RE: ok, where is this.. NOt a quiz

<t> Let me put it this way. After the bombing, the USS Arizona had much of the superstructure / turrets above the water line cut away. If I recall correctly, these and additional pieces of the wreckage&nbsp; that were removed from the ship during the construction of the memorial were transported to ...

RE: ok, where is this.. NOt a quiz

<r> I do not know where I got this picture from (maybe this forum) but it is a good one. Shows the oil leak very well. Has anyone found the parts of the superstructure that was cut off in 1942, and the sixties. That were dumped on Fords Island using Google earth?<br/>

Tree v Yammy PH Attack Questions

<t> I know this is a touchy subject. I do not want to start any trouble, BUT I have some questions. Are the BB's that are reported "sunk" really sunk, or are they FOW sunk and still afloat? With the new AE shipyard and damage repair routine can these actually sunk BB's be refloated and repaired in ...

One more PT Boat Question

<t> Hello, playing Stock 15 all patched up. It is late June 1942, and I am wanting to stop the tri-weekly nuke bombardment of Port Moresby by IJN Battlewagons. The HR is 16 PT's per port. What is the best way to deploy these PT Boats. A single TF of 16? Two TF of 8 PT's? Three TF of 4, on down the ...

Picture of us at DC Metro Witp Summit

<r> The first DC area summit went off with out a hitch, and a good time was had by all. We had six show. AW1Steve, Asqerix, Skewball, Tallyman662, SimonDC, and DE679. We had to separate the JFB's to the far side of the table. They kept mumbling something about KB this and mini KB that. Grumble ...

My Bad, Crapital City just a nick name between friends. It has some very good dark beers. Sat afternoon is a good time.

PS. Should we invite Terminus? Maybe he will fly over. We can buy him one to many, then he might divulge AE release date? [:)]

USS Crescant City

<r> Hello, several months ago I went back to Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, Ca to check out where I used to work. It was very depressing to see how run down and abandoned she is now compared to the spit and polish I remember. As I was driving up there was this fine looking ship tied up to ...
