      The 3rd largest city in my state and one of its main ports (im not sure how many people lived there at the time but theres over 200k living there now) had a major power outage once due to some power plants being knocked out, so they literally hooked an aircraft carrier up to the power grid and powered most of the city with it.

    I was stationed on USS Nimitz from 2006-2011, in the electrical division of the engineering department. I worked on lighting and electrical systems all over the ship, so I got to know it really well. It's so much larger and more complex than it seems from the outside; the interior of a carrier is like an ant hill, especially below the main deck. I still have dreams where I'm going through hangar bays, ladder wells, machinery spaces, pump rooms, bilges, etc.

    On a modern US Carrier, the superstructure, known as the "island," has about 6 decks that view the flight deck: The lowest one, which is at flight deck level, is where the movement officer is stationed, who is responsible for coordinating aircraft movement on the flight deck. Two levels above that, is an enclosed platform where a camera is mounted that gives a panoramic view of the flight deck, and is used for supervising and recording all aircraft operations. Directly above that is the Flag Bridge, then the actual Bridge, and at the top of the superstructure is the Control tower, who coordinates launching and recovering aircraft.

      Israel didn’t want the US to know how they will execute Operation Focus. If the US knew, a slip of intelligence may squeak out to the Arab league. There were many different scenarios that could compromise the operation.
      At the time, Iran could’ve sided with the Arabs that would’ve made religion more of the reason to defeat Israel. Iran already acquired American military hardware by 1967. Maybe the Israelis knew the capabilities of the F4 Phantom better than America did. At the time, Israel were using the Mirage fighter which took on the role of both tactical aerial dog fighter and bomber. F4 was a high altitude interceptor that can easily look down and shoot down the Mirages and also a very proficient attack bomber.
      I’m guessing the Iranians had something to do with why the Liberty was attacked. Research vessels gather information and radio waves.
      Mossad had their reasons but the reason can be that they exercised complete black out of any form of intelligence leading to the day of the attack.

    For your end of video question, my thoughts on what I know about the doors are:
    If the statement is false, with current supplied information we can't correctly infer the safety of either door.
    Logically the information that the statement is false doesn't point to a specific point of the statement, just the statement as a whole. So if the statement "If this door is safe, the other door is deadly" is false, it could mean "If this door is safe, the other door is safe." Thus both doors could be safe. It could also read, "If this door is deadly, the other door is deadly", in which case both doors are deadly.
    Logically I'd leave the doors alone, because deadly is an absolute that I wouldn't gamble a 50/50 on.

      Assuming that is true, there are two options for door A.
      Option 1: Door A is safe, therefore Door B is deadly
      Option 2: Door A is deadly, and we therefore know nothing about Door B because the sign only provides information on the situation if Door A is Safe.
      Based on that, if we know the sign is False, then we can say
      Option 1: Door A is Safe and Door B is safe.
      Option 2: Door A is Deadly and we still no nothing about door B.
      If you must choose a door in this case, choose Door B as in any situation where Door A is Safe, Door B is also safe, but there are cases where Door b is safe and Door A is not.

      By this method we would consider VTOL-supporting carriers like amphibious transport ships that can carry F35 and V22.

It was a guy that I grew up with. I asked how long he had been on the FID and he said "a year." I saw him once and never saw him again. Because of our ratings and where we worked and lived, we never got to see each other again. During the time I was onboard, there were murders, suicides, thefts, drug dealing, and all sorts of crime. Like any other city, it wasn't immune to crime. Onboard there is the MAA (Master's at Arms), the ship's police. Sometimes Marines, but mostly Navy -- all carrying a 45 on their hip.

      Ball caps or covers are part of the Navy's working uniform. When a carrier is at sea, the cap is considered as a foreign object debris (FOD) that could ruin a jet engine so they aren't allowed on the flight deck. They also aren't required anywhere else except on the bridge where they are mandatory just for entry. As a flight deck guy that sometimes had to go on the bridge, I would have to make a long trip to my locker to get a cap and then make a long trip up to the bridge.

