Tom Hanks is such a great actor. I think he produced or directed this. I wish he had insisted upon realism and hadn't settled for anything less. Oh, for something ...

Thank you for sharing.I understand now how and why the books were used. I am amazed at the skills of this model builder.

Can anyone tell me what the bars with chains hanging down from them are for? They are near the bow of the ship.

An honorable story for Veterans Day. Thanks for sharing.

Zovs, I couldn't agree more. Well said.

It would be a very eclectic music track. Fast, slow, dreadful, happy, a little bit country, and a little bit rock-n-roll.

<t> I led an advisor team in Iraq during that time. We were partnered at the battalion level. We have formal partnerships that went down to the company level and up to the 3-Star level. <br/>

If you have a large carrier force and the IJN is gone you can also move your carriers in to do sweeps. You should have plenty of fighters to fend off attacks on your ships with squadrons left over to do fighter sweeps over the cities you plan ...
