United States Navy
Princeton VI (CG-59)
1989-
Princeton, Capt. Hontz in command, and with two SH-60B Seahawks of Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron Light (HSL) 47 Detachment 8, Lt. Cmdr. Jon Berg-Johnsen officer-in-charge, embarked, deployed (8 December 1990-8 June 1991) for Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm. She sailed through the Strait of Hormuz into the Arabian Gulf on 13 January 1991. At 0130 on 17 January, nine ships in the Mediterranean, Arabian Gulf, and Red Sea fired the first of 122 BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles at preprogrammed Iraqi targets. Those battles marked the first combat launch of the Tomahawks. Meanwhile, aircraft carriers America (CV-66), John F. Kennedy (CV-67), and Saratoga (CV-60) sailing in the Red Sea, Midway and Ranger in the Arabian Gulf, and Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) en route to the Gulf, launched 228 combat sorties. Princeton supported Midway and Ranger, and then (29 January) joined in the crescendo of bombardment and fired three Tomahawks at Iraqi military targets from her operating area in the central Arabian Gulf. In addition, she coordinated a total of 11 aerial attacks that resulted in sinking six Iraqi naval vessels.
The Iraqis mined the coastal waters of the western Arabian Gulf and Princeton accordingly took preventive measures: her crew drilled in damage control and combat systems damage recovery techniques using the Navy’s Shock Trial Program, and secured missile hazards. The coalition tentatively identified one crescent-shaped minefield that prevented them from launching amphibious landings against the Iraqi left flank, and the allies consequently began sweeping an approach lane to “Point Echo” (29°7'N, 48°53'15"E) about 30 miles off the Kuwaiti coast.
On the night of 17 February 1991, Capt. Peter Bulkeley, Commander Destroyer Squadron 22, received an intelligence report indicating that the Iraqis had deployed a Silkworm surface-to-surface missile battery along the Kuwaiti coast within range of the allied minesweepers and minehunters. The ships came about to open the range, and Bulkeley ordered Princeton, that operated as the local antiair warfare commander for the minesweeping and naval gunfire support ships, to protect them. The cruiser refueled from British Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA)-manned fast fleet tanker Olna (A.123) in the ad-Dorra oilfield, then sailed westward at high speed to intersperse herself directly between the reported Silkworm battery and the coalition ships. “In that position,” Hontz reported, “we would be able to shoot down any Silkworm missile fired at the minesweepers.”
During the mid watch on 18 February 1991, the allies resumed sweeping operations at 0240, but at 0435 a mine damaged the forward section of amphibious assault ship Tripoli (LPH-10), the flagship of the ’sweeping operations in the northern Arabian Gulf. Her crewmen, however, contained the flooding and the ship continued fighting for five days before sailing to a dry dock at Bahrain, where she completed repairs. Although Tripoli suffered no fatalities, four men sustained injuries.
Princeton, meanwhile, steamed east of Kuwait City. “The ship was…barely maintaining steerageway,” Hontz recalled, “in order to allow maximum reaction time if a mine was spotted.” The ship did not proceed at Battle Stations but her sailors manned both 5-inch guns and enabled the missiles. At 0715, the captain instructed his crew to be especially vigilant, but a Manta mine detonated a minute later beneath Princeton’s stern on the port side. The explosion sent shockwaves radiating along the ship’s keel, throwing the aft lookout into the water and the forward lookout 10 feet into the air. The ship’s historian reported that she “whiplashed along the longitudinal axis, much like a fiberglass fishing pole, with the bow and stern receiving the most motion.” The blast pushed the quarterdeck upward, bending and snapping I-beams that helped the cruiser’s structural integrity and ripping through high-tensile steel deck plating. Within several seconds, the shock waves triggered a second mine that exploded about 350 yards off the ship’s starboard bow, the blast inflicting a side-to-side motion on the hull that nearly split Princeton in half and tossed men about for seven seconds.
The explosions and concussion ruptured internal fuel tanks as well as the stern fire main, located near Frame 472, pouring water onto No. 3 Electrical Distribution Switchboard, dousing the board and causing a fire and shock hazard, and damaged the rudder and propeller shaft. The ship sounded General Quarters, and her damage control parties fought the spilling fuel while working in pools of the volatile liquid and filthy water. Automatic sprinklers in the vicinity of Mount 52 (the aft gun) activated but added to the flooding. Crewmen nonetheless contained the flooding and fires within two hours, pumping the water overboard, patching and shoring the leaking fuel tanks, and gradually bringing her radars and combat systems back online. Most of the crew were in the least vulnerable center area of the ship, that reduced the casualties, but the explosions injured three sailors seriously enough to warrant their being evacuated to British RFA-manned aviation training ship Argus (A.135), that operated as a primary casualty receiving ship.
Shortly after the mines detonated, ocean minesweeper Adroit (MSO-509) cautiously threaded her way through the minefield, identifying a number of mines in the process, while she led salvage tug Beaufort (ATS-2) to the stricken cruiser. Divers from Beaufort inspected Princeton’s hull and determined that she would stay afloat, but the cruiser drifted with the current. “It quickly became apparent,” her historian tersely summarized their plight, “that the three ships were in the middle of a minefield.”
Adroit searched the area of the drift for mines, while Princeton’s after steering team restored the starboard rudder, using innovative techniques to bring the jammed port rudder to a centerline position. The ship proceeded under her own power on a single shaft, but Beaufort took her under tow to eastward to avoid additional mines. Adroit discovered so many mines that she ran out of flares and began to mark them with chemical-lights. Princeton’s exhausted crewmen manned their Battle Stations until Beaufort towed their ship clear the following day.
