RE: OT Looking to tap into the group knowledge

<t> Thanks for that i did think it might be something to do with either of those. I wouldn't mind about the nuclear testing it doesn't seemed to have affected him from what my mother has said about him although i know the safety precautions around the tests were sloppy. The nuclear testing actually ...

RE: Reserve planes

<t> One immediate use i can think of is if you are moving a squadron to a base with poor supply the reserves give you a buffer before you have to us the base supply to replace planes. <br/>
<br/>
I have also found it useful for patrol planes on cruisers etc. If the pilot makes a heavy landing and ...

RE: Bio on a person with mental health issues

Orde wingate would probably be a good one. But you could probably pick just about any succesful soldier and find something. Daniel sickles might be interesting as well because he used temporary insanity as a succesful defence for murder.

RE: CVE Anzio

<t> I don’t know how common it was for the USN to rename ships. But the next ship to have the name Coral Sea was CV-42 launched a year later. At a guess the navy decided that it was more appropriate for a ship named Coral Sea to be a CV rather than CVE. Incidentally CV-42 was later renamed USS ...