      @@sn4tx nice baiting but you're wrong. If anything you said was true, France wouldn't be striving to build a better stealth craft than the F35. Everybody wants to undermine the United States Navy with these cherry-picked scenarios that simply would not be replicated in actual combat conditions.
      Here you're talking about a submarine that has to hunt and kill an aircraft carrier. Where do you start? All of a sudden you realize right away how silly the "lol American carrier got sunk by diesel sub in wargame" sounds. The Swedish submarine had predetermined information of where the carrier would be operating, knew the composition of the fleet, and had the luxury of having time to prepare for the attack. In reality, you have to take about a hundred more factors into the equation to complete a kill chain on an American carrier with any weapon platform.
      The hardest thing in naval warfare is locating the enemy vessels. Even with all of our innovations in technology, it's still not possible to precisely track enemy fleets everywhere around the world. And since the Swedish submarine is diesel, there is very little chance it will find the carrier before it needs to refuel and resupply. In reality, though, the United States would simply use its speed and range to avoid any sort of sneaking submarine into the range of the carrier.
      But let's say for instance the submarine does find the carrier, however unlikely, it still needs to avoid detection. Even if the carrier is traveling at its slowest pace, it's still too fast for the diesel submarine to catch it. Cavitation happens for even the best and stealthiest submarines at 5-10 knots, with the exception being the United States Seawolf-class submarine with somewhere around 15-20 knots of speed before it begins to cavitate. The point is that even if the diesel submarine finds the carrier, the odds of it getting into a position to attack are slim as the carrier can outrun it even at a slow pace. And if the Diesel sub does attempt to travel above 5 knots, it will likely be detected by surface vessels or the opposing submarine and be hunted down within the hour.
      Next, you have to assume your weapons are going to hit the target. The diesel submarine might avoid detection, but the torpedo will be detected as soon as it's in the water. At this point, surface vessels will have launched decoys to throw the torpedo of course, mess with its tracker, and anything else to screw up the kill. However, these decoys are not very reliable, and will most likely be ignored by the on-board tracker. All in all the torpedo has about a 50/50 chance of a hit, assuming the weapon doesn't fail in-transit and was aimed properly.
      There are simply too many factors in a real-world scenario to really be concerned about a single diesel submarine. It would be a different story if there were dozens of them infested the ocean, but the whole "Swedish Submarine OP" is the dumbest excuse to undermine the United States Navy to date.
      It's a lot more complicated than just "lol get a stealthy submarine lol"

    1=safe & 2=deadly (sign is true)
    1=deadly & 2=safe (sign is unknow/indeterminate, in other words: neither true nor false)
    1=deadly & 2=deadly (sign is unknow/indeterminate/neither true nor false)
    The sign is false, only when *both doors are safe.*

    The sign doesn't just simply say "This door is safe, the other door is deadly" so that you can use logical equations to get the answer. It is a condition, the sign says "IF this door is safe...". When we negate that sign, we're negating only the condition, which means that there's no correlation between the two doors that we know of. The sign doesn't actually tell us anything about the status of the two doors and therefore we have no way of knowing whether either of them is safe. When a conditional sentence is false, it's the same as not having a sentence in the first place. Basically, the problem has no solution. Of course it could also be that the question is simply badly formulated, but in that case, the mistake speaks volumes about the people who made it.

The sign which says if door 1 is safe, then door 2 must be deadly will be false, since in this situation, door 1 is safe, while door 2 is safe as well. (meaning the sign was a lie/false) So option 1 satisfies the requirement of the sign being false as well.
      For option 3 and 4, the sign does not specify what should happen if the door is deadly, so if the sign is false, option 3 and 4 can still happen, as there are no restrictions about what must happen if the door is deadly. All that is specified by the fact that the sign is false is that if door 1 is safe, then door 2 cannot be deadly, as that would make the sign true, which cannot happen. The sign being false does not say anything about what must happen if door 1 is deadly. (e.g if I say that ball A is green, and I am wrong, then that just means that ball A is not green, and me being wrong does not have any implications about the colour of ball B.)
      I don't get what you are saying about the sign being true and false at the same time. If the sign is false, then options 1, 3, and 4, can all apply.

    There was also a portuguese submarine (barracuda) in 1983 during an exercise called "locked gate 83" wich was able to get under an american aircraft carrier (Eisenhower) that was passing by. The american ship was going to the mediterranean to replace another american aircraft carrier and so being alies, the portuguese commander thougt it was a good idea to stop the exercise and follow the strike group without telling them in order to prevent any soviet attacks. It turned out he was able to get under the ship without getting identified. The portuguese convetional sub was unable to keep the speed of the strike group tho and so when dettaching from the group it came to the surface and transmitted that they had launched all their torpedoes. The american bridge was concerned but they understood it was a joke. They ended up praising the portuguese comander and asking for it's recordings in order to study why had they been unable to detect it.

This means that there are 3 outcomes, both doors are safe, door 1 is deadly and door 2 is safe, or door 1 and door 2 are deadly. Door 1 has a 1/3 chance of being safe while door 2 has a 2/3 chance, meaning that door 2 has a higher chance of being safe than door 1.

    Alright, I think that I'm able to clarify the sign problem at the end...
    It states "If the sign is false, what's true about the doors?" but that is exactly the problem with this quiz question. It says the sign is false, not that the conditional statement evaluates to false. If the sign is false we don't have enough information to answer any questions about the states of both doors.
    However, if the conditional statement evaluates to false, then all the sudden we know the exact states of the doors. A conditional statement is false if its hypothesis is true and its conclusion is false so door 1 must be safe and door 2 cannot be deadly, so it is also safe.
    I have a question for brilliant.org:
    If the quiz question is poorly worded, it will lead to great understanding of deductive reasoning.

      The problem is that the sign says that IF (the first door is safe), then(result). There is no condition for if the door is deadly and there is no guarantee that the door is safe. The only answer that can be ruled out is the second one because we know that the statement that is on the sign is false. The first answer is possible, but so are 3 and 4 since the sign makes no suggestion of what could be true if the first door is deadly. #3 and #4 could both be true regardless of the sign being correct or not.