In retrospect, while the Iraqis failed to properly defend their minefield with aircraft and missiles, the allies had blundered into harm’s way. Battleship Missouri (BB-63), meanwhile, turned away from the minefield barely 3,000 yards before she entered the danger zone. Sikorsky MH-53E Sea Dragons swept limited channels through Iraqi mines while in the Arabian Gulf, but the helicopters moved more rapidly than ships and accordingly covered more water.
Guided missile cruiser Valley Forge (CG-50) relieved Princeton as the local antiair warfare commander on 19 February 1991.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A Look Back: 25 Years Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall
On November 9, 1989, after serving as the symbol of the Cold War for decades, the Berlin Wall fell. Its demise signaled the dawn of change not only in Eastern Europe, but the world.
The Berlin Wall started as a barbed wire fence built by the communist East German state (with approval from the Soviet Union) to stop the flow of refugees from East Berlin into West Berlin. For years, the CIA had predicted the East German government would take stern measures to stop border crossers but did not have tactical forewarning that a barrier would be put up starting on August 13, 1961. Stretching 96 miles long, the fence eventually evolved into the now familiar 12 foot high concrete wall, built in 45,000 separate sections, each four feet wide.
The Berlin Wall divided East Berlin and West Berlin for 28 years, from 1961 until November 1989. Typical for totalitarian states, the East German government declared the Wall to be a necessary defense against Western aggression. In reality, the Wall was intended to stop East Germans from seeking freedom in the West. In 1962, a second barrier was placed 100 yards back, creating a no-man’s land, widely known as the “death strip,” useless for defense against the West but clearly intended to prevent escape. It was booby-trapped with tripwires, offered no cover, and provided a clear field of fire to the watching guards. Even so, some 5,000 East Berliners escaped into the western half of the city. Tragically, an estimated 200 people died trying. Although the East German government always denied having a “shoot to kill” policy, the border guards were told to treat attempted defectors—even women and children—as criminals and stop them by whatever means necessary.
The Wall proved a propaganda disaster for the Soviet bloc as a whole. It became a powerful symbol of communist tyranny that Western leaders, starting with President John F. Kennedy, frequently denounced. In 1987, Ronald Reagan gave his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, at which he challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”
Two years later, during the summer of 1989, communist Hungary removed its border restrictions with Austria, and in September, more than 13,000 East German tourists in Hungary escaped to Austria. Demonstrations broke out all over East Germany. The long-time leader of East Germany, Erich Honecker, who in January had predicted that the Berlin Wall would stand for “a hundred more years,” resigned on October 18, replaced by Egon Krenz. By November 4, 1989, the protests had increased significantly, with a million people gathered that day in Alexanderplatz in East Berlin. Meanwhile, the wave of refugees leaving East Germany for the West had increased through Czechoslovakia, tolerated by the new Krenz government and the communist regime in Prague.
To ease the complications, the Krenz government decided on November 9, 1989, to allow refugees and even private travelers to exit directly through crossing points between East Germany and West Germany, including West Berlin. The new regulations were to take effect the next day, on November 10, to allow time to inform the border guards. However, no one told the East German government spokesman, who had not been briefed on the situation but simply had been handed a note to announce that East Berliners would be allowed to cross the border with proper permission. He read the note aloud at the end of the conference and, when asked when the regulations would come into effect, he replied, “As far as I know, effective immediately, without delay.” Nobody, including the East German government, knew that on November 9, 1989, the Wall would start coming down.
Tens of thousands of East Berliners heard the spokesman’s statement live on East German television and soon flooded the checkpoints in the Wall, demanding entry into West Berlin. The surprised and overwhelmed border guards tried to call their superiors, but no East German official was willing to take personal responsibility for issuing orders to use lethal force. Faced with the swelling crowd, the guards finally yielded, opening the checkpoints and allowing people through with little or no identity checking. Ecstatic East Berliners were soon greeted by West Berliners on the other side in a celebration of freedom and reunion. As a result, November 9 is considered the date the Wall fell.
In the days and weeks that followed, people came to the Wall with sledgehammers to chip off souvenir pieces. The first concrete section of the Wall was removed on the 12th. By June 13, 1990 the wall was officially dismantled, and on October 3, 1990 East and West Germany were reunified. The collapse of the Soviet Union would soon follow.
While it is often repeated by some that the CIA and the US Intelligence Community (IC) missed the fall of the Soviet Union, assessments from the time tell a different story. With the demise of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet system in crisis, the CIA in 1989 assessed the Soviet Union under Gorbachev would not survive. In 1990, the IC released a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), in which it stated, “the Soviet Union as we have known it is finished.(PDF)” (The NIE is an assessment by as many as 17 government agencies and departments regarding a national, regional or transnational issue of high importance, such as the Soviet Union, and is normally briefed to the President and other very senior officials). By the spring of 1991, the CIA warned of a future coup against Gorbachev, how it would take place, and the likelihood of the Soviet Union’s collapse—all accurate predictions of what happened soon after. On December 25, 1991, Gorbachev resigned and the Soviet Union ceased to exist

