US Navy here too. I went in out of high school in '86, and got out in '92. Went in under a special program that promoted me to E-4 upon completion of several special schools before going to the fleet. Once there I put on E-5 a year into my tour on the Pratt, and then E-6 about a year and a half into my time on the America. Got out doing shore duty at Naval Station Ingleside, down in Texas.
Served aboard the USS William V. Pratt (DDG-44) and the USS America (CV-66) on which I got to take a trip to the Red Sea, and Persian Gulf for Operation Desert Shield.
I saw pics of the Pratt being scrapped and chopped up, and others of the America taking hits from various projectiles and being sunk in about 900 feet of water.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
