So, tell me why three officers
would conspire to kill their captain
and cover it up.
That's what you're thinking, isn't it?
What if I am?
I can see I'm not the only one.
Loomis was up for a major citation.

Below (film)


Release date(s) October 11, 2002


Below is a 2002 World War II horror film directed by David Twohy. It was written by Lucas Sussman, Darren Aronofsky and David Twohy, and stars Bruce Greenwood


The USS Tiger Shark is a submarine on patrol in the Atlantic Ocean in 1943. The submarine is ordered to pick up survivors spotted adrift by a British PBY Catalina patrol plane.


It is revealed that three senior officers, Brice, Loomis and Coors, were responsible for the death of Captain Winters and that the British hospital ship was mistaken for a German ship and was sunk by the Tiger Shark. The three officers could not afford this blot on their records and conspired to suppress the story, killing Captain Winters as he tried to save the wounded in the ocean to make up for his and his crew's drastic mistake. This is discovered after Coors is mysteriously killed while working on the exterior of the sub, and Loomis drowns after trying to escape the boat while submerged, in a craze after seeing Winters' ghost on board.

After numerous accidents that completely cripple the boat, only five on board are still alive: Brice, Odell, Claire, Stumbo, and eccentric crewman Weird Wally. After the sub finally surfaces, Brice and Claire face each other down on the surface deck of the disabled submarine. Claire has spotted another ship in the area and tries to get its attention, but Brice holds her at gunpoint. His remorse over the accident overcomes him, and he shoots himself in the head, falling dead into the ocean. The four survivors are picked up by ship spotted by Claire, which turns out to be British. The Tiger Shark sinks away from the surface, coming to rest on the ocean floor next to the British hospital ship.

Nazi propaganda

Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.

2230 hours: Sight target
believed to be German sub tender.
Winters orders flank speed to close target
and gain a firing angle.
2315: Loomis checks target profile against I. D. log,
matching it to target, and I personally verify the match.
2320: Single torpedo fired from number-4 tube.
Heard the strike, followed by collapsing bulkheads.
2330 hours: To confirm sinking of German ship,
four officers go topside...
Commander Winters, myself, Lieutenant Loomis,
and Lieutenant J. G. Stephen Coors.
"Many bodies in the water. "
"Ship burning on the horizon. "
What are you doing in here?
Go.
A German ship...
of the type Brice said you sunk.
My ship... the Fort James hospital ship.
So what you're saying is...
that the submarine Kingsley saw...
the one he thought was German...
Wasn't.
So it was an accident?
Not when he left us in the water to die.
Not when he heard the cries for help in English.
You actually believe
that Captain Winters would just leave...
Help! Help me!
No.
Captain Winters wanted to pick up the survivors.
That means...
Help!
Who mis-I. D. 'd the ship?

This is almost a day behind us.
Well, who are they?
Americans? Brits? Italians?
It doesn't even say.
Well, I think we can assume they're friendly, Mr. Loomis.
Besides, it doesn't appear to be a suggestion, does it?

Columbia's Last Mission: THE AFTERMATH / `Debris field' widened in search efforts / Crews on land find at least 2 intact fuel cells

JIM HENDERSON, RACHEL GRAVES, JAMES KIMBERLY, DALELEZON Staff

TUE 02/04/2003

Houston Chronicle


LUFKIN - Finding the piece of debris that might give clues to why the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on re-entry has been described by one NASA official as like "looking for a needle in a haystack."

Monday, the haystack got bigger.

While lawmen and volunteers in several East Texas counties were beating the piney woods and lake shores for more remnants of Columbia, the size of the "debris field" was enlarged to take in a portion of West Texas and a longer stretch of Louisiana.

Authorities did report a major find Monday. A man found the shuttle's nose cone buried about six feet in the ground on his land just outside the town of Hemphill. The cone was said to be in good shape and searchers planned to excavate it today.

Most of the significant debris and body parts apparently have been found between Nacogdoches and the Sabine River, but some fragments may be found as far east as the New Orleans suburbs and west of the point over Dallas-Fort Worth where the shuttle began to disintegrate.