49 - Letter to Michael Williams on Religious Tolerance.
March 30, 1937
My dear Mr. Williams:
The lesson of religious toleration—a toleration which recognizes complete liberty of human thought, liberty of human conscience—is one which, by precept and example, must be inculcated in the hearts and minds of all Americans if the institutions of our democracy are to be maintained and perpetuated.
We must recognize the fundamental rights of man. There can be no true national life in our democracy unless we give unqualified recognition to freedom of religious worship and freedom of education. We have not forgotten, nor ever shall forget, the noble service in the cause of religious toleration rendered by the Calverts in Maryland three centuries ago. It gives me pleasure, therefore, to learn that The Commonweal, organ of the Calvert Associates, has arranged to celebrate in St. Patrick's Cathedral next Monday the three hundred third anniversary of the founding of Maryland, and Maryland's part in the establishment of religious liberty in America.
I have learned also with peculiar satisfaction that The Commonweal believes that rarely before in our history have prospects for achieving permanent harmony among the various elements composing our Nation been so propitious as at the present time. I rejoice in this assurance. I pledge myself at this solemn commemoration, with all the resources at my command, to work for so happy a consummation. My prayer shall ever be that this Nation, under God, may vindicate through all coming time the sanctity of the right of all within our borders to the free exercise of religion according to the dictates of conscience.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Michael Williams,
The Calvert Associates,
New York, N. Y.

