USS Princeton (CG 59)

I have wondered if Gene was my cover name for that Apollo 17 flight, considering a reference to Pink Floyd's "Point Me At The Sky." I also think this pose with the U.S. flag had something to do with my earlier experience as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam.

Nimitz CVN 68 - class

Ship's Name - Hull Number

1 - NIMITZ CVN 68

3 - CARL VINSON CVN 70
4 - THEODORE ROOSEVELT CVN 71
5 - ABRAHAM LINCOLN CVN 72

The lead ship of the Nimitz-class of aircraft carriers, the USS Nimitz CVN-68 was commissioned on 5/3/1975. I followed a hunch that the first 2 ships of the Nimitz-class were scheduled to represent my activities in the Vietnam War in 1968 and I found details that strongly support that theory. I assume this was done to represent that I was the first air combat ace of the Vietnam War on 6/19/1968 even though I was just 9.3 years old, as well as my Apollo flights, the outer solar system space flights, and my space shuttle flights.

I looked back 3 days, 359 weeks, from the 5/3/1975 commissioning of the USS Nimitz CVN-68 and then compared that with a mid-point calculation for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69.

From 6/12/1968 to 5/3/1975 is: 3 days, 359 weeks

From my 3/3/1959 birth to the 10/18/1977 commissioning of the CVN-69 puts 6/25/1968 at the mid-point.

From 3/3/1959 to 10/18/1977 is: 6804 days
6804 / 2 = 3402
From 3/3/1959 to 6/25/1968 is: 3402 days

Then I compared the 6/12/1968 date from the Nimitz calculation with the 6/25/1968 date from the Eisenhower calculation.

From 6/12/1968 (CVN-68) to 6/25/1968 (CVN-69) is: 13 days
13 / 2 = 6.5
From 6/12/1968 to 6/19/1968 is: 7 days

USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)

Commissioned: Dec. 9, 1995




The USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75 was commissioned on a date that connects Phoebe's birthday to 11/25/1986. I assume this was created to represent that I made it back to her that time and I was going to make it back to her again. It would be relevant to this current deployment because the ship was commissioned in 1998, which was when I underwent the medical treatment to suppress my real memories from conscious awareness. Those real memories were suppressed and deflected by artificial and symbolic memories.

From 3/3/1959 to 7/25/1998 is: 14389 days
From 7/16/1963 to 11/25/1986 is: 8533 days
8533 / 14389 = 0.593

http://www.navysite.de/cvn/cvn75.html

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75)

Commissioned: July 25, 1998

USS HARRY S. TRUMAN is the eighth NIMITZ - class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the first ship in the Navy to bear the name.


I think the '75' was selected for the hull number because I launched in 1975 on my mission to intercept the comet in the outer solar system.

I noted earlier some details about the 1998 movie "Armageddon" and the 1976 movie "Midway." The actor Bruce Willis portrays a character named "Harry S. Stamper" in "Armageddon" and is sent to destroy an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The birthday of Angelina Jolie - whom I believe is my daughter and was just a baby when I went on my real mission to the comet - and the actress who portrays the daughter of "Harry S. Stamper" forms an anchor with the premier date of the 1976 movie "Midway." I also noted earlier that "Midway" was around the mid-point of my mission to intercept the comet and the release date of the movie points to a 5-9-3 clue. The primary, I have been thinking, was because of the '41' of the USS Midway CV-41. In the movie "Armageddon," the boyfriend of "Harry S. Stamper's" daughter was named "A.J." The NASA administrator portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton in "Armageddon" was named "Truman."



I assume this commissioning date was selected for that '7' there in between the '33' and the '59' to represent good luck.

From 2/6/1911 to 7/12/2003 is: 33759 days

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76)

Commissioned: 12 July 2003

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), the ninth Nimitz-class supercarrier, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for President Ronald Reagan.





After examining the lead ships of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class of U.S. Navy guided-missile frigates. These details suggest I arranged the commissioning of the first two ships to point to the first 2 Medals Of Honor I received during the Vietnam War. I described similar notions with the ships of the U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. These dates were established in the time before I launched into space to intercept the comet and divert it from hitting the Earth. This was also after I became the first air combat ace of the Vietnam War, after all the Apollo missions and graduating from Princeton University and University of Oxford. There are other details that factored in that I do not describe here. In this schedule, I used my '3459,' '333,' and mid-point artistic devices.

This calculation determines the mid-point between my birth and the commissioning of the FFG-7:

From 3/3/1959 to 12/17/1977 is: 6864 days
6864 / 2 = 3432
From 3/3/1959 to 7/25/1968 is: 3432 days

That mid-point of my birth date and the FFG-7 commissioning was 36 days after 6/19/1968.

From 6/19/1968 to 7/25/1968 is: 36 days

Then I noted the period from 6/19/1968 to that mid-point for the FFG-7 commissioning.

