Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade completed the qualification for the M169 Volcano Mine Dispensing System on April 6 at TTA Tom in South Korea. The system was attached to three UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and is used to place mines in tactical positions. The soldiers only get to train on this equipment usually one time a year. The Co. E, 2-2nd Avn. Regt. set up a forward ammo and refueling point at TTA Tom to help support the training.

Interesting current event: Hurricane Gustav didn't devastate New Orleans as much as had been predicted, but it was still a nasty storm. I'm so glad we didn't have to watch another Katrina rip across the area.
Another easy-peasy block. I love reverse applique.

The third USS Salem (CA-139) is one of three Des Moines-class heavy cruisers completed for the United States Navy shortly after World War II. Commissioned in 1949, she was the world's last all-gun heavy cruiser to enter service. She was decommissioned in 1959, after serving in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. She is open to the public as a museum ship in Quincy, Massachusetts.
The Des Moines-class cruisers were a trio of U.S. Navy heavy cruisers, commissioned in 1948–1949. They were the last of the all-gun heavy cruisers, exceeded in size in the American navy only by the Alaska-class cruisers. Two were decommissioned by 1961, but one, Newport News (CA-148), served until 1975. Salem (CA-139) is a museum ship in Quincy, Massachusetts; the other two ships were scrapped.
Derived from the Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, they were larger, had an improved machinery layout, and carried a new design of auto-loading, rapid-fire 8"/55 gun (the Mk16). The improved Mk16 guns of the main battery were the first auto-loading 8" guns fielded by the US Navy, and allowed a much higher rate of fire than earlier designs, capable of sustaining 12 shots per minute per barrel, or about three times that of the Mk12s and MK15s found on the Baltimore class. The auto-loading mechanism could function at any elevation, giving even these large-caliber guns some anti-aircraft ability. While the secondary battery of six twin 5"/38 Mk12 DP guns was essentially unchanged from the preceding Oregon City and Baltimore-class cruisers, the Des Moines class carried a stronger battery of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, including 12 twin 3-inch/50 Mk27 and later Mk33 guns, that were considered superior to the earlier ships' quad-mounted 40mm Bofors against then current airborne threats.

Authors Note: What a fantastic museum warship. The museum is obviously being run by enthusiasts with limited resources for maintenance but the service they are giving in saving this fine ship is beyond praise. This museums authenticity and good access makes it a far better viewing experience than most of the more commercial warship museums that I have visited. Highly recommended.
