There, I just added a "just teasing" smiley. Is that better. [;)]

i personally thought it was funny - but let's just keep politics (and religion, except of course for the Threadian faith [:'(]) away...

Nah...I'm sure niceguy would just love to hug him and squeeze him and call him George. [:'(]

"Micely" put, Lennie... [:'(]

Looks to me like it could be the tailgate party at some college football game. [:D]

Well, no, but i'm betting Logboy's furniture is all wicker... [:'(]

[rtrapasso]

Quiet again... and no one has tried answering the quiz (what ship was sunk from being rammed by a submarine's periscope? What submarine did this?)

[Mynok]

I don't know without googling.......

[rtrapasso]

Oh, go ahead and google... might be hard even then... well, perhaps... [:'(]

thats because some of us non-comppoops have not spent useful time in the bliss that is LOG (oh and the Thread too) and instead get into strange arguments on the main forum about how sunk you can make a small carrier.

Ok Robert - google has informed me that the Seal collided with the Boston Maru near Palau which damaged the scopes and sunk the maru.

The Air Force admitted that they were researching a "gay bomb".  They didn't release the details. Hmmmm.....

Off to parade practice tomorrow [:(]

Twelve days later, Seal was en route back to Fremantle. She arrived on 2 October and departed again on 24 October to patrol in the shipping lanes in the Palau area. On 16 November, she intercepted a convoy of five cargomen in two columns with a destroyer escort and conducted a submerged attack on the leader of the near column as the formation zigzagged toward the submarine. Less than a minute after firing, Seal collided with, or was rammed by, another enemy ship. The periscope went black and vibrated severely. The submarine rose to 55 feet; hung there nearly a minute then started down. A few minutes later, depth charging began and Seal leveled off at 250 feet. Breaking up noises were heard. Four hours later, the area was clear and Seal surfaced. The high periscope had been bent horizontally, and the housing on the low periscope had been sprung, preventing its operation. The radar antenna had been broken off the radio mast. Quantities of uncooked rice and beans, unlike those used on the submarine, were found between the wooden deck pieces of the cigarette deck, on the bridge, and caught in the bathythermograph. The periscope shears yielded "a good sample of Japanese bottom paint."
Captured Japanese documents later confirmed the sinking of the 3500-ton freighter Boston Maru by an American submarine on that date in that location. Whether that ship was Seal’s target or the colliding ship is not known, but it is possible that the freighter's hull had been badly punctured by the submarine's periscope shears.

Are we sure they didn't drop the bomb on SF without anyone knowing?
