The Guided Missile Cruiser USS Horne (CG-30) takes part in various missile and gun firing exercises in the Western Pacific in 1990. I shot & created this video onboard the Horne in 1990. Many people ask about the music... the first piece is from the "To Live & Die in L.A" soundtrack by Wang Chung... the 2nd piece is Joe Santriani's "Surfin' with the Alien"

  • this is how greenhouse gases are sent into skies

  • @w1d3w1k Now THAT'S funny!

  • Is my impression or the ship has a heavy list to starboard?

  • @VRichardsn Huh?

  • @VRichardsn

    Yer it does??

    evasive maneuverer?

  • @SO17Alpha Not positive but sometimes, in the interest of keeping the missile on target, the ship may not be able to ride into a wave as it normally would and as a result pitch and roll rate may increase.

  • 3:07 i could see the shell being fired

  • @w1d3w1k Yeah.  Much worse than the 20 Volcanoes that are erupting all over the world at any 1 time.

  • Great video great song

  • I was an FTM (used to be called Fire Control, Missiles) on CG-17, USS H.E. Yarnell). I'll have to get my old super 8 films converted over to DVD or something and post them here eventually. We had the same Terrier system with the 55B radar. I have some pretty good gun and missile firings from the 70's. One gun firing at night lights up the whole gun crew on the 3" 50's on the starboard side.

  • I loved there Terrier ships. My ships: CG-21, CG-19, CG-26 (Terrier), others: DDG-77, CG-72, DD-81 and CVN-73. DJGUNNER.org

  • @USNavyChiefETSW the "blue birds" as you called them are called t-sams...training simulaters used for systems test and pre-fire checks
