The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Camp Sibert Cleanup 2008-2009


On March 28, 2019, I wrote about Camp Sibert in Alabama, where chemical weapons were developed and tested.  All those chemical weapons and a good chance there might be pollution of a dangerous sort.

Waymarking continued.

The Army Corps of Engineers completed remediation of "Range 30" sire during 2008-2009 to remove used live mortar shells containing possible chemical agents of:"

mustard gas
phosgene
white phosporus
tearing agents
chemical smoke  (sulfur trioxide & chlorosulfonic acid solution)

This effort also involved  a Segway Robotic Mobility Platform.