Lenny (1974)


The story of acerbic 1960s comic Lenny Bruce, whose groundbreaking, no-holds-barred style and social commentary was often deemed by the Establisment as too obscene for the public.


Dustin Hoffman ... Lenny Bruce


Release Date: 10 November 1974 (USA)





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenny_Bruce

Lenny Bruce

Leonard Alfred Schneider (October 13, 1925 – August 3, 1966), better known by the stage name Lenny Bruce, was a Jewish-American comedian


Bruce met his future wife, Honey Harlow, a stripper from Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951. They were married that same year, and Bruce was determined to have her end her work as a stripper. This desire resulted in Bruce pursuing schemes designed to make as much money as possible, the most notable of which was the Brother Mathias Foundation scam, which resulted in Bruce being arrested in Miami, Florida later that year for impersonating a priest. He had been soliciting donations for a leper colony in British Guiana (now Guyana) under the auspices of the "Brother Mathias Foundation", which he had legally chartered - the name was his own invention, but possibly referred to the actual Brother Matthias who had befriended Babe Ruth at the Baltimore orphanage to which Ruth had been confined as a child. Bruce had stolen several priests' clergy shirts and a clerical collar while posing as a laundry man. He was found not guilty because of the legality of the New York state-chartered foundation, the actual existence of the Guiana leper colony, and the inability of the local clergy to expose him as an impostor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Cross

Navy Cross

The Navy Cross is the highest decoration that may be bestowed by the Department of the Navy and the second highest decoration given for valor. It is normally only awarded to members of the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps and United States Coast Guard, but can be awarded to all branches of United States military as well as members of foreign militaries. It was established by Act of Congress (Pub.L. 65-253) and approved on February 4, 1919. The Navy Cross is equivalent to the Distinguished Service Cross (Army) and the Air Force Cross.










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_Officer_(United_States)#Marine_Corps

Warrant Officer (United States)

In the United States military, the rank of Warrant Officer (grade W-1 to W-5) is rated as an officer above the senior-most enlisted ranks, as well as officer cadets and candidates, but below the officer grade of O-1 (NATO: OF-1). Warrant officers are highly skilled, single-track specialty officers, and while the ranks are authorized by Congress, each branch of the Uniformed Services selects, manages, and utilizes warrant officers in slightly different ways.


The Marine Corps has had warranted officers since 1916 as technical specialists who perform duties that require extensive knowledge, training and experience with particular systems or equipment. Marine warrant officers would be selected from the ranks of non-commissioned officers and given additional training in leadership and management. In 1943, all Marine warrant officer ranks were aligned with the other services. They were Warrant Officer (W1) and Commissioned Warrant Officer (W2). The duties Marine warrant officers typically fulfill are those that would normally call for the authority of a commissioned officer, however, require an additional level of technical proficiency and practical experience that a commissioned officer would not have had the opportunity to achieve.

An enlisted Marine can apply for the warrant officer program after serving at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of E-5 (Sergeant) for the administrative warrant officer program or after serving at least sixteen years of enlisted service and reaching the grade of E-7 (Gunnery Sergeant) for the weapons warrant officer program. If the Marine NCO is selected, he or she is given additional leadership and management training during the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC), conducted at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia.

My co-worker, Frank, from the office at First Federal came over to help me move all my stuff into the truck. I got the largest truck they had and it was well too large for all my stuff. At one point as I was driving down the interstate, a truck driver pulled up beside me, honked his horn, and pointed to the back of my truck. I didn't know what he was talking about and I didn't stop. Then the trucker behind him did the same thing as he passed, so I stopped on the interstate and went back to see what they were talking about. At some point earlier, the brakes had locked up on the full trailer that I was towing my 1990 red Mazda RX-7 on and there was a lot of smoke coming from it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marshals_Service

United States Marshals Service

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is a United States federal law enforcement agency


The service assists with court security and prisoner transport, serves arrest warrants, and seeks fugitives.










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_police

Military police

Military police (MP) are police organisations connected with, or part of, the military of a state.


