Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

Yes they are 2 of Palmerston's follies out there.

And neither should the beach. Note the fearsome hound that is out guard dog.

Nice sweater. [;)]

Interesting peek at the IJN BB's sunk or mortally wounded by the 16/45 Mk5/6.

[Cap Mandrake]

Allied BB's. Type 93 is the Long Lance, Type 95 is a sub torp and Type 91 is the aerial torp.

What page of the manual is that on? [:D]

[Cap Mandrake]

The cruisers. I kinda feel bad. [:)]

You should see the other guy!

[CT Grognard]

Well, one thing's for sure - Milo should start setting up wreck-diving centres on the north-western Australian coast...

[sprior]

This is a Rong Rance we have in the workshop at the museum. We think it might have been a training aid.

[CT Grognard]

If you give me the locations of the Japanese sunken cruisers, I can map those too...but for now it looks like Port Hedland is going to be in the wreck-diving capital of the world...

[Cap Mandrake]

Cool Idea. IJN cruisers.

IJN DD's lost in the 1st-32nd Battles of Port Hedland/Exmouth

The "skin" looks 3/4 or even 1 inch thick and it doesn't seem there are any internal supports. I realize they worked pretty damn well but it just seems clunky.

D-day -1. Weather permitting, we should be able to smack down Naha tonight and tomorrow.

The greater threats are the planes at Nagasaki, the WJD carriers (not yet spotted) and Kirishima.
