Why Is It Forbidden For Sailors On Aircraft Carriers To Feed The Fish? #shorts

Why is it forbidden for sailors on aircraft carriers to feed the fish? This restriction is in place to prevent the attraction of seagulls, which pose significant safety hazards to aircraft operations on the carrier's flight deck. Furthermore, disposing of food can also attract larger marine creatures like sharks or whales that have the potential to cause damage to the ship or disrupt its operations. By adhering to this policy, the carrier ensures a safe and efficient working environment for all personnel involved. #shorts #short #shortvideo #feed #fish #forbidden Note: "The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement." ADDITIONAL READINGS: One of the best things about snorkelling or diving is being immersed in a world of marine life. Being surrounded by so many brightly-coloured, tropical fish is a thrilling experience. This is usually the reason why some divers and snorkellers like to feed the fish with food scraps, like rice or bread, to encourage them to come even closer. But did you know that doing this is actually harmful to the fish and their environment? Here are a few reasons why we shouldn’t feed the fish. IT DISRUPTS THE BALANCE OF THE ECOSYSTEM Marine ecosystems are underwater communities; a network of life where everything is connected. This means one seemingly small change can have a huge knock-on effect. When snorkellers or divers feed the fish, it alters their natural behaviour, disrupting the delicate balance of the ecosystem. This can lead to the destruction of the reef itself and the incredible array of life it supports. IT CAN LEAD TO ALGAE SMOTHERING THE CORAL Algae might not sound like the tastiest snack to us but, for many fish, it’s a staple meal. By eating algae, fish aren’t only keeping their natural diets in check but they’re also providing a sort of gardening service by controlling algae growth. This means that if the fish find their food elsewhere (i.e. from humans), the algae on the reef could start to grow out of control; smothering the coral and causing it to suffocate and die. IT LEAVES NESTS VULNERABLE TO PREDATORS If you’ve ever seen a diver or snorkeller feed the fish, you’ll know it can stir up a frenzy! Fish will rush to the food source, competing with one another to gorge on as much as they can. But when species that are usually solitary demonstrate this kind of group predatory behaviour, it leaves nests unguarded and vulnerable to predators. IT CAN ACTUALLY LEAD TO STARVATION This might sound a little weird but feeding fish could actually result in them starving to death. This is because most marine animals have a pretty specific range of digestive bacteria. When they’re fed the wrong kind of food (like rice or bread), it can lead to the wrong type of bacteria becoming dominant in their stomachs. This could result in the fish no longer being able to digest their natural food and starving to death. And no one wants that! CROWN-OF-THORNS CAN GROW OUT OF CONTROL The Crown-of-Thorns starfish (COT) is a sea star named for the spines that cover its body and arms. These guys are well-known coral predators. Any diver who’s witnessed their path of destruction will know just how harmful they can be to coral reefs if population numbers get out of control. Normally, pesky COTs are kept under control by fish who unwittingly eat their eggs while grazing on algae. But when these fish are fed by humans, they no longer need to graze on the algae. This allows predator populations to increase, causing serious damage to the reef. Most divers or snorkellers who feed fish don’t realise the impact it can have on the health of the reef and other marine life. Whether you’re a dive operator or an individual diver, our Green-Fins posters are available to download, display and share for free. They’re a great resource to educate others and a handy reminder of the ways we can all do our bit to keep our coral reefs healthy! Damage To The Environment Hand-feeding fish takes a toll on the marine environment too. Adding food to the water around reefs increases nutrient levels which then increases the growth of harmful algae that damage corals. The majority of reef fish are grazers, meaning they only eat algae. They keep the growth of the algae on coral reefs under control so that the reefs aren’t smothered. By feeding fish their behaviour is modified so that they no longer graze on the harmful algae that need to be removed from the reef, the algae may become overgrown. Eventually the reef is destroyed and the habitat of many species is lost. Be Responsible We encourage you to be responsible on your sightseeing tour or on your snorkeling or diving trip. Don’t feed the fish or throw any food scraps overboard, place them in the bin instead. And if you see someone feeding the fish, please ask them to stop doing it and if you can, explain to them why. Share this information with your friends and family too.

