We don’t like to talk about it but Biden wasn’t the first zombie POTUS.

“Fastest around-the-worpld signal” is a nonsense phrase. Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. I.e. they are a lower frequency version of visible light. The same exact thing. And light moves at a particular speed (300.000km/second or 186,000miles/second). Having larger and more powerful antennas DOES NOT speed up the radio waves lmao. The only thing that can alter the speed of light is if it is forced to move through a medium other than empty space. And in that case, it alters the speed DOWNWARD, not upward. The time it takes for a signal to travel around the world is the circumference of the earth divided by the speed of light. (If indeed it’s traveling the circumference exactly; it’s more likely that the signal is bouncing off of clouds etc.).

Maybe the record includes the time needed for the 'plain text' message to be both encoded for transmission, and decoded and printed or displayed as 'plain text' again. So rather than simply measuring the time it takes to for a discrete EMF signal to go from transmitter to receiver, (which is just light speed thing you mention), they measure the total time it takes to go from human readable on one end to human readable on the other. Totally just a guess on my part. Who knows what's meant when a casual description leaves out the total details of why they considered it a record??? 🙂

0:48 The retrofit started March 1962 to May 1963. The time JFK landed on the USS Wright had to occur between May 1963 and September 3rd 1963. Death of JFK happened November 22nd 1963. I dont believe the narrator meant to imply that JFK was alive in 1965, ONLY trying to set the stage or buildup of the story, which is confirmed at time-markers 4:38, 6:27, and 8:59. At 8:59, he mentioned that (after he mentioned both JFK and LBJ), that "the latter" (referring to LBJ NOT "the former" JFK) wrote a letter about the ship in 1966. He just needs a new script writer or editor.

I think you are probably mistaken about which ship you toured (or when you took the tour).

Sounds like a pretty risky idea, attempting to keep your country's leader safe on a ship out at sea during a (nuclear) world war. After all it's a sitting duck for submarines and long range missiles. Massive deep underground bunkers make for much better hideouts, you can store years worth of food, water and fuel in them if they're properly built and stocked, a ship on the other hand won't be able to sustain in the basic needs for more than a couple of months.

I expect the new nuclear powered carriers that began entering service in the late 60s and 70s (Enterprise and the Nimitz-class) were able to utilize newer technology and their massive size to provide all the space and communications facilities to more than replace Wright and Southampton. Not to mention that provided by the new amphibious assault ships, with their need for both space for operations staff, and command and control.

And realised that over 95% of it came from USA. When USSR did something like it, it was always for a specific reason. While USA had it set as STANDARD behaviour. This becomes horribly obvious if you start looking at submarine behaviour, and just how many collisions USA submarines caused during the cold war, because they were being carelessly aggressive or arrogantly provocative. Simple conclusion, if USSR had behaved even HALF as provocative as USA during the cold war, then WWIII would already be history. US commanders nearly always ASSUMED that they had the INHERENT RIGHT to act as complete maverick dikheads. They assumed that Soviet military did NOT have ANY rights at all to defend their nation, they were just supposed to meekly sit back and get killed or run away at the drop of a hat.