From 6/28/1968 to 12/17/1977 is: 3459 days

From 6/19/1968 to 6/28/1968 is: 9 days
From 6/28/1968 to 7/25/1968 is: 27 days

9 / 27 = 0.333

3459 days before the commissioning of FFG-7 was a during the time period of 6/19/1968 and the mid-point I noted earlier. That day specifically formed a 0.333 relationship with 6/19/1968 and the mid-point. I have noted other occurrences of this device.

USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG 7)

Commissioned: December 17, 1977



The commissioning date of the 2nd ship of the FFG-7 class suggests to me it was scheduled to point to my 1st Medal of Honor on 6/19/1968 and my 2nd Medal of Honor on 4/10/1972.

From 6/19/1968 to 4/10/1972 is: 1391 days
From 6/19/1968 to 11/19/1979 is: 4170 days
1391 / 4170 = 0.333

USS McInerney (FFG 8)

Commissioned: November 19, 1979















The USS Taylor FFG-50 was commissioned 3 years, 33 weeks, after 4/14/1981. That is the date the first space shuttle flight returned to Earth and that I recognize as when I fell out of it after I got the landing gear fixed. I noted that that "Star Trek: Generations" premiere also connects to that space shuttle flight.

From 4/14/1981 to 12/1/1984 is: 3 years, 33 weeks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-14

Maiden flight 21 December 1970

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1972 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with LANTIRN.[2] It was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MiGs.

USS Princeton (CG 59)

Commissioned: February 11, 1989

About the Ship's Name, about the Battle of Princeton:

On January 3, 1776, the Battle of Princeton took place during the War of Independence. In the Battle of Trenton that took place on December 26, 1776, the troops under General George Washington defeated the British-Hessian troops. One week later the British under General Charles Cornwallis moved forward along the Delaware River against the troops of Washington. At the morning of January 3, 1777, Washington moved forward to Princeton where he beat a British department that wanted to move to Cornwallis. Cornwallis moved his troops to Brunswick, NJ. After the British defeat the American self-confidence increased.

USS Philippine Sea (CG 58)

USS PHILIPPINE SEA is the twelfth ship of the TICONDEROGA class and the second built by Bath Iron Works in Maine.

Commissioned: March 3, 1989




The precise mid-point of 3/3/1959 and the commissioning of the USS Russell DDG-59 is 4/10/1977. I recognize the date 4/14/1977 as when I returned to Earth after successfully diverting the comet in the outer solar system. I assume the U.S. Navy asked me if I wanted to schedule to commissioning date of the USS Russell DDG-59 and this was the result of my calculations.

Formation 1994
Type Association of UK universities
Location United Kingdom

The University of Oxford (usually abbreviated as Oxon. for post-nominals), located in the city of Oxford, England, is the oldest university in the English-speaking world.[3]

The University of Oxford is a member of the Russell Group of research-led British universities




This ship was commissioned on a Saturday as are all of those Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates I have examined. That commissioning date is as close as it could get to a day when I was 335.9 months old. It is only off by 2 days, which is within the day-of-week scheduling constraint.

From 3/3/1959 to 3/2/1987 is: 335 months, 27 days
27 / 30 = 0.9
From 3/3/1959 to 3/2/1987 is: 335.9 months

From 2/28/1987 (Saturday) to 3/2/1987 (Monday) is: 2 days

USS Kauffman (FFG 59)

Commissioned: February 28, 1987




This ship was commissioned on a date that was 15 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, after 4/14/1981. The date 4/14/1981 is when the space shuttle landed after its first launch into Earth's orbit and I believe I save the shuttle from crashing that day by repairing the landing gear at the last moment.

From 4/14/1981 to 2/8/1987 is: 15 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days

USS FALCON was the 9th ship in the OSPREY - class of coastal mine hunters.

Commissioned: February 8, 1997
Decommissioned: June 30, 2006




Of all the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers in the U.S. Navy I have examined, they are always commissioned into active service on a Saturday. The commissioning date of the USS Cole DDG-67 suggests to me I scheduled the commissioning date to represent the date 6/7/1976, which I recognize as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe.

That day-of-week scheduling constraint means you could be off by as much as 6 days from the target date. In this case, the result I expect to see is off by only 2 days, which is well within the constraint range.

From 3/3/1959 to 6/8/1996 (Saturday) is: 13612 days
13612 * 0.3459 = 4708
From 7/16/1963 to 6/7/1976 is: 4710 days

USS Cole (DDG 67)

Commissioned: June 8, 1996




The USS New Jersey BB-62 was re-commissioned on 12/28/1982, according to the following information I found on the internet. That was 3 days, 34 weeks, after 5/1/1982. I would expect that date to align with 4/30/1982, because that is the date I recognize as when I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. There might be a reason I don't remember yet. But I don't think it is a coinicidence that the New Jersey was the first of those battleships to be brought into active duty and because I recognize that I got my first college degree from Princeton University in New Jersey. It makes sense that this ship was re-commissioned to time with my graduation from another college.

From 5/1/1982 to 12/28/1982 is: 3 days, 34 weeks
