USS Baltimore (C-3 / CM-1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Baltimore_(C-3) USS Balitimore had a long and varied career while in service with the United States Navy. She was even present at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, in her role as a receiving ship during the surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). She would eventually be towed out to sea northwest of Oahu and scuttled in the area of the Musicians Seamounts on September 22, 1944. Recently discovered at about 600 meters (1,970 feet) depth, Baltimore was found upright and intact on the flat sandy bottom. Here is high-definition video taken of her hulk on the ocean floor taken by one of NOAAS Okeanos Explorer's (R 337) remotely operated vehicles (ROV), on September 29, 2017: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explorations/ex1708/dailyu...

Stokes stretcher.. Still in use: "A Stokes basket, also called a Stokes stretcher or Stokes litter, is a metal wire or plastic litter widely used in search and rescue. Its key feature is that it can be disassembled for transport in backpacks or by pack horse. Originally designed by Charles Francis Stokes, these baskets have been notorious for spinning under the downdraft from the rotating helicopter blades." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_(rescue_basket)#Stokes_basket Admiral Stokes, the inventor: "Rear Admiral Stokes served in the Navy from 1889 until 1917 when he retired. His duties carried him to Cuba during the Spanish-American War, to the Orient during the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippines during the insurrection. He was a pioneer in abdominal surgery and devised the first-aid dressing which the Army and Navy used in modified form during the World War. He also devised the Stokes splinter stretcher." www.arlingtoncemetery.net/cfstokes.htm