Why ATACMS Are Better Than You Think

Get your own Goat Model Today! Shop here: https://bit.ly/3LNKBk7 This is the US Army’s Tactical Missile System that can yeet missiles 300 kilometers (190 miles) within a margin of error of give or take 10 meters. You’re not placing warheads on foreheads, you're choosing which strand of hair you want to hit on the enemy's dome. So why is the ATACM so hot right now? Major news outlets reported that on September 21st, President Biden promised a small number of ATACM missiles to Ukrainian President Zelensky in a closed door summit at the White House. No official statement has confirmed the decision and no ATACMS are included in the latest $325 million dollar security assistance package, at least four US officials speaking anonymously leaked the news to the press. Written by: Chris Cappy & Diego Aceituno Edited by: Maksym If true, the decision to send the long range ATACM missiles ends over a year of the Ukrainian government asking for this capability. It’s a major reversal of American policy because until now, the US had refused to send ATACMs to Ukraine, citing a variety of reasons from the weapon’s long range would allow strikes into Russian territory, along with concerns that the US didn’t have enough to send without seriously compromising its ability to fend off other threats like China. At least China doesn’t get triggered in the comments section when I say something redundant like ATACM missile. How and why was this system developed? Are defense analysts correct that the US might not have enough missiles to handle emerging threats in the coming years? And why is the US government changing its mind about sending the weapon to Ukraine after over a year of denials? I’m your average infantryman @cappyarmy on instagram let's find out. Background Take a look at the huge missile loaded into the ATACM. That missile weighs 227 kilograms or 500 lbs. The M270’s conventional loadout has two pods with six missiles each, but at 13 feet in length and 22 inches in diameter, the MGM-140 takes up an entire pod by itself, meaning an M270 can only carry two ATACMS instead of 6 regular rocket artillery. It’s so big that when it's a unitary bomb like this it has a kill radius of about 262 feet or 80 meters. According to my average infantryman math that’s 60% larger than a 155mm artillery shell. The ATACM was first made famous during Operation Desert Storm, its a ground-launched, guided ballistic missile that can be fired from either the M270 MLRS or M142 HIMARS launch vehicles. The Washington Post reported that they estimated the US army had 1,486 ATACMS in its arsenal. 364 are armed with cluster munitions and the rest with unitary bombs. How accurate those numbers are I’m not sure because The Pentagon won’t officially release the exact number it has in inventory for national security reasons. They sound accurate when you consider the US actually terminated the ATACMS program in 2007 because the costs were too high to justify it at the time. Remember this was back when the focus of the US military was now on counterinsurgency warfare and the ATACM had limited use there. This meant no new ATACMS missiles were added to the US inventory during that time. However the “ Service Life Extension Program” did refurbish older missiles into current operational versions. That didn’t start until 2016 renewed missiles didnt reach the US until 2018. Around 4,000 ATACMS missiles of various types were produced by Lockheed-Martin in total. Minus the 600 that were fired in Iraq. But that doesn’t mean the US has 3,400 left over because Missiles systems degrade over time. The chemical compounds in rocket motors, explosives, hydraulic systems get old and become ineffective over time. Its reported shelf life is ten years so that could mean the only operational missiles the US Army has might only be whatever has been refurbished and delivered by Lockheed-Martin since 2018 which does make 1,486 sound right. #WAR #ARMY #MILITARY Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/join Task & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

How Drone Warfare Changed Everything

Get Entered to WIN this awesome Skywalker Fixed Wing Drone! https://bit.ly/3FjXoqZ DEADLINE to ENTER is 10/29/23 @ 11:59pm (PST) There is no debate that weaponized drones have forever changed the tactical-level conduct of war. Even nations without access to larger drones are showing just how dangerous cheap commercial quadcopters are on the battlefield. Just look at this video of a weaponized civilian drone HAMAS used to take out an Israeli remote control machine gun during their October attack. Or their use against comtmunications towers. Here is another video of a commercial drone being prepped for use in the ongoing Sudan civil war. You now have the power of surveillance and close air support organic at the squad level for a few thousand dollars instead of a few million. But nowhere is the combat use of drones (small and large) more prevalent than in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. Small quadcopters and fixed wing drones with increasingly heavy payloads are able to hit soft targets.
