And the Vikings. I was usually so happy after the first half when they had a good lead. To the end of the game shaking my head in disbelief. How, how, how could they lose.[X(]

Could a US ship have spent more time at sea in a single cruise by beeing replenished at sea?
I'm sure they could have, but the USN was much more concerned about the mental health of the crew than many other nations, mostly because they could afford to be. The USN became the most experienced at underway replenishment by the end of the war.
No US ship would stay at sea for that long. Even the fast carrier task forces rotated back to forward anchorages, like Ulithi.

maybe i'm being overly sensitive, but i don't like people on television telling me what i do and don't want...
When I'm watchin' my T.V.
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me

Hi all,

Ok. Just back from seeing Red Tails. First impression, the CGI battle scenes were over the top, not as bad as in a couple of other movies I've seen but that is my opinion. The story line was ok, not great but ok. One of my biggest complaints, not every airplane that goes down explodes in a big fireball before going down. This was a war film not a love story. There was one but it was not over done. I paid matinee price for the film and thought I got my money's worth.
Thanks for info Bruce!
BTW, is the air combats in movie usual Hollywood (or "History Channel") Science Fiction not related to physics and history?
Leo "Apollo11"
Yes, the air combats per pure Hollywood. The storyline was ok. I got my money's worth at the matinee price ($6.00).
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

I will wait for rent when "Red Tails" goes to DVD / BluRay then...
BTW, I can't remember any good Hollywood air combat movie (where flying is not "turning on a dime" and in opposition to physics) in past few decades apart from "Memphis Belle"... ahhh...
