*** PHASER THIS LINE ***
 
A question : In one of the animated ST episodes, I dimly remember
Kirk & co coming across a "Slaver stasis box" on a frozen planet 
which contains various interesting and destructive devices
which Kirk trys to keep from the Klingons.  Does anyone know
of any connection between this and Larry Niven's Slaver stasis
boxes in his Known Space series?
 
 
Something of possible interest to the WWII aircraft carrier 
discussion, Saratoga was used in one of the Bikini H-bomb tests
to determine the effects of the explosion on ships. Apparently
the ship's island was bent down onto the flight deck by the force 
of the {explosion, wave}. I would assume it was decommissioned
shortly thereafter.
