The Arizona is sentimentally considered by the Navy to be still in commission. The U.S. recently “mothballed” the last of the battlewagons, giving the Arizona the distinction of being the only battleship “in commission.” Over 1,102 navy men are still entombed in her hull, mute evidence the Japanese attack on December 7th, 1941. Only 289 men aboard the Arizona on the morning of the 7th survived.

Note “satellite” (string coil with wire hangers extended) on nose of “single stage” rocket. Then … “swoosh.” Rocket “took-off” good, “Laika” satillite rocket should. (What really happened? Rocket was removed by muscle crew and replaced by smoke bomb) Satellite is “orbiting” over Waikiki, supplying single men with valuable data. ( HANG photos by Gabe)Putting a “satellite” into “orbit” with, out a “service tower” isn’t easy, as members of the 199th FIS, Air National Guard will attest. With all the necessary electrical equipment for the “launching,” the “Vanga-poop-nick” didn’t get off the ground.