United States

Each branch of the military of the United States maintains its own military police force, except for the US Coast Guard which is its own law enforcement agency; the coast guard uses its shore patrol, Reserve Investigators, and members of the Coast Guard Investigative Service to regulate its own population. Here is a list of military police forces:

Military Police Corps/Office of the Provost Marshal General—United States Army

Provost Marshal's Office—United States Marine Corps

Masters-at-Arms branch (occasionally aided by temporary members of the Shore Patrol)—United States Navy

Air Force Security Forces (formerly called the Security Police and before that, the Air Police)—United States Air Force

U.S. Naval Security Forces (NSF)

Each service also maintains uniformed civilian police departments. They are referred to as Department of Defense Police (DoD Police). These police fall under each directorate they work for within the United States Department of Defense, for example: DoD Army or DoD Navy Police. The police officers' duties are similar to those of local civilian police officers. They enforce the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), federal and state laws, and the regulations of their particular installation.


Limitation of authority and jurisdiction

United States military police are prohibited from enacting state police powers and domestic peace officer powers under the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law passed in 1878. MPs may enforce certain limited powers, such as traffic stops, on access roads and other federal property not necessarily within the boundaries of their military base or installation. The only way MPs are allowed to enforce law and order outside of the military realm as stated above is when martial law is in effect. When combined, the Posse Comitatus Act and Insurrection Act place significant limits on presidential power to use the military in a law enforcement capacity. This allows the state more time to use their resources and authorities to the fullest extent, allowing for the possibility of military involvement only when their resources have been completely used up.










http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_duty_officer

Limited duty officer

A Limited Duty Officer (LDO) is an officer in the United States Navy or United States Marine Corps who was selected for commissioning based on his/her skill and expertise


They are employed in situations where it is desirable to have an officer with strong, specific technical knowledge and seasoned leadership. Per Title 10, US Code, an LDO is a permanent commissioned officer appointed under section 5589 in a permanent grade above chief warrant officer, W-5, and designated for limited duty.


LDOs perform similar tasks as those of the Warrant Officer (WO), but the formal definition differences are subtle and focus on the degree of authority and level of responsibility, as well as the breadth of required expertise. The term "Limited Duty" refers not to an LDO's authority, but rather the LDO's career progression and restrictions. Historically an LDO, prior to World War II, could only advance as far as lieutenant. Later an LDO could be promoted to commander and, in the Marine Corps, the senior LDO rank is Lieutenant Colonel. In the 1990s the ceiling in most U.S. Navy communities was raised to captain.


Command

Unlike their Unrestricted Line Officer (URL) brethren, most LDOs cannot aspire to command a major warship, combat aviation squadron, or auxiliary vessel, although for a select few in the right communities this is now a possibility. In the U.S. Marine Corps, some Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) permit LDOs to be commanding officers. Many LDOs have qualified for command ashore of certain shore activities, ranging from small activities such as Navy Operational Support Centers (formerly "Naval Reserve Centers") at the Lieutenant Commander and Commander level, to large activities such as the Naval Air Technical Training Center at the Captain level.[citation needed] In other words, LDOs may succeed to command activities which have a primary function corresponding to the MOS of the officer concerned.

LDOs will only be assigned to billets that are in their MOS and that are designated as LDO billets. LDOs may not be assigned to billets designated for unrestricted officers. This does not preclude an LDO from being assigned additional duties as deemed appropriate, including Joint duty.

In the U.S. Marine Corps, only warrant officers (WOs) can become LDOs. LDOs are experts and leaders in the MOS from which they came. LDOs are considered more the officer and less the technician than the WO. In the Marine Corps, WOs with less than 20 years of active duty service are eligible for the LDO program. This program is managed within the Recruiting Command because it is an accession board not a promotion board.

In the U.S. Navy, LDOs and WOs are former enlisted technicians (petty officers or chiefs). They are experts and leaders in the technical specialty enlisted rates from which they came. In the Navy, First Class Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officers in the Navy with less than 20 years of service are eligible for the LDO program, while chiefs with 16 or more years of service, senior chief and master chiefs usually are selected in the WO program.
