EARLY: The USS Iowa Explosion

Joe is joined by Alice Caldwell-Kelly to talk about the time the Navy blamed gay people for their own institutional incompetence that ended in the deaths of 47 people

Carriers are forbidden from entering the blacksea, so the USSR built the 'totally not carriers'

When a 16" inch fires you don't feel it in your chest, you feel it in your grandparents.

Having heard this episode, I really want to hear either this podcast or Well There’s Your Problem (with Joe featured, of course) talk about aircraft carrier incidents, like the bombing of the USS Franklin and the subsequent fire in 1945, or the fires aboard the Oriskany, Forrestal and Enterprise that occurred in 1966, 1967 and 1969.

Great episode. This was one of the incidents that lead to the first fleet-wide "safety stand-down" after a slew of really banging accidents that included this, an F-18 accidentally hitting an Indian Fishing vessel with an anti-ship missile, another plane dropping a bomb on a US cruiser, a picnic area getting bombed in California, and others I can't remember.

Yay Alice

Those poor sailors; somehow this was one of the episodes I have found most tragic. Joe’s car isn’t shitty — All Hail the Mighty Prius — but the sex club sure sounds it.

If you think Iowas are smaller than you'd think, you should see USS Alabama. She looks downright diminutive

The barrier to starting a podcast is so low I once had one going(only lasted a couple episodes). Like do you have a friend who can edit and some friends who can make bits at each other for an hour? If so, you too can yell into the void for an hour a week.

Yay Alice! I'm always amazed at the various subjects Alice knows quite a bit about.
