message: Examples would be nice.  If I understand it, any deterministic periodic function is cyclostationary?  e.g. sine.
Also, this sentence, which occurs twice, could be more specific (i.e. relate to the Fourier Transform):
"A time series that contains no additive finite-strength sine-wave components"
I think it's possible to take a cyclostationary process and add in a new random component (e.g. a random shift, with the shift length less than the period)
to make a stationary process.  Can anyone expound on this?   Lavaka (talk) 16:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:USS Griswold (DE-7)

message: There are two launch dates available on the web: that given by the DANFS (28 April 1943) and that given by NavSource Naval History (9 January 1943).
Examination of the "laid down" and "commission" dates of Griswold (DE-7) and the various other vessels of the Evarts class suggests that the date given by the DANFS is incorrect.
DANFS states that Griswold was launched 5 months after it was laid down, and that it was commissioned on the same day it was launched. Stranger things have happened, but given the existence of an alternative "launch" date, I felt it warranted further investigation.
Destroyed Escorts DE-1 through DE-7 were all built at the Boston Navy Shipyard, in numeric order, and in batches - pairs through DE-6, and then a batch of four from DE-7 to DE-10.
Time Between "Laid Down" and "Launched"
DE-1 & DE-2 were laid down on the same day, and launched on the same day 2.7 months later.
DE-3 & DE-4 were both laid down on the same day, and launched on the same day 2 months later.
DE-5 & DE-6 were both laid down on the same day, and launched on the same day 1.7 months later.
DE-7 to DE-10 were all laid down on the same day, and DE-8 to DE-10 were all launched on the same day 1.4 months later.
Time Between "Launched" and "Commissioned"
DE-1 & DE-2 They were both commissioned between 7 and 8 months after launch.
DE-3 & DE-4 were both commissioned between 3.7 and 4.1 months after launch.
DE-5 & DE-6 were both commissioned 4.3 months after launch.
DE-8 to DE-10 were all commissioned between 3.8 and 4.2 months after launch.
So what happened to the Griswold (DE-7)? According to DANFS, it took an unusually long 5 months to launch the ship - almost twice as long as DE-1, and more than 3 times as long as it took to construct Griwold's sister ships. And then, instead of the 4 months it took on average to outfit the ship between launch and commissioning, DANFS says that it was commissioned on the same day it was launched.
As I've said before, this is possible. Perhaps some extreme delay in construction, and then a rush to get it into commission? The alternative launch date for the Griswold is 9 Jan 1943, which would put its construction exactly in line with its sister ships. I believe this is the more likely scenario.
On the other hand, an unexpected construction delay causing the Griswold to get commissioned alongside its sister ships without being finished would make for a great story, and a fascinating historical detail, so I encourage anyone with information about Griswold's construction to post it.

Talk:USS Peoria (LST-1183)

message: I was a US Marine from 1983-1987 and was transported by the USS Peoria, along with my LVT-P7A1 Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) platoon.  I was in Alpha Co., 3rd AAV Battalion, 3d MarDiv, based at Camp Schwab, Okinawa.  I rode in this flat-bottomed boat, often sleeping in the well-deck inside my amtrak, all the way to South Korea.  We were shipped there by the 7th Fleet along with our Regiment to participate in Bear Hunt '86, the annual show of force operation that ran as near to the DMZ as judgment and maximum effective range would allow.
The boat had a few crew and berthing decks and getting from fore to aft often required going up, around, then back down again.  We smoked below decks back then and played cards incessantly.  I woke myself up at 3am to get the best water pressure in a quick shower and volunteered for mess duty, talking my way into Captain's Mess service, where I could steal the best food.  The Naval officers were really polite and friendlier than Marine officers, who mostly treated us like the highly-trained peasants we really were.
On the way back to the Rock, I didn't heed the "Stations! Stations! Battle drills!" klaxon enough heed and ended up falling backwards, "Poseidon Adventure"-style, onto the floor, which was the bulkhead before the boat started zig-zagging 45-deg. turns at full speed. 
I will post some scans of our "yearbook" soon and use them as reference to update the main page of the article.  Just about the "Bear Hunt" part, not my shower habits.

Talk:List of ships of the United States Air Force

message: While writing up USNS Twin Falls (T-AGM-11), I could not verify that the army had anything to do with it, as another author added here.  In fact the MARAD PMARS card shows the hull being withdrawn for the Air Force in 1960. --J Clear 02:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Army involvement in Twin Falls Victory (no citation) 

message: I will write up what I personally can verify. I worked in Radar Engineering Dept of Range Development Directorate of the Atlantic Missile Range located in the Tech Lab at Patrick AFB, Florida in 1961. I handled testing data and proof of accuracy tests required to pay RCA for the AN/FPS-16 missile tracking radar installed on the Twin Falls Victory. 
The Pershing Missile project of the US Army provided funds to Atlantic Missile Range (Eastern Test Range), to purchase a special tracking ship to prove the aiming accuracy of the Pershing as USAF at that time did not have a ship capable of doing so. The US Army Pershing Missile project had to transfer funds needed by a document known as the MIPR (Military Interdepartmental Procurement Request)
The USAF had to transfer funds by MIPR to the US Navy to purchase an FPS-16 radar because the Navy controlled purchasing of that sort of hardware.
The Army did not own or possess or operate the ship. They merely paid for it to assure the success of the Pershing missile.

replies: text: Ship's page updated. The hull was always U.S. government owned. The Maritime Commission, successor to the War Shipping Administration, had custody of the ship until it transferred custody to the Air Force. The ship was converted and specially equipped in Mobile, Alabama for the Army's Persiing missile program and it is most likely, almost certain, the Army  MIPRed funds for conversion and almost certainly special equipment.

One of the major problems I am encountering is that Eric Purdon's book is written in the form of an interesting reminiscence and not an objective or detailed history. One particular problem is his habit of not indicating dates for many of the events he writes about. As a result, I can't indicate specific dates for many of the events and have to scan back and forth to find any references to what day or month the event is taking place in. I am not estimating any dates or time periods in the article, but I do indicate dates or time frames, as in "first week of November", when Purdon mentions such. Thomas R.

Later the text states the convoy arrived in Guantanamo on 27 July. Therefore, making an educated guess, I placed text in the article stating the incident happened on 21 July. If anyone has a problem with this, we can amend that to state "late July." Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 18:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
