A couple of weeks ago I saw a documentary about a carrier task force
in the Persian Gulf. One episode dealt with the accompanying attack
submarine trying to penetrate the carrier's antisubmarine defenses
and make a simulated torpedo attack on the carrier. One scene showed
a sailor at an electronic console with a circular slide rule in his
hand. Backup I guess.

Secondly, a couple of months ago alot of talk in the group dealt with
placing an order with Consise in Japan for an order of circular slide
rules. What happened with that?
