Talk:Nulka

Question
Pdfpdf, I saw you made some revisions to the NULKA article. I have a photo I took of a NULKA launcher and I would like to put it in the article but I don't know how. Could you help me? How do I contact you? —71.118.222.75 (talk) 05:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "Could you help me?" - Yes, certainly. I'd be happy to help.
 * "How do I contact you?" - Well, you already have. In other words, User talk:pdfpdf is a good place to "talk" to me. Alternatively, hold down the Shift key and click here. Another window will open. Over on the left side of that window in the 4th box from the top (labelled "toolbox"), there's an option "E-mail this user". Click on that, and send me an email.

 * Things that perhaps you should know about WP & photos:
 * To upload photos onto WP, you need to have an account, be logged in, and be an "Autoconfirmed user".
 * Creating an account is really easy. (The hard bit is chosing a username. Advice: Choose something more imaginative than Pdfpdf!)
 * Logging in is really easy.
 * Being autoconfirmed is easy too, but it does take a little bit of elapsed time.
 * If you don't want to wait, and want to do it NOW, then I can do it for you.
 * With WP, the copyright of the photo is a real pain.
 * The copyright must permit the photo to appear on WP. If not, there is a legion of pedants who will come along after you and remove the photo.
 * If you don't own the copyright, you need to read the copyright carefully to determine if it allows you to load it on WP. For example, many copyrights allow you to freely use a photo for "personal use", but loading it on to WP is NOT personal use, and hence that copyright forbids loading onto WP.
 * If you do own the copyright to the photo, you must define the copyright in a manner that allows the photo to be displayed on WP. (Personally, I can't be bothered with all the hoo-haa, so (perhaps injudiciously), I have been "giving away" the photo by using . (e.g. Click on this: Image:SleepsHill-CrossingLoop-north-e-Aug08.jpg and look at "Licensing".))

Mark Four Seven
The referenced Mk 47 Nulka Launcher seems to be missing a digit or a wrong number? USN launching systems are usually in the two-digits, (I.E. NSSMS GMLS Mk 29, SRBOC Mk 36 DLS, VLS Mk 41/48, RAM GMLS Mk 49, SLQ-49 Rubber Duck DLS Mk 50, or Nulka Mk 53 DLS), whereas individual launcher units (part of a system) are in the low three-digits, (I.E. NSSMS GML Mk 132, SRBOC Mk 137, RAM GML Mk 144). [Sometimes, the designations of systems, subsystems and major units/components are found to be used interchangeably in some casual conversations or online webpages]. I believe that when Nulka is integrated into SRBOC Mk 36 DLS, the system becomes DLS Mk 53, but the launcher retains Mk 137 designation with a new modification (Mod) number. Lockheed Martin's 2007 online pdf data sheet (PIRA#MAN200612001) shows a Mk 137 Mod 7 launcher as part of Nulka DLS Mk 53 Mod 1. Not sure if there is any stand-alone version of Nulka that does not piggy-back the six-tube SRBOC Mk 137 launcher. 144.183.224.2 (talk) 23:21, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Some, 100 - - - or none (0)?
Up to date now, really how many USN ships (alone) have Nulka? I recall just 1 USNR Spruance class destroyer getting it temporarily installed, and then removed, as a modification to support more realistic at-sea testing in later 1990's, and that operational testing and evaluation (OT&E) could not determine that the system was effective enough for the money. And then not much scuttlebutt about Nulka.144.183.224.2 (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

According to the DMO, in July 2007 the milestone of 100 ships worldwide was hit, with 83 of them being USN. There has obviously been more since then. 101.169.213.67 (talk) 00:36, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

The Last Ship depiction of Nulka
The article currently reads that the TV show was erroneous in its depiction of the Nulka being deployed. It seemed to me to mimic what is seen in BAE's own video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:4497:5020:43D:E77:113B:35F (talk) 23:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

USS Ponce
If Americans knew what "ponce" meant in British slang (and there's more than one meaning), I think they'd have chosen a different name: USS Gayboy, USS Pimp, USS Scrounger — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.146.53.41 (talk) 04:44, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
