Attention Loyal Denizens of Cyberspace.

In the tradition set forth by His Majesty Emperor Norton I, Emperor of America, and the Protector of Mexico, I, Noboru Akimoto, answering to the overwhelming requests of the denizens of cyberspace, hereby declare myself Emperor of the World Wide Web, and in virtue of the powers vested in me hereby order all representatives of Web Sites all over the internet to gather at the X-wing Legacy Forums on the 1st of November. At this meeting we shall labor to create a set of strict, but just laws in order to bring about the end of the chaos and evils plaguging our land, and to create confidence in our ability to act both responsibly and freely both online and off.

Please repost this whereever you can. Thank you.

Noboru I, Emperor of Cyberspace, and Protector of Peer to Peer Networking.

(As for the referrence, please refer to Emperor Norton I, and his reign over the United States during his time as Emperor in the mid 19th century.)

What a beautiful introduction. Overflowing with inaccuracies, but beautiful nonetheless.

Nonetheless, the Emperor of the Galaxy will be present at the aforementioned event.

This was his introduction.

quote:

First post here, yay.

Anyway, the US Navy maintains 2 oceanic fleets(Atlantic and Pacific) each having their own CINC, while operating 4 theaters.(Central, Europe, Atlantic, and Pacific) All fleets are technically under the authority of the fleet's CinC while overall operating command belongs to the theater command.

The Navy currently consists of 5 numbered fleets the 2nd operating out of Norfolk, the 3rd operating out of Pearl, the 5th operating out of Manama(Bahrain), the 6th operating out of Naples, and the 7th operating out of Yokosuka.

The Pacific Fleet currently consists of 6 carriers(2 conventional, 4 nuclear), 13 cruisers(Ticonderoga class), 14 Guided Missile Destroyers(Arleigh Burkes), 10 standard Destroyers(Spurance class), 15 frigates(Oliver Perry)for a total of 6 carriers, and 52 surface ships.(Roughly 9:1 ration on surface ships/carriers)

Atlantic fleet consists of a similar mix with 64 surface combatants, 6 carriers.

Both fleets have roughly 30 submarines, of which 3/4ths are attack, the rest being ballistic.

Each are then split into battle groups. Carriers operate normally as a CVBG with 1 carrier, and 2-3 CG escorts.(Other escorts added as needed.) Smaller ships operate in their own squadrons of about 4 ships.

For the GTVA, the distinction between "Pac fleet and "Lant fleet" would probably be between the Terran fleets and Vasudan, and accounting for their increased space they'd cover, I'd imagine 6-10 Destroyers per side isn't much of a stretch.

With Terran it's probably something like 6 numbered fleets, with each consisting of 1 forward deployed Destroyer, 2 Destroyers in port(Replacing carriers), 2 Corvettes per destroyer(replacing guided missile cruisers) Cruisers seem between frigates and destroyers in a RL navy, though maybe it'd be safe to conclude that frigate roles are filled by older Fenris/Leviathans, while the Aeolus serves as a DDG replacement. Thus you might have squadrons of 1 Aeolus, and maybe 3 Fenris(if there are that many surviving anyway), or more rarely 1 corvette and a couple of newer cruisers. Total figure would probably be somewhere around 30 ships per fleet with maybe 15 of them deployed at any one time.(one thing to keep in mind is that you can't always have ships on deployment, so for every 1 ship deployed there should at least be 1 in port.)

You could probably fit this figure more or less better to maybe 8-9 fleets to match the "26 battlegroup" figure from the Hornet production run and distribution figures quoted.

Of course, of these the GTVA probably lost at least 2 fleets during the course of the second Great War, and additional ships to the events in things such as Warzone.

A good forward deployment figure would probably be somewhere around 9 destroyers, of which 5 or so are Hecate, 3 Orions, and any class that you added being available in small numbers. 20 Corvettes, 38 advanced cruisers, and 42 or so older model cruisers. About half again as many ships should be available to call upon in times of war(with the other half maybe needing a month, maybe two at max to be finished from their refits/dock work)

As for support craft, there's roughly about 60 or so auxillaries per US Navy fleet. The figure would probably be about 40% freighters, 60% tenders and transports.

Hmm...was he trying to be Plasma in this thread or something?

Okay, point of clarification.

This was more a general joke that was pointed at a bunch of forums at once.

The concept of "Emperor Norton" who was the self proclaimed Emperor of America for about 30 years in the mid 19th century(where he ruled from San Francisco) seemed rather funny, and thought would be interesting to declare myself Emperor of the Internet.

As for me being a newbie...

New here perhaps, I suppose most of you don't play X-wing games...

Besides which as I've seen from many posts on these forums and elsewhere, the ability to post lots of useless garbage replies doesn't make one intelligent.

Posted by Someone on 10-11-2002 11:17 AM:

Correct.

It's just, well, not very funny IMO.

All times are EST. The time now is 09:34 AM.
