Shot Clock.. did new jersey have one.. I've seen a number of pictures over the years that showed a clock face somewhere near the bridge to note WHEN the fired main battery shells would land or how much time left to the next firing of the main guns.

Ryan's hair line is overdue a dry docking.

Any vessel with an engine running and someone on board is supposed to have running lights as far as I know, at least here in the Netherlands

The USCG regulations specify the running lights for powered vessels greater than 50 meters (328 feet). There shall be a aft facing white light of 135 degrees. Two green/red starboard/port running lights of 112.5 degrees. A white masthead light facing forward of 225 degrees and another white light above and aft of the forward light. The mast head lights give the captain of an approaching vessel an indication of the other vessels direction of movement. The masthead lights must be visible to 6 miles, and the others to 3 miles. Rule 22 and 23. For vessels less than 50 meters, there is a single masthead light. When at anchor, greater than 50 meters in length, there shall be an all-round light forward, an all-round light aft, and deck illumination as required. The light shields have nothing to do with the comfort of the crew in the gunnery tubs, but more to do with complying with the required angle of coverage of the running lights. There is a need to reduce any ambiguity when navigating the the dark. There are other lights that can be displayed for other situations and other vessels like submarines.

When in Material Condition I (General Quarters), Material Condition IA (Amphibious Operations) or Material Condition II (Wartime Steaming), then the navigation lights may be altered such as having a formation steaming light (think a North Atlantic Convoy).

Very cool information. I was glad to hear at the end what things might be like during wartime operations, because I know ships do not advertise their positions readily in the presence of enemies.

How about aircraft control lights on the fan tail does the ship have any

is there any records on what the ship had for deceptive lighting patterns?
