The Unusual Espionage Act Case Against a Drone Photographer
In seemingly the first case of its kind, the US Justice Department has charged a Chinese national with using a drone to photograph a Virginia shipyard where the US Navy was assembling nuclear submarines.
We're the official Mastodon page for the USS Albacore Museum!
The USS ALBACORE (AGSS 569) is an experimental #submarine built in 1953. Designed with an innovative teardrop hull form, she serves as the prototype for all modern-day submarines in the #USNavy. In 1986 she was dry-locked at #AlbacorePark and was officially opened to the public!
Come take a tour and visit our #museum, gift shop, and memorial garden dedicated to those lost at sea. We look forward to meeting you!

In 2014, I made a steampunk submarine costume for my son's wheelchair. When the chair was in motion, the pinwheel twirled, the wheel's design spiraled, and the periscope was retractable. Made entirely from cardboard and random stuff, including paper tubes, pill container lids, altoids tins, wallpaper, duct tape, and a clear plastic salad bowl rescued after a catered event. #wheelchair#disability#OpulentMobility#wheelchaircostume#submarine#cardboard#upcycling#steampunk
"No one is sure why, but in 1898 Rufus T. Owens of Central City, Colorado (elevation 9,000 feet) decided to build a submarine, which he named the Nautilus. He and a few friends launched it on nearby Missouri Lake. They ballasted it with three tons of rocks. Owens intended to captain the maiden voyage himself, but fortunately for him, the submarine sank before he had a chance to climb inside."
1/ Finnish government to make announcement on gas pipeline leak in Gulf of Finland.
According to Gasgrid Finland, the only possible reason for the unusual pressure drop in the Balticconnector pipeline is a hole in the pipe, which has only been in use for a few years.
Personal note: I'm assuming that the fact that there's a need for an announcement, is an indication of sabotage being suspected.
In 2017, Donald Trump divulged classified intelligence including intel on Israel to Sergei Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak during a meeting at The White House
Also see this about a similar ⭕leak in 1943 #ww2 by a guy similar to Trump (US House Rep)
The US #navy subs could dive to 100 FEET (not the video in post), says 100m, THAT IS NOT CORRECT)

I left my #submarine in 1992 and there are things I still won't tell people about missions, operational parameters, etc.
Yet this chucklefuck just goes about disclosing national security details to a foreign national because he's a blowhard and a narcissist. He doesn't give a damn about the safety of our #military. He is completely unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief.
Officially, #China has denied the incident took place. It also appears #Beijing refused to request international assistance for its stricken #submarine
ICYMI: As #RishiSunak rows back from the UK's #NetZero commitments, while pretending he's not... and Barrow (#Cumbria) celebrates new investments in #submarine production by the Govt. (via BAE systems), I ponder for @NWBylines whether the #Tories 'Military Keynesianism' is the best bet for the UK, or whether really we should be investing much more in the #GreenTransiton.

Mysterious ‘skin-like’ golden orb found on #ocean floor off Alaska coast
Scientists analysing DNA of object that could be an egg from an unknown #SeaCreature or a #MarineSponge
A mysterious golden orb that may be an egg laid by an unknown sea creature has been discovered on the ocean floor off the #Pacific coast of Alaska.
The smooth object with an intriguing hole at the centre was found at a depth of about two miles by a remote-controlled #submarine explorer.
Another image using the "step" term I mentioned yesterday, in this case its title being "2-Step Space Station Rocket" from 1952. It's an illustration by Jack Coggins for a book co-written with Fletcher Pratt. Both straddled the line between illustrating/writing for science and science fiction. Coggins in particular did covers for Galaxy, F&SF, and Thrilling Wonder.
He was also into other bleeding-edge forms of transportation, as shown in the second pic.
