NavyOnLine "Communities Of Interest"
Here is a laundry list of the commands involved in bringing Naval
information online via the WWW. There are more Navy sites coming
online very soon. Please check the
NavyOnLine Home Page to monitor the changes. Select any of the
links below to go to a more detailed description of what
each "node" is involved in.
- NAVCOMTELSTA
Pensacola
(NCTS Pensacola)
- Paul Everitt (paul.everitt@ncts.navy.mil) and the NCTS group
have a www/gopher/ftpserver running on a Sun under SunOS 4.1.3.
They are using NCSA httpd1.2 to serve up a variety of things. On
the client side, they are running Mosaic 2.4 for X (on SunOS),
WinMosaic, and Lynx. The physical home of NavyOnLine, NCTS is
constantly working on improving their resources and will have
several T1 lines online very soon.
- Navy
Office of Information (NAVPALIB)
- CAPT Tim Taylor (tim.taylor@ncts.navy.mil) has gone to Europe,
but he and his heirs are serving up a vast array of information;
the Navy Public Affairs Library is completely online. This is an
expansive resource about the Navy and contains some really valuable
information for the public as well as Naval personnel. Check out
the complete
list of news services from NAVPALIB.
- Space and Naval Warfare
Systems Command (SPAWAR)
- Andre' Doles (dolesa@smtp-gw.spawar.navy.mil) at SPAWAR is
working has vastly improved their central WWW server by putting
the command newsletter, phone directory, and other pertinent
information online. This is also the clearinghouse for many
valuable Web services as well as the showcase for some cutting
edge Naval Reserve information.
- Space and Naval Warfare
Systems Command, Code 30 (SPAWAR 30)
- ENS Eric Bach (bach@nosc.mil) may be wandering around the
Navy looking for a new home, but he still remotely manages this
server which includes an organizational breakdown of SPAWAR 30's
structure as well as the code's phone list. There are also
some neat tidbits of Naval Aviation on this server as well as
a small collection of U.S. Armed Forces medals.
- Naval
Command Control and Ocean Surveillance Center
(NCCOSC)
- The various commands in the NCCOSC family are all online
via the WWW. More to follow...but check out:
- Naval Sea Systems
Command (NAVSEA)
- NAVSEA is online with their Computer-Aided Engineering
Division and their Hydrodynamics Branch servers. Look for
more interesting stuff from the NAVSEA folks soon.
(Note: access restricted to .navy and .nosc.mil domains
at present)
- Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD)
- Bruce Copeland (bc@dias.nswc.navy.mil) has a great server
up and running and soon hopes to link the Public Affairs Office
in with his efforts, as well as the other Warfare Centers. There
are already several servers set up for the command.
(Note: access restricted to .navy and .nosc.mil domains
at present)
- Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Port Hueneme Division (PHD NSWC)
- Ev Batey (efb@suned1.nswses.navy.mil) has a nice little
setup for the Port Hueneme folks out in California. Ev and
his folks possess a great deal of computing knowledge and can
serve as great reference for any questions.
-
Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)
- LCDR Don Brutzman (brutzman@nps.navy.mil) has the NPS
Computer Science department anonymous ftp server set up for a
WWW interface. Included are papers, theses, images, voice clips
and special software. Projects represented include the NPSNET
virtual world battlefield, Distributed Interactive Simulation
(DIS) protocol implementations, the NPS Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle (AUV) and Multicast BackbONE (MBONE) which permits
audio/video/whiteboard over the Internet. Other projects at
the "Navy's University" are being added as available.
- Naval Research Laboratory
(NRL)
- NRL is up and running with some good information available.
They have an extensive network of WWW servers that spans
their different codes/acitvities. Go to their complete organizational chart
. Contact Joe Bradley (bradley@ait.nrl.navy.mil) for more
info.
NOTES
- folks browsing from within a Navy site not listed above
are urged to ask their system administrators why your command
is not yet a part of the ever-expanding NavyOnLine project - for
more info, email us at navyonline@ncts.navy.mil
- This page will most likely be incorporated into the
NavyOnLine Working
Group family of pages in the near future. ENS Bach is
presently working in the Public Affairs Office at Chief of Naval
Education and Training in Pensacola, Florida. He will start
Supply Officer School in Athens, Georgia, 17OCT1994.
- there are many people interested in the use of the WWW and
the Internet in federal government, as noted by the
conference in D.C. 15 Dec 1993.
- check out the NavyOnLine prototype
CLICKABLE MAP!
A different format should be devised to include all the
activities that have popped up.
