"The control panels lighted up like something from a spaceship--showing longitude, latitude, elevation, compasses."





Back in the earlier twentieth century, advanced technology existed in the form of larger, much complicated machinery. However, they were not provided to the entire public. Such technology was available only for people who were working for the government. The military used these forms of technology heavily. Military officials stationed such gizmos and gadgets in large vehicles. Also, they depended on them for navigation, communication, and locating the enemy. This is why I chose University of California, San Diego's "Military Ship: Carrier USS America", and this photo was taken in 1986.
