Kopp nemhuri yake vanogara mu King's Bay, Ga., Nzvimbo yakakodzera yekurera mhuri yevarume makumi masere nemakumi mashanu nemari yakaderera yekurarama uye tsika dzekugara kwakagamuchirwa kumaodzanyemba.
Asi, kusiyana nemhuri dzakawanda, chii chinosunga varume ava pamwe kwete zita ravo rekupedzisira. Mushure mezvose, mumwe nomumwe wehama dzaKopp anobva kune imwe yakasiyana yevabereki. Aiwa, chii chinoita kuti varume ava vanun'una ndizvo zvavanoti musha - chikepe chinosvika 560-refu-refu isina mahwindo, pasina fantail, uye kana paine mhirizhonga-hapana nyore kupukunyuka.
Idzi hama idzi dzinofamba netsoka.
"Kusiyana kwekukuvara kwekutengesa mafilosofi pakati pedu uye ngarava yepamusoro ndeyokuti kana tikatanga kunyura nekuda kwekukuvara, hakuna nzvimbo yokutiza," akadaro Chief Electronics Technician (SS) William Murtha, USS Maine's (SSBN 741) Blue Crew 3M uye drill simulator coordinator. "Hatigoni kumhanyira kune zvikepe zvoupenyu, kusiya chikepe kana parachute kubva pandiza kuti usapinda moto, mafashamo kana kuti zvinokanganisa kushandiswa kwemagetsi."
Ngarava yega yega inodzidza kuti mazana emakumbo emvura ari pamusoro pegungwa anogona kuitei kune gungwa remvura kana yakawana nzira yayo kupinda muchikepe. Vanoziva kuti moto chero upi zvake muvhara yesimbi yakavhara inogona kuzadza chikepe nehusi mumaminitsi gumi; kana kuti chigadziro chemvura yegungwa, chaireva kubatsira kubhururuka kwayo kusinganzwisisiki mumvura, kana rakatarisana nemoto, inoshandura chikepe ichiita sevhisi yakakura yevheni.
Asi vanoenda kugungwa chero zvakadaro, vachifamba pasi pegungwa rejasi.
Vanhu vazhinji, vazhinji veSailors vanobatanidzwa, vanofunga kuti vanopenga. Asi semhuri chero ipi zvayo, kana pasina mumwe munhu anovanzwisisa, vanonzwisisana.
"Kuti uve segungwa remvura unofanira kunge wakasiyana," akadaro Murtha. "Zvinotora pfungwa dzakasiyana-siyana kugadzirisa kusarudzwa nevanhu, zuva, uye mweya mutsva chero bedzi isu tiri.
Vanhu vazhinji havakwanise kubata pfungwa yekuve pasi pemvura, asi vafambisi vezvikepe havambofi vachifunga nezvazvo. Tinoedza kuudza vanhu kuti kudimburirwa pamamita mazana mana kwakafanana nekugara pamubhedha wako muimba yekuraramo, asi ndinofungidzira kuti havakwanisi kutora mvura yakawanda pamusoro pemisoro yavo. "
Mashoko aMurtha anotora nzira yakareba pakunzwisisa nei chikepe chegungwa chamakungwa chichirongwa, imwe chete uye inongopinda mu "Dolphin" -kupa hama, yakagara ichifanira.
"Kuwana yako Dolphins ndiko kunoreva kune vamwe vashandi zvaunogona uye vachavimbwa nehupenyu hwedu," akadaro Electronics Technician 2nd Class (SS) Joseph Brugeman. "Ndinoziva munhu wose ari oga, uye iyo yero yekuziva inondibvumira kuvimba navo mumamiriro ekukuvara. Handikwanisi kufungidzira kuvimba noupenyu hwangu uye hupenyu hwechikepe nemunhu wandakanga ndisingazivi. Kana iwe uri pachikepe changu uye iwe uchipfekedza maDonphins, zvino ndinovimba newe, nguva. Handina hanya kana iwe uri yeoman, kubika, technician technician kana mechanic - Ndinoziva kuti une musana wangu. Izvo hazviwanzovizve zvepedyo kupfuura izvozvo. "
Apo Sailor mutsva anorondedzera achipinda mune imwe gungwa uye achiwana kadhi rezvombo zvegungwa remakungwa echikepe, achawana zvigaro zvepneumatics, hydraulics, sonar uye kunyange zvombo zvombo.
Izvo zvaasingawani chero zvinyorwa zvayo ndeyecho chinhu chaicho chinopfeka maDonphins chinenge chine chokuita-kuvimba. Asi kana iwe uchivapfekedza, kuvimba ndicho chimwe chinhu icho ruzivo uye ruzivo rwehutano harungagoni kuenzanisa.
