearly flooded within up to 6. Water was waist deep as sailors began to scramble up a ladder to safety as all manner of debris began swirling around the rushing water. Mattresses, furniture, wall lockers and even an exercise bicycle clogged the aisles, making the task of escaping for those trapped all the more perilous. With power out to the forward portion of the ship, not even the red lighting was on. Instead, lighting was coming from battle lanterns which hang from the ceiling. In near total darkness, dodging debris and the onrushing sea, 3. Despite the situations calamity, sailors reported that the attempted exodus from Berthing 2 was calm and orderly. The sailors lined up on the port side of the berthing space to exit via the port side ladder. There was no rush, no pushing and fighting to get out first, and sailors were helping other sailors who were in need, even though at this point water was up to most of their necks. At the bottom of the port ladder, two sailors were leading the exit from Berthing 2, making sure the egress was done in the quickest manner possible as the water continued to rise from the hole in Fitzgeralds hull. With it no longer possible to be at the bottom of the ladder, the two sailors were eventually forced to exit. Making sure no other sailors could be seen in the churning water, these two climbed the ladder and moved to the next level, moving though the watertight scuttle thatonce closedwould keep the flooding contained below. Though now in Berthing 1 and in relative safety, these two sailors continued to search for those who may be trapped below. Reaching into the dark water over and over again hoping to find someone still struggling to escape Berthing 2, their efforts were rewarded, as two more shipmates were found. Those two were completely underwater, pulled through the watertight scuttle and away from certain death. The last sailor to be pulled through the watertight scuttle told investigators that he had been in the head bathroom at the time of impact.
