Do you have a seachlight ?

1000 watts of paint peeling mega light, highly focused beam, WWII
military issue, quality.

Came off the signal barge manning the sub nets off New Orleans during
WWII.

The good news is that the people on the other boat will be three blind mice.
The bad news is that you won't be able to start your engine to avoid their
drifting hulk. :-)

Did you get the Molly Gear with it too?

That thing pales in comparison to my light. I have one of these large
puppies shown in the background:

I shined it right into the face of my cat at night. The cat was totally
stunned for 5 minutes.

Don't even know what Molly Gear is...What is it?

It's called Nancy Gear. Molly Gear is something classified.

INFRARED EQUIPMENT (NANCY GEAR)

Infrared equipment belongs to a family of devices that use electro-optics
for communication, surveillance, detection, and navigation. Also included
are image-intensifying night observation devices, low level television, and
lasers. Infrared equipment is designed to create, control, or detect
invisible infrared radiations. The equipment is of two types, transmitting
and receiving. The transmitting (source) equipment produces and directs
radiations. The receiving equipment detects and converts these radiations
into visible light for viewing purposes, or into voice or code signals for
audible presentation. Infrared devices can be used for weapon guidance,
detection of enemy equipment and personnel, navigation, recognition,
aircraft proximity warning, and communications. Depending on its
application, the equipment is either passive or active. The active method
uses both transmitting and receiving equipment, whereas the passive method
requires only receiving equipment.

The infrared spectrum, which extends from the upper limits of the radio
microwave region to the visible light region in the electromagnetic
spectrum, is divided into three bands: near infrared, intermediate or middle
infrared, and far infrared. Devices operating in the near and middle bands
are used for ranging, recognition, and communications. They normally have a
maximum usable range of 6.5 to 10 miles. Equipment that operates in the far
infrared band is used for ranging, missile guidance, and the detection and
location of personnel, tanks, ships, aircraft, etc. This equipment normally
has a maximum usable range of 12 miles. Perhaps the most widely used
infrared transmitting gear is the VS-18/SAT Infrared Hood, with filter lens.
It is mounted on the standard navy 12-inch searchlight (Figure 4.5-32). It
blocks most visible light so that the searchlight cannot be seen from a
distance. The light is operated in the same manner as an ordinary
communication searchlight. Design variations to the VS-18/SAT Hood are used
on nonmagnetic minesweepers with an 8-inch signal light, and hand signal
lamps.

It has some stuff on your lamp.



The light is not on my boat. If I leave it on too long it sets the teak on
fire. The cat burst into flames after a few minutes too. Can you light burn
the hair off of Ms Terry's nipples?

Joe, I'm ex-Navy myself too. I appreciate seeing the gear get used after it
is surplused.

I also have a Navy issue sea anchor, anchor windless, Pea Coat, Foul
Weather Gear, Chelsea Chronometer, Compass Binnacle, Case Bos'n chair
and knife, and a mint in the box Navy issue Colt 1911 pistol never
fired. If it's good enough for the US Navy, then it's good enough for
me.

Do you think the tomcats will be on the Govt surplus auction sites?
I bet John Travolta will buy one, he has a nice collection of planes.

Now you are making me jelious. If the 1911 was never fired, are you sure it
wasn't issued in the Italian/French Navy?

You need a Navy sextant.

They will wind up in museums. There is something about a US Navy jet flying
on the deck above Mach 1, I get goosebumps.
