Slighty off topic, but the Director of Naval History just put this out:

Navy Hellcat pilot Donald McPherson passed away on 14 August 2025 at age 103. He was the last known U.S. “ace” (of any service) from World War II. Flying the F6F-5 Hellcat of Fighter Squadron EIGHT THREE (VF-83) off USS ESSEX ...

My dad was a aviation radio man on PBY's He was in TANGIER in Noumea and Espirito Santo and in HALF MOON in Guadacanal and New Georgia. Transferred stateside in 1944 to teach at radio school

My uncle was a dauntless pilot in 1944-1945. I don't know which squadron or ship, but he was in the Pacific ...

1.0.2.1 reverts back to crashing shortly after startup. 1.0.2.0 was working fine

Seems to be working with 1.0.2.0. I won't be able to try a full game for a while, but for the first couple of minutes, it is working as would be expected.

1.0.1.9 did not help

Within a couple of minutes, the game exits to the desktop. I have updated to 1.0.1.8

Ok thanks. And bbfanboy, thanks for the instructions for posting screenshots.

<t> Now I feel dumb. I tried a hex with enemy units, and yes, it works. However, the problem still exists in a hex that had a enemy unit, but the unit was "eliminated by attrition". I had units with order of bombard and they still show as having orders to bombard which I cannot change.<br/>
Thanks ...

I can't figure out how to post a screen shot. Yes, original first then the patches. I have been playing this version of the game for years. The game version is 1.8.11.26b sep 17 2016

<t> A problem just appeared in my game. I cannot change the combat orders of any LCU. I have restarted the computer and game, and have tried different scenarios with no improvement. When I open the LCU screen, the screen appears normal except it only shows "combat orders defend" greyed out.<br/>
I ...

<t> I'm not sure he had sonar, at least wiki says the ship got sonar in 1966. The article I read said his ship was the only ship in the convoy with HF/DF which was probably the reason the Convoy Commander was so concerned. As far as Raney's career, the Convoy Commander was RN and would not have much ...

<t> Attached are the Director of Naval History comments on the movie--scene by scene. It is a long read because the comments are on the director's cut, the rough cut, and the script in that order. His opening line: "The recent Midway movie was a commercial success, and for the first time in decades ...

My grandkids tell me that you can get different characters in different countries. A sailor may spend a lot of time at sea, but the sailor will also make a lot of port visits.

According to their website, Commodore Kyd will wear the rank of Captain while performing his duties as Commanding Officer of QUEEN ELIZABETH.
The abbreviation for Commodore is CDRE, for Commander is CDR

<t> It is worth trying out removing -dd_sw . It solved the problem for me with only a minor slow down in the mouse interface. <br/>
<br/>
I don't know what has happened over the years, but, I was experiencing the very slow mouse interface when I first entered -dd_sw, but not now, just a minor ...

Not sure if this meets the movie criteria: Victory at Sea

<t> We may be getting close to agreement, but, the Navy does not consider International Rules of the Road as advisory:<br/>
Department of the Navy Regulations:<br/>
<br/>
"§700.1120 Rules for preventing collisions, afloat and in the air.<br/>
(a) All persons in the naval service responsible for ...

<t> In this hypothetical, all mariners have a responsibility to prevent an accident, whether navy or civilian. In most cases, civilians will acknowledge that navies probably have better resources and will follow the recommendation of the navy, but there is no special requirement. So far there is no ...

Yours is a new theory. The International Rules of the Road apply to all vessels, the U.S. Navy are not traffic cops and are not recognized as such by international conventions. In other matters, such as piracy, all navies have a role in policing the seas.

<t> They would/should be fully capable of maintaining a accurate picture of both the subsurface and surface environment whenever at sea. If your hypothetical is correct, it would mean that person/persons were not doing their job. <br/>
Now I have heard from one source, but have not seen ...