Bible-thumpers are definitely *not* going to read this note.
As soon as they get the slightest glimmer of my rational, well thought out explanation for why they are cowardly terrified of mortality, then they just tune out. They're junkies addicted to a ridiculous fantasy.
I am definitely not talking in person to potentially psychotic persons about mortality.
And all bible-thumpers are potentially psychotic.
That's why they're bible-thumpers.
The real world is terrifying to them and they are on the borderline of hysteria.

Radio Address to the Nation on Prayer in Schools
February 25, 1984
My fellow Americans:
From the early days of the colonies, prayer in school was practiced and revered as an important tradition. Indeed, for nearly 200 years of our nation's history, it was considered a natural expression of our religious freedom. But in 1962 the Supreme Court handed down a controversial decision prohibiting prayer in public schools.
Sometimes I can't help but feel the first amendment is being turned on its head. Because ask yourselves: Can it really be true that the first amendment can permit Nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen to march on public property, advocate the extermination of people of the Jewish faith and the subjugation of blacks, while the same amendment forbids our children from saying a prayer in school?
When a group of students at the Guilderland High School in Albany, New York, sought to use an empty classroom for voluntary prayer meetings, the 2d Circuit of Appeals said, "No." The court thought it might be dangerous because students might be coerced into praying if they saw the football captain or student body president participating in prayer meetings.
Then there was the case of the kindergarten class reciting a verse before their milk and cookies.

Superstition
How Skinner's pigeon experiment revealed signs of superstition in pigeons.
"They may seem unlikely candidates for psychological analysis, but pigeons have given a revealing insight into how animals, including humans, can be bound by superstition..."
The Superstition Experiment
In the Summer of 1947, renowned behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner published his study on a group of pigeons that showed even animals are susceptible to the human condition that is superstition.
Skinner conducted his research on a group of hungry pigeons whose body weights had been reduced to 75% of their normal weight when well-fed. For a few minutes each day, a mechanism fed the birds at regular intervals. What observers of the pigeons found showed the birds developing superstitious behavior, believing that by acting in a particular way, or committing a certain action, food would arrive.

Hey Rudy,
I found several credited to you on this website:

The one that caught my attention is listed below, along with the caption on the photo. Can you confirm that the cruiser in the background is actually the Jouett?. I magnified the image and I am quite certain the number on the hull is a '28' and not a '29.' There is a little shadow on the second number that indicates to me that it has the closed lower loop of an eight and a nine wouldn't have that shadow. Or more properly, it is the painted on shadow that produces the effect of raised numbers.
I was on the Wainwright during the 1988 Persian Gulf deployment as an FC2 and I thought this might be a good artifact to add to the Wainwright Veteran Association.

Thanks for the info Rudy. Yeah, it was one hell of a ride on the Wainwright after that. We had stopped in Bahrain earlier, but we didn't touch ground again until a liberty port on our way back to Charleston. We stopped at Palma Mallorca and it was quite the extreme, going from Bahrain to the topless beaches of Palma. I was certainly also glad to see Charleston again.

Captain KIRK: Remarkably effective for a device that Doctor Adams was going to abandon.
NOEL: I think we should try this again.
KIRK: Yes. Pick something unusual, an unusual suggestion, something we can both be sure of.
NOEL: (light turns) At the Christmas party, we met, we danced, you talked about the stars. I suggest now that it happened in a different way. You swept me off my feet and carried me to your cabin.
[Kirk's quarters]
KIRK: Merry Christmas.
NOEL: Captain, if your crew saw you carry me here.
KIRK: My crew is sworn to secrecy.

Mrs. Hopkins: You never really knew Bobby, not really. He had genuine character. Always held high grades in college. Never got himself into trouble. He could've had a commission, but he turned it down... enlisted, because he thought that was the right thing to do. Did you ever know that?
Ralph Hopkins: Well, of course, darling. He wasn't a complete stranger to me. I just had lunch with a young man who reminded me of him. Same eyes and mouth. Same kind of smile.
Mrs. Hopkins: She's your daughter too... and you've got to give her at least the same time and thought and attention that you give to a business proposition, a new station or... or one of your Sunday night programs.
Ralph Hopkins: I'll do everything I can, dear.

Captain KIRK (on intercom): You're gonna have to do your own dirty work now. Do you hear me? Do you?
KHAN: Kirk! Kirk, you are still alive... my old friend.
[Regula I cavern]
KIRK: Still, 'old friend'. You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target.
[Reliant bridge]
KHAN: Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral.
[Reliant bridge]
DAVID: No! ...He can't take it!
KIRK: Khan! Khan, you have Genesis, but you don't have me!
[Reliant bridge]
KIRK (on intercom): You were going to kill me, Khan. You're going to have to come down here! You're going to have to come down here!
KHAN: I've done far worse than kill you, ...I've hurt you. And I wish to go on ...hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me. As you left her. Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, ...buried alive. Buried alive!
[Regula I cavern]
KIRK: Khan! Kahn!
