Brooklyn Navy Yard

And now, ladies and gentlemen-

From the armed forces of the police and the Marine, and the Marine guards of the New York, of the New York Naval Shipyard raises the colors.

Will you please stand as the colors are raised? "The Star Spangled Banner" as played by the Xavier Lopez Orchestra will soon- Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for "The Star Spangled Banner."

Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light.

It was partly successful, uh, which were enough indication that they were getting results to continue their research in that direction.

And they continued with this until 1940 when they had a fully successful test at the Brooklyn Navy Yard with a small tender.

Well, I assume before they tested on a, on a ship, uh, that they were testing on smaller objects in, in, in a lab environment.

Isn't that correct?

Uh, before we get to the ships, they were, um, experimenting on smaller objects.

Can you give me any technical details on how they were... uh, what, what process they were using and how far they actually got in the lab?

Well, I can't tell you much about how far they got in the lab because I was not part of the project until 1940, actually January 1940, along with my brother, before the, uh, Brooklyn Navy Yard test.

Now, uh, to give you a brief rundown of the technical aspects of this, one has to understand that first of all, we are not living in a three-dimensional universe or even a four-dimensional.

My dad was in the, uh, Army Air Corps as a navigator that way.

Prior to that he was a p- police officer, you know, worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and I just think he had an interest in selling equipment and saw the need in New Jersey for selling fire equipment, and he just started selling that door to door, you know?

Yeah.

Fire extinguishers that way.

Uh, if he's not willing to do that, then council members in the city council who are claimed to be progressive should have her dragged in front of the city council and compel her to answer questions about why the NYPD has been facilitating ICE deportations and why the NYPD has been assisting and coordinating with ICE in, in violation of sanctuary city laws.

Um, also, there are companies throughout the city, and especially in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, uh, where-- Which is public land that is subsidized by the city.

The rents, uh, for companies there are subsidized by the city, um, that create gear and uniforms for ICE and Border Patrol, and I'm thinking particularly of the company called Crye Precision, which is a manufacturer of wep- of, uh, uniforms.

Uh, we know that they, uh, th- they were wearing Crye Precision uniforms, the Border Patrol was, when they killed Alex Preddy.

Let's keep killing babies.

Let's put a weapons manufacturer in the Brooklyn Navy Yard next to the fucking Wegmans and let's send those weapons over to keep killing babies like we've been doing for the past three fucking years.

Let's keep forgetting about Sudan and Congo and keep letting these African people just get killed.

Because why do they fucking matter?

There is nothing, to my mind, so pathetic as a girl who thinks she can't do anything and is of no use to the world." Her patriotism.

The late Admiral Phillip, he of the Texas in the Santiago fight, regarded Miss Gould as an angel, and the sailors of the Brooklyn Navy Yard fairly worship her.

A hustling YMCA chap, Frank Smith by name, started a little clubhouse for Jack Ashore near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Miss Gould heard of this club and visited it.

At a glance, she grasped the meaning, and on her return home, she wrote a letter and a check for $50,000.

In November 1938, the Navy reclassified Manly, DD-74, as a miscellaneous auxiliary, AG-28.

After a few weeks of hasty work in the New York Navy Yard, the ship served as a transport for Marine units in the Caribbean.

In the fall of 1939, Manly went back into the yards for a more extensive conversion.

Workers removed all torpedo tubes, one gun, two boilers, and their stacks.