"Kupfeka maDonphin zvinoreva zvakawanda kupfuura kungoziva kugadzira zvese zvemasikirwo emagetsi, magetsi, magetsi nemhepo," akadaro Culinary Specialist 3rd Class (SS) Jeff Smith, weBlue Crew usiku wekwabiki. "Zvinoreva zvinopfuura kungokwanisa kutsanangura kuti donhwe remvura yegungwa kunze kwechikepe rinoita kuti rive mukombe wako mu galley. Aiwa, kupfeka maDonphin zvinoreva kuti vashandi vanokuvimba kuti uzive nzira yekuchengetedza chikepe pasinei nekuparara, uye pasinei nehuwandu hwehutano hwako. Kuwana chivimbo ichocho kunokuita iwe kupfuura unyanzvi weZvikepe, zvinokuita iwe nhengo yemhuri yemugungwa. "
Kuva nemubiki wehupi pamusoro pezvinhu zvekugadzirisa kukanganisa hazvirevi hazvo mutsara wezvasarudzwa pane zvikepe zvakawanda zveNavy, asi pamagwendima, kupfeka maDonphins ndizvo zvose zvinokosha.
"Pachikepe changu," akadaro CDR Robert Palisin, Maine Blue Crew, mukuru wevakuru vakuru, "munhu wose anotarisirwa kuziva kuponesa chikepe. Isu hatina kusarura zvichibva pane izvo zviyero zvako kana kunyange nzvimbo yako. Vabiki vangu vanofanirwa uye vanoziva kurwisa moto muimba yejini, sekufanana nemichina yangu yakagadziriswa nyukliya inotarisirwa kuziva nzira yekuparadzanisa simba rine simba kana utsi hubva kune sonar shack. Munhu wese ari mune gungwa remvura ndiyo yekuparadza kukanganisa chikamu - munhu wose. "
Palisin akanga akangwarira kutsanangura kuti kutadza kwekukuvadza kunopfuura kungoziva zvingaita kana chimwe chakaipa chikaitika. Kuve nekuvimba zvakakwana muzivo yako yezvirongwa zvegwagwa kuti utaure kana umwe munhu pane vashandi ari kuda kuita kukanganisa kunokanganisa kuchengetedzwa kwemakumbo.
"Mufambasi yemakungwa, tinosimbisa kuve yakarurama kudarika zvinogona kuitwa neSailor, nokuti munhu wese ari mumugwagwa unotarisirwa kunge ari kubatsiri kune uyo anofambisa ngarava," akadaro Palisin. "Kunyange ini, semukuru wechikepe ichi, ndakatarisira kuti mudiki mukuru wechikepe anokwira kumusoro uye pasi achidanidzira musoro wake kana ndikaita chikanganiso chakaisa pangozi chikepe. Upenyu hwedu hunoenderana nekuziva kuti tinogona kuvimba kune umwe kune umwe kutarisa mitsika yedu, kuve nechokwadi kuti kuchengetedzwa kwechikepe kunogadziriswa zvakanaka mberi kwepamusoro kana kutaridzika. "
Palisin, sevatungamiri vose vezvikepe, anoita kuti vashandi vake vazive nzira yekurwisana nemhirizhonga nekugara vachimhanya kuurayiwa kwezvipembenene mukati mekuendeswa kwechikepe. Mushure mezvose, ita kuti zvive zvakakwana, uye apo iwe uine iwe pachako kuverenga, kuva wakakwana ndiyo chete yakakwana yakakwana yekuchengetedza iwe uri mupenyu.
"Tinodzidzira kupindura kune vanotambura zvikuru zvokuti tinozviita zvisikwa," akadaro MM2 (SS) Jim Crowson. "Kudzidziswa kwedu kunofanirwa kuitika. Kana zvisina kudaro, tinogona kutya kutanga pane kupindura kana chinhu chaicho chichienda. Pane mazana mana, hapana nguva yekutya. Handisi kuedza kuchema macho-ndeyechokwadi chekuti ungapukunyuka sei kana iwe wose unogona kuva nemasekondi vasati chikepe chidonhera pasi chichipwanya zvakadzika. "
Pasinei nekuenda kune rimwe gungwa pane chikepe chisina mahwindo, hapana chinyararire, hapana helipad kana kunyange chibvumirano ichibvumira mune imwe mhirizhonga-kuputsa mhepo yakachena yemunyu, vafambisi vengarava vachiri vafambisi vezvikepe mumoyo. Ihama idzi dzose dzinozvipira kubasa rechikepe , uye kuzvipira kwavo hakuna kusiyana kune vafambisi vezvikepe pavatakuri vezvikepe, vafambisi kana kunyange tugboats. Vanongoita mari shoma shomanana (marineti yemari yebhadharo yakakwana) ichiita, iyo inowanikwa zvakanaka apo une 154 mazuva ekuberekwa kwehama kuzotenga.
Vanoda nyika yavo, vanotsigira Maitiro Edzimba eNavy ekuremekedzwa, ushingi, nekuzvipira uye vanoda kuidzorera zvakare zvakachengetedzeka kubva kune imwe neimwe yekuiswa. Sezvo basa rakanyarara, zvakadaro, vangadai iwe hauna kutaura nezvazvo.