Assuming the logical structure of the plate can be trusted and only its truth value is in question, this means we have the following cases: If the statement is true, then both doors cannot be safe, in which cases the first door is safe ans second is deadly. If the statement is false, i.e. A ∧ B is true, then both are safe. In all cases, the first door is always a safe bet.

    If you're confused by the logic problem, don't worry, so was I. It's a bad example for someone who hasn't ever seen formal logic. In Logic, the "if A then B" statement is defined in such a way that it can only be false if condition A is true and condition B is false. A good example would be that of a warranty. Let's say you buy warranty for your phone that says "IF your phone breaks for any reason (condition A), THEN we will replace it for free (condition B)." It can only be a false statement if your phone breaks and they don't replace it for free. If your phone never breaks, then you will never know if the warranty would have been honored (i.e. the statement cannot be proved false).

      Regarding the two doors problem, the we are told "IF door 1 is safe, THEN door two is deadly." That statement can only be false if door 1 is safe but door 2 is safe as well. If door one is deadly, the statement is not provably false (because the IF condition is not met) and therefore would be true, according to the rules of formal logic.

      The example in video is a pretty good example of the logical nature of the material conditional.

As a subjunctive conditional, it is not properly explicated as a material conditional, but must be understood as a modal claim.

It's confusing to a novice because using common sense (not formal logic) tells us that knowing the sign is false tells us nothing about whether or not door 1 is safe or deadly. Only when we apply the arbitrary rule that, within formal logic, such a statement is TRUE if the initial condition is false, can we deduce the correct answer.

    The door question is, essentially, one of sentential logic. "If this door is safe, then the other door is deadly" is a normal conditional of for "If p, then q" where p is the sentence "This door is safe" and q "the other door is deadly".
    The informal semantics of sentential logic tells us that a conditional will be true so long as either the antecedent (p) is false OR the consequent (q) true. Therefore, the only way for a conditional to be false is for p to be true and q to also be false. Since we know the statement on the first door is false, we therefore also know that its antecedent is true and its consequent false. That is to say, "This door (door 1) is safe, and the other door (door 2) is *not* deadly". However, since a door being simply not deadly is not exactly the same as it being safe, since the former doesn't necessarily preclude any bodily harm just fatal harm, I think the unambiguously "correct" decision would be to take door #1, the door the sign is on.

      In context of the entire question it is presupposed that doors are either safe or deadly by necessity. Considering the reasoning you initially provided, door 2 cannot be deadly. Therefore, given there are no more than two options for the state of a door, door 2 is also safe. It is also to be noted that the states of both doors were questioned (as opposed to the most optimal choice for mitigating harm).

Considering the initially provided logic, we can all agree that the door cannot be deadly. This suggests the door can only either be safe or neither safe nor deadly. Since the door being neither safe nor deadly contradicts the dichotomous nature of the possibility of the states of each door that has been presupposed by the statement provided above, I would assume the door can only be safe. You are of course right in that we have to assume that all language is well-defined, however since we can neither test nor influence this from the perspective of the writers of the sign, I would argue this is a fair assumption to make. Lastly it is of course the best option to enter neither of the doors, since we have no reason to assume the writers of the sign were genuine, and can’t exclude the possibility of human error or false assumptions from either us or the writer.

      ​@@mr.winter538 No, it does not imply that. For the simplest proof, we can just suppose that both doors lead to the same room of death. Therefore, even though the door on the left is deadly (i.e, even though the premise of the conditional is false), the entire sign statement is still false. Meaning that in this case, the sign does not have vacuous truth.
      Further, let us suppose that the doors are disjoint, neither state being dependent or connected upon the other. Also let us suppose that a door can be safe or deadly, but not both, and not neither. Then, let us suppose that the door on the right is in fact safe, while the door on the left is in fact deadly. And then someone puts up the sign. In this situation, some people might say the sign is false (edit: I'm one of them, maybe you are too), since even if the left room were made safe, the right room would be unaffected and would not become deadly. So we have the situation where the left room is deadly (the premise is false), but the sign statement is still false. In this case too, the sign does not have vacuous truth.
      Thus, we have the sign statement "if LS then DR" (SL = safe left, DR = deadly right)
      In the first case, we had LS false and DR true. But there was no vacuous truth.
      In the second case, we had LS false and DR false. Also with no vacuous truth.

      @@fireblossom9618 That's the point. The U.S. Navy freely sails in the South China Sea because it's international waters. Massive amounts of trade flow through those waters and China is trying to seize control of it. All the U.S. Navy wants is free passage.... Just with a big middle finger because it's the carriers.

      I used to work for a company with GSA contract and it wasn't uncommon for us to ship to a carrier.
      I sometimes wonder how amazon has changed this mailing situation. They must have some bundling practices for shipments, but the number of packages being shipped to a carrier has to have increased massively since online shopping was a thing.
