That's why you don't sneak up on it. A diesel electric sub could just wait for the carrier group to sail right over it. Close to shore or in shallow water there would be a fair bit of noise to help hide an almost totally sub running on batteries. You would just have to sit near something like the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Actually the USAF just ordered 100 tankers based on the 767. Boeing is also developing a replacement for the AWACS/J-STARS based on the 767. The 767 is a proven design, which makes it a much safer choice.
You should take a look at the Myth series, as they focuse entirely on tactics on the battlefield. There are also mods that turn it into a WWII strategy game. I'm not sure whether or not there is a mod for the Pacific theatre. I do agree that would be a fun game.
I'll bet that ballistics testing is part of the test program. It is for the F-22. They took an airframe and shot it with everything they could to see how it would react.
The V-22 engines are also cross linked so that if one engine fails, the other will drive both rotors/propellers. Most military hardware is tested and designed to survive in combat. All of the armies helicopters are designed to fly without oil or hydraulic pressure for at least a short distance.
"If it ain't broke don't mess with it." So why aren't we using horses and sailing ships? It's called technological advancement. I'll bet you didn't post that comment on an Apple IIe.

Actually I understand that Australia is still a constitutional monarchy, although it was close. I have family in New Zealand and was paying attention to what was happening as New Zealand would most likely follow Australia's lead. In the end it was close enough that next time they put it to vote it could go either way. It would be nice to here from some Aussi's and Kiwis though to confirm it.
Here in Canada I don't really care about the Queen being our head of government, as it isn't hurting us. Our prime minister on the other hand...

They're generally activated by very hard impacts too.
First of all, I am a pilot, I'm just finishing my commercial Licencse.
According to most aviation magazines I have read, and from experience during my training, LCD's are more reliable. This is because they have almost no moving parts, so they can't really wear out or break like mechanical instruments. Mechanical instruments are still installed as back-ups, in commercial aircraft in case of something like an electrical failure, even then there is always a backup electrical system.
They LCD's display information similarily to older instruments because it is generally easier to read. They have changed the displays, especially with respect to navigation (moving maps with almost everything shown, like aircraft and navaids) and altimeters(usually a vertical bar and a digital read out).
The place I'm flying at has had about 5 mechanical instruments fail in the past month on different aircraft, but have never had a problem with the GPS LCD moving map screens.
There are some flight information displays that use WindowsNT, but apparently they are very reliable. They don't look like Windows though. I have never used one though.

How about the source printed on the side of the box?

Boeing designed and built the 747 in only 3 or 4 years.
