It looks like there is bruising at the base of 1st and 2nd toe as well. Ouch. Here is the good news. If this Admiral thing doesn't work out you could always be a foot model. [:D]

Maybe he can get some sympathy from his wife? Tender, tender sympathy? If so the toe might be worth it.
She just laughed at me and called me clumsy. [:(]
If you push a pain argument with women eventually it gets around to labor, and we don't win that one.
That's when you bring up kidney stones.
A broken toe just sounds like a great excuse to play more computer games and drink more beer.

It was probably too much surströmming.

A molecule of ethyl alcohol?
I think Jocke may have had more than one in his system ...

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I was completely sober. I was picking up toys and smacked the toe in the living room table.
If possible the toe looks even more horrible today. [X(]

The S-27 attacks the Mogami not once but twice.
Pretty certain she is a goner. [&o]

This is not going to sink her but I doubt she will be making any more bombardments during this operation.

The USMC don´t want to be left out of the score sheet today. Considering Jeff is probably struggling with lack of fighters on KB I decided to nibble a little at the edges.

Unfortunately S-27 would be using Mark 10 torpedoes which have considerably less BOOM than the Mark 14. I think Mogami has a 60% chance of surviving those three hits, but might need to hole up at Santa Ana to get minor flood and systems damage down. Port strike when you get a chance (recon first of course).

Looks like death of thousand cuts. bit by bit you are whittling away at his forces. Anything you hit with a torpedo is going to have to go a LONG way to find a drydock
