Submarine Peril : Chapter 2 : Submarine Peril

I think Pauline’s decision to leave home was the right thing to do. She had to get out of there sooner or later. She had to

This report was commissioned to review the Collins Class Submarine Project “Deep trouble”. The primary objective of this report is to analyses the dimensions of risk that need continuous management due to inter-relationships of all elements within Project Management and the importance of stakeholders. The topic was researched through extensive sources, including government bodies, course materials and other sources to provide the relevant information.

“See, I told you. Look how fast they’re walking now, and to them it seems like we’re following them,” Jamal exclaimed with an angered look on his face.

    The character of Pauline tries so desperately to fit into society's typecast of beauty that she loses the ability to love herself for who she is as well as her ability to appreciate what she does have. For example, when Pauline is made to feel inferior by other black women, Morrison  emphasizes, "Pauline felt uncomfortable with the few black women she met. They were amused by her because she didn't straighten her hair. When she tried to make up her face as they did, it came off rather badly. Their goading glances and private snickers at her way of talking... and dressing developed in her desire for new clothes" (Morrison 118). Pauline is aggravated because of her physical appearance. She feels ugly and wants to fit in with society's women. She tries fitting into what is thought by those around her to be the  ideal characterization of beauty instead of accepting herself for whom she is. Pauline Breedlove's insecurities only deepen as a result of her attempts to look a certain way. In addition, when Morrison explains how Pauline would rather be around nice things at work than at her own

In the fall of 1971, as President Nixon was attempting to convince The Soviet Union to include submarines and ballistic missiles in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), the US Navy was planning on introducing a new class of submarines called the Trident. The Trident submarines were to succeed the Polaris submarines, which was developed in the 1950s. The Trident submarines were not only physically larger than the Polaris submarines, they also possessed revolutionary propulsion components and weaponry. If the US could successfully launch the Trident program, Nixon felt it would generate progress in SALT by demonstrating the United States’ commitment to strategic submarines and missiles. However, if the Trident program was unable to

The United States has constantly been developing and advancing their military branches, strategies, and special forces. There are five branches of the military: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, United States Coast Guard, and the Air Force. The first branch of the military to form was the Army in June 1775. The Army formed after the American Revolutionary War. Its purpose was to coordinate attacks on Great Britain’s Military. The next branch of the military to form was the United States Navy. The Navy was formed in October 1775. The Navy had been assigned missions to ambush, prevent, and hinder British aquatic or naval operations. After the Navy came the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps was a special tactical team that was able to fight at sea and on shore. 15 years later came the United States coast guard. The United States Coast Guard enforced maritime safety generally to enforce federal tariff and trade. The next branch didn't form for many years later until 1947. The Air Force was created to defend the nation through the control air and space. As you can see the United States has vastly developed their military divisions. Each division has

The Royal Australian Navy’s Collins Class Submarine is designed to replace the 30 year old Oberon Submarines. The Collins Class is the first submarine to be made in Australia and is the most advanced of its time due to its software architecture. Deep Trouble addresses various issues that were faced during the design and development stages of the Collins Class project. This report will focus on the interrelationship between the three PMBOK knowledge areas of scope, procurement and quality management and the impact each had on the final project.

The sources tie together with one another by explaining the purpose of the Turtle "submarine". Source number one explains on how the turtle was used and what it was used for.

On septemeber 6th Lee entered the Turtle to attack the Eagle. It was the first time in history for submarine warfare.

In the novel, Morrison condemns the idea of living by one’s perception of one’s value rather than through the truth, which leads to negative implications. Pauline Breedlove creates an elaborate fantasy world, in which the household of her white employers becomes hers. Morrison indicates that Pauline “[looks] at their houses, [smells] their linens, [touches] their silk draperies, and [loves] all of it” (Morrison, 127), to suggest that Pauline has formed an attachment to what she believes is hers. The way she refers to “[her] floor...[her] floor...[her] floor” (107), after her daughter Pecola accidentally spills a tart at the Fishers’ house, implies that Pauline views that household as a parallel reality, with the white girl as her daughter, and the clean kitchen as her kitchen. Morrison depicts another illusion in which Pauline strives to become a paragon of virtue—by being “an active church woman, [not] drinking, smoking or carousing” (128). She believes she “[fulfills] a mother’s role conscientiously when she points out [the father’s] faults to keep [the children] from having them” (129). But in reality, Pauline fails to embody that role, often “neglecting her house, her children, her man” (127) and “fighting [her husband] with a darkly brutal formalism” (43). Morrison’s depiction of Pauline’s delusive mindset consequently leads to harmful effects, like the emotional abandonment of her family. Her

The stars are still high up in the sky without a hint of light beginning to touch them. You still feel dreary from the lack of sleep from the night before, but your mamma cow has been expecting for some time now, and you are armed and ready to help in any way you can when the little one decides to come out. As you walk over to a water-spigot you had installed a few summers back due to the intense heat, your just about to fill your hands with the cool liquid in an attempt to bring you to more consciousness, and you hear a loud whale from your mamma cow that you have wrapped up in some old afghans your wife made last Christmas. Suddenly you more awake than ever, quickly gathering some water in a tin bucket, and heading straight towards the back

Torpedoes can easily be considered one of the most significant modern inventions in maritime history leading up to the advancements made during the late 1800s. The earliest torpedoes in today's terms would be considered mines, as they were not self propelled, and existed in the early 1800s. Adaptations of early sedentary torpedoes were used widely during the American Civil War, although their significance in naval warfare was overshadowed by the emergence of steam engines and iron armor on ships. Post Civil War, many advancements were made regarding rifling that led to the invention of the self propelled torpedo. In World War I and World War II, torpedoes were the weapon of choice in naval engagements. Torpedoes continued to be a threat

After Pauline and Cholly move to Lorain, Ohio, Pauline finds the people unkind and describes her time as 'the lonesomest time of my life." (Morrison, p. 117) She comes to rely heavily on

Pauline Breedlove's personal history is shown to have played out in extreme measures in the life of her daughter. From the early part of her life she has worn a shroud of shame. The book says that it is due primarily to her injured foot that she felt a sense of separateness and unworthiness and

Another example of the failure of adults is seen in Pauline Breedlove. Just as Geraldine focuses more on her desires than her child, so does Pauline in ways that also drift her away from her family. Mrs. Breedlove is a black woman who dreams she can somehow make her family appreciate her but after Pauline figures that she could not, she finds meaning in romantic movies and the Fisher Family - the white family she works for. The narrator tells readers, “More and more she neglected her house, her children, her man – they were like the afterthoughts one has just before sleep, the early-morning and late-evening edges of her day, the dark edges that made the daily life with the Fishers lighter, more delicate, more lovely. . .Here she found beauty, order, cleanliness, and praise” (127). Pauline Breedlove works for a family that is not her family and because the Fishers give her what she desires, she ends up neglecting her own family. Mrs. Breedlove fails to

Tabitha Fletcher was the new safety manager at Johnson’s Institution. She was 20 years old and was examining the submarines and ships that the institution owned. She peeked her head into an old explorer submarine, her eyes falling on a leather-covered journal that sat on the floor of one. She picked it up, leafing through it.
