US Navy unveils sea-based laser weapon that will be deployed to Persian Gulf - Apr 2013

US Navy unveils sea-based laser weapon that will be deployed to Persian Gulf - Apr 2013
The U.S. Navy has unveiled a ship-mounted infrared laser weapon that can bring down drones and disable other ships.
The Navy said it intends to deploy the weapon to the Persian Gulf area in 2014 in what some are saying is a response to Iran's development of drones.
Officials say the Laser Weapons System (LaWS) provides ships a method to easily defeat small boat threats and aerial targets without using bullets, and the associated expense of ammunition.
LaWS shoots high-powered infrared laser at the target and "operates much like a blowtorch ... with an unlimited magazine," a Navy official told FOXNews.com.
A video demonstration released Monday (8 April) http://bit.ly/10Pvoyk shows LaWS striking and bring down a remote-controlled target aircraft.

Australian Navy transport new battleship using one of the superships of Dockwise - Aug 2012

You Floated My Battleship! The Superships That Carry Superloads
When the weighty problem of transporting superloads around the world arises, a bulky breed of superships are ready to take up the challenge.
But rather than standard cargo containers, these vessels are capable of floating unimaginable loads including full oil rigs, multiple nuclear-powered submarines and, in one epic voyage, 18 barges from China to the Netherlands.
Currently, the Australian Navy are employing the services of Netherlands-based shipping company Dockwise's MV Blue Marlin, the largest cargo transport ship in the world.
The ship is transporting the first of two aircraft carrier hulls from Spain to Melbourne.
The Australian Landing Helicopter Dock (ALHD) Canberra is the first to commence the 12,000 nautical mile voyage around the Cape of Good Hope, estimated to be completed in 45 days after setting off on 20 August from Punta Langosteira, a new large port just south of La Coruna, northern Spain.
Spanish company Navantia has completed construction of the ships from the keel to the flight deck, and now the hulls are being transported for completion by BAE Systems Australia. The second hull, the ALHD Adelaide, will be transported in early 2014.
Blue Marlin is more than up to the task, being 712ft in length, larger than two football pitches, 138ft deep and able to carry 75,000 tonnes. That said, the ALHD Canberra is so large it overhangs the Blue Marlin deck by 180ft.
Blue Marlin's load capability also meant it was the ship of choice for the U.S. Navy when they had to transport the stricken destroyer USS Cole back to the United States after the warship was damaged by an Al-Qaeda suicide bomber attack while anchored in the port of Aden, Yemen.
The Blue Marlin is manned by a 24 crew and is powered by 17,000 horsep...

Underwater fluorescent photographs by Alex Mustard - 19 Aug 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Alex Mustard/Solent News / Rex Features (1448620a)
Underwater Electric Light Show
These underwater corals look stunning as they emit a fluorescent glow of green, orange and purple.
The colours radiate from the coral in the same way a UV light bounces off bright clothing in a nightclub.
British photographer Alex Mustard, 36, snapped the glowing corals, worms, anemone and crabs while diving in the Red Sea and the Caribbean.
He took the pictures at night and used a standard camera fitted with a blue flash, which triggers the fluorescent reaction.
The exact reason why the corals fluoresce is a mystery but it is thought the fluorescent pigment acts like a sun screen.
Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "The Red Sea and the Caribbean both have healthy and rich coral reefs.
"For these types of images you want to photograph where there are lots of species of corals as some glow with fluorescence and some do not.
"What is amazing is that you don't know what you will get until you see the pictures.
"Some corals glow strongly, while others do not.
"It is only when you take the picture and the blue flashes go off that you know if the coral is a performer.
"The pictures are taken with a normal camera and the colours are those that the camera recorded. They are not adjusted on a computer.
"I fitted filters to my flashes so they produce only deep blue light.
"This excites the fluorescence response in the corals, which then give out the greens, oranges and yellows you see in the images.
"The effect is the same as when bright colours in your clothes show up under the UV light in a disco or nightclub."
He added: "Corals are important creatures, which build the reefs that support whole ecosystems.
"They are under threat from rising sea temperatures and increasingly acidic seas.
"But they are not always the most e...

A Royal Navy warship that was made from plastic rather than metal to avoid triggering mines set sail to the Gulf from its base at Faslane Naval Base.
HMS Ramsey was made from glass-reinforced plastic so can get near mines where other Navy ships cannot.
The 600-tonne Sandown class minehunter is used to clear safe passages as it does not send out the signals that metal vessels do.
It is heading east of the Suez Canal, where it will stay for four years.

A Louisiana Blue heron fishes in a 'closed fishing area' just outside Barataria Bay in South Louisiana. The ecological and economic impact are devastating to south louisiana. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fetile of their kind in the world. Photo Credit: Charlie Varley / SIPA Press/bpoilspill.009/1005311547 (FOTO: DUKAS/SIPA)

The Underwater World Of The Sea Of Cortez
Welcome to the beautiful underwater world of the Sea of Cortez.
Also known as the Gulf of California, this body of water separates the Baja California Peninsula from the Mexican mainland.
Dedicated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Gulf is thought to be around five million years old.
The narrow stretch is home to nearly 900 species of fish and the widest variety of whales and dolphins found anywhere on Earth.
Often referred to as the 'Mexican Galapagos', its islands are important nesting sites for thousands of seabirds.
Its waters are a primary breeding, feeding, and nursing grounds for a myriad of migratory and resident fish species.
For example, the critically endangered Vaquita Marina calls the gulf home, while the Humpback Whale, Blue Whales and Leatherback Sea Turtle all pass through at some point.
Meanwhile, large colonies of Californian sea lions can be found at the island of Los Islotes.
Scientific investigation has discovered that these sea lions have adapted their normal feeding habits and now feed on the type of deep water fish that many sea lions would not ordinarily hunt for.
It is this diversity that led Jacques Cousteau to describe the Gulf as "the world's aquarium" and which makes it an important area of study for scientists today.
Unsurprisingly, the region is also a magnet for diving and fishing enthusiasts from across the world and is known as one of the best spots in the world for whale watching.
An estimated 1.7 million tourists visit the Gulf every year to enjoy its beaches, scuba dive and sport fishing.
