the navy has a sense of humor

the synchroMYSTIC bloggers (they've calling themselves that now) have finally noticed the uss abraham lincoln has a big 72 painted on it. being that most people noticed this around 2-13-88 or at least by 11-11-89, them peeing their pants over it now is... just weird.

here is a list of the nimitz class carriers:
uss nimitz cvn 68 (named for fleet admiral chester w. nimitz)
uss dwight d. eisenhower cvn 69
uss carl vinson cvn 70 (us representative from georgia, democrat, chairman house naval committee)
uss theodore roosevelt cvn 71
uss abraham lincoln cvn 72
uss george washington cvn 73 (there has been a ship named for him continually since 1798)
uss john c. stennis cvn 74 (us senator from mississippi, democrat, chairman senate committee on armed services)
uss harry s. truman cvn 75
uss ronald reagan cvn 76
uss george h.w. bush cvn 77 (navy pilot wwii/avenger bomber)

so, the numbers are IN ORDER. uss enterprise cvn 65 will be replaced by gerald r. ford cvn 78. the enterprise is kitty hawk class. the g.r. ford will be a new class.

but, about the navy's sense of humor. they allow each ship to do their own web page. on the abraham lincoln page they have a link labeled:

c/vn 7+2

click it and you'll immediately get every number they can think of related to the ship. haha

here's some math for you:
(stupid as hell) + (self-important ego stroking) + (paranoid) = synchromystic

the number thing even when employed better is pretty sketchy when numbers are just consecutive. yeah, the navy assigned those numbers, but it kind of makes sense the order they are in...

3 x 3 = 9
7 + 2 = 9
9 + 9 = 18/1 + 8 = 9

999 upsidedown is 666

booyah!

haha, there are a lot of numbers in this world. that's the problem with using numbers to detect the klum masters. even though they love themselves some numbers. they probably invented numbers just to mess with us.

when seeking to decipher conspiracies and occult meanings, it is best to approach them like the ghost hunters approach their investigations- with an eye on debunking. if their is a rational, logical explanation, then regardless of what you may feel, you have to declare it fail. it no logical answer presents itself, or if the evidence is mountainous, then you really have something. you gotta be careful or you just end up looking like a self-aggrandizing, pretentious asshole calling yourself synchromystic. and by doing that, you hurt the cause.

in various places i've worked numbers were sometimes insert (small at the bottom) to help us track the ad. so that is an example of a random number that can definitely be there (it will be very small), but really has no meaning except for filing.

people on cvn 77 use the term "the avengers". btw. that's why i said specifically what plane ghwb flew because i wondered about that.
