<t> Just my own view but lets please be careful about current events and political discussion; plenty of other places on the net to have those. <br/> <br/> We have a great (and small) community playing an amazing game, political topics will wreck that. Let's stick to friendly disagreements over what...

<t> When looking back at what the WWII generation did, it is amazing. Just looking at going from a very small military to the dominant power in just a few years, hard to believe. Taking a 21 year old from Kansas who never saw water or rode in a plane and in a few years he can navigate a destroyer in...

ARD or floating dry docks and moving them? They are pretty much immovable in the game correct, or am I missing something? I mean moving them to another base

<t> A Nation with 1 billion people, nuclear weapons, a large commitment to developing science and engineering, a large industrial base (kind of the worlds assembly line in a way), large number of new factories and industrial technologies that have been build in the last 20-30 years, a record of taki...

In 1907 some young Naval Officer ran the USS Decatur aground and was court martialed for it. (Chester Nimitz)

Let’s try to keep politics out of this board; it would ruin a wonderful message board. I am all for debating ...

<t> Just starting a thread to see what military museums and sites are recommended. Also are they an "in the area" trip or "make vacation plans" trip? <br/> <br/> Some I have seen <br/> <br/> Iowa Gold Star Museum - Des Moines, IA History of the Iowa National Guard from the Civil War to modern times....
