You can't use a movie in a historical quote discussion. That's like bringing up Tie fighters when trying to decide which Jap fighters to R and D.[:-]

Convoy TK-5 moved past Hong Kong and is now in its most important stretch. Two days needed to thread their way thru the Formosa Strait and then on to home.

Man you have nerves of steel![&o] In future you might be able to drop at Hong Kong and from there it will flow to Fusan/Port Arthur if the Formosa Strait is closed on you.

There is little doubt that I, probably, will not be able to shoot another large TK TF through the Formosa Area. If I cannot then I am now planning on bringing the Fleet together to serve as a massed escort and CAP Trap to fight the TKs out through Dan's soft underbelly. THIS TK TF would be IMMENSE. I would work to bring 400-500,000 Fuel/Oil back to Japan.
It is gutsy but might be worth the risk. Will know in about a month as whether or not this will be the plan.

Hope you know I was just being humorous about the quote stuff, don't take it serious.
Totally. Just having fun. [8D]
I didn't think something in this hemisphere, on this continent would be so quintessentially 'tropical disease'. But that certainly qualifies!

Gatun, Panama is one of the worst places on earth for rain and heat.
No pics but I got a video. Posted it once last before maybe.
Alpha Company underwent several unit changes but we always considered ourselves "508th Moatengators". We also lay claim to "The Unknown Ranger Company."

Are you still producing ships ? Just wondering when / if you cut off all merchant building as its not worth the VPs.
Many thanks! BTW, my eldest son is a winter Ranger, and is deployed somewhere rather nasty right now. Not very comfortable for the parents to be sure.
I bet there are a few stories about the Ancon Inn!

Nice video. Thanks for posting. Although "Moatengators" is misspelled on the last frames of the video. [8|]
