At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost.

There is sound but this was shot with my digital camera so you will have to turn your volume up.

thanks, Ric. and I really appreciate the fact you took the time and effort to record the ceremony. That way we knew you were not in the pictures.

Seriously, you ugly fat slut....Thanks for the coverage. I can't remember if Warshot ever called you an ugly fat slut, but then I can' t remember that he didn't!

The rifles were fired three times. Is that a 'three-gun salute?' It's the same as it was for my brother. Beause there were five men shooting, and fifteen empty cartridges, my niece thought it was a 'fifteen gun salute.' She gave me five of the shells. Do they reload and fire 21 times for an officer?

Oh God, Taps just send shivers through my entire body. I want to cry.

Thank you Ric. I hope that every computerized Sub vets group - LIB, Cyberbase, USSVI, Rontini's, Submuseums.com, etc. shares this video with their members so we can all observe this ceremony for one of our hero's, in the best tradition of supporting the creed.

So I went to watch the video and got a "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" message.

Is my browser acting up, or did it maybe get pushed out the end of the queue by all the cajun-music-night videos?

As I understand it, only the President and visiting Heads of State get 21-gun salutes, and it is 21 individual cannon-shots, not volleys.

A standard military funeral gets 3 volleys. The number of riflemen varies, between 4 and 7, but it is still 3 volleys, not 12 or 15 or 21 guns.

Who had the link to the Protocol and Ceremonies pages?

Yeah, it's there on the index, but I still get the "sorry, not available" message when I try to play it.

I'll try again in the morning.

I think my browser is tired. It gave the same error just now when I tried to look at the video of the moron who climbed over the fence to take a picture and got grabbed by the bear.

I'll try again in the morning.
