only 16 guns? why the dreadnoughts and battlecruisers of her majestys royal
navy had 18 guns.

Of course there at the bottom of the northsea near jutland with the other
half of the grand fleet and German navy but lets not split hairs..

one would have to consider high tides during a full moon to get an accurate
measurement.

 I am also sorry about this but...

 I think all the calculation regarding height limit should be made based on
 high tides; it is easier to know if a ship would be able to pass on high
 tide or not, when its the sentsitive time to let it pass, with it is
 higher tides...

RE: Carrier Class Gateway

2001-04-27 Thread Book, Robert

Geez, the nerve of some people :-)
If I'm not mistaken, there have been all too many international
efforts to advance this TORPEDO protocol. Several years ago, there were
several Germans who took the lead in this field with some similar efforts
from several Japanese. Eventually, the US protocol specialists prevailed,
when supplemented by the use of other protocols, but the protocol was not
submitted as an RFC and eventually fell into disfavor. It was determined
from empirical data gathered from field trials that the time and expense of
recovering (defragmenting) the packets far exceeded the benefit of utilizing
the transport media in certain networks. 
This met the design criteria of the protocol. However, this protocol
was based on a discrimination algorithm, referred to as WLOPWHYP (We Like
Our Packets, We Hate Your Packets). Any invocation of this protocol in one
direction was likely to elicit an disproportionate invocation of this
protocol in the other direction. I'm glad to see we've managed to effect the
more egalitarian algorithm MPOKYPOK (My Packet's OK, Your Packet's OK.)
Personally, I believe it would significantly add to mine, and many
other people's, happiness if we could all go to our deathbeds knowing the
TORPEDO protocol never reached the status of an RFC (marginal acceptance may
be possible if that RFC was submitted on April 1), and ever saw use in the
field again.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled show already in progress..

Not at all.  On a trip between oceans, waiting less than 12 hours for
a favorable tide is probably negligible.  And outside the locks, any
ship that fit through the locks will not block other traffic that
also fits through the locks.

 what type of media do you propose to run ISBP over?
 
 Sailor-to-Sailor Relay

Relay?  Sounds like a synchronous protocol, requiring heavy use of 
real-time techniques such as semaphores --

  http://www.anbg.gov.au/flags/semaphore.html

If it were truly carrier class it would have large enough spools 
to handle plenty of asynchronous messages --

  http://www.anbg.gov.au/flags/signal-flags.html

However, those of us who choose to use asynchronous protocols can 
more easily make use of powerful, space saving message compression --

This would a collision avoidance protocol.  For example, measure maximum
height of the carrier class unit, compare to minimum height of the
terrestrial routed physical path bridge.  If the CCU exceeds the TRPPB, it
must back off and wait until the next measurement cycle or until the
measurement process if manually initiated.  Some consideration has to be
made for the potential fluctuation of the media path of the CCU.

Sorry to add yet another post to a pointless thread but...
Lloyd was right the first time.  Height limit would be based on low tide.
For ships that are near the height limit, waiting a mean time of 6 hours
for the next low tide is not a big deal.

RE: Carrier Class Gateway

2001-04-25 Thread Book, Robert

Hmm, does this mean we need a BOF to determine if there is a need
for a ShipsInTheDay protocol or if the ShipsInTheNight protocol would be
adequate for the job (with a few extensions of course)? Are we sure that ATM
would be desirable in this instance? Personally, I think this sounds like a
job for IPv9 Man.if I'm not mistaken, each semaphore/signal flag will
require it's own IP address so as to have the capability to report usage
stats via SMNPvx, at least...
But I must state it is so rewarding to see the enthusiasm being
generated by this thread. I will no longer tolerate anyone saying the IETF
is not sensitive or responsive to the needs of the user community..
Are our days so dull..? :-)

Re: Carrier Class Gateway

2001-04-25 Thread Pat Holden

one would have to consider high tides during a full moon to get an accurate
measurement.

 I am also sorry about this but...

 I think all the calculation regarding height limit should be made based on
 high tides; it is easier to know if a ship would be able to pass on high
 tide or not, when its the sentsitive time to let it pass, with it is
 higher tides...

There is no such thing.  Neither the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal,
nor any other man-made waterway has locks large enough to accommodate
a modern aircraft carrier.

Being able to use our warships in either ocean as needed used to be a
major consideration, since it allowed us to build fewer of these
expensive ships than we would otherwise need.  Back when the Iowa class
ships were built, this was a design _requirement_.  The limiting locks
are 110' wide, and the Iowas are 108' wide.

Nowadays, the US Navy has had to give this ability up, as the carriers
had to keep growing to deal with the growth in combat aircraft.  None of
the US Navy's modern aircraft carriers can use the Panama Canal.  They
can use the Suez, though, since that is a fully sea-level ditch with no
locks.

This is even more irrelevant than expected though, as 1940s battleships
are neither modern nor aircraft carriers.
