Learn something new!

<r> Was talking to my sister in law the other day and she informed me that her dad was captain of this CV. During the Vietnam War where it served for about a year. Was decommissioned soon after.<br/>

Hey, Ross, I think of you all the time! IE, you're missed around these parts. I just pondered your disappearance yesterday, figuring you'd had your fill and moved on to new endeavors and pursuits. <br/>

RE: OT: Good book recommendations for newcomers

<t> To be frank, the game has taught me more about the conflict than any book. I have read all the history and will read more but playing a couple of campaigns all they way through has given me a much deeper understanding that no book can. When I read about the war now, I also visualize it in my ...

<r> Yep, had a crush on her forever. She was playing at the Psychedeli about a mile from where I lived in Bethesda MD, when Chris Hillman of the Burrito Brothers walked in and heard her voice. He introduced her to Gram Parsons and the rest is history-so to say. This one is my favorite. With The Band ...

RE: Notes from a Small Island

<t> The real problem is that since the big patch, Japanese fighters have gotten unrealistic upgrades in stats (read speed) while the Soviet fighters are not up to snuff-even the late war versions. Maybe one or two have top speeds just over 400 MPH but they suffer in all categories. Soviet aircraft ...

RE: Japanese ASW weapons of WW2

ORIGINAL: rustysi

OK, but the article says Japan sunk 26 subs. U.S. losses during WWII were 52. Where'd the rest come from?

"causes unknown" on one of the most frequent comments listing for US subs sunk during the war.
