Already, the Shinto-boys are consumed with victory disease and are bombarding us with gloating emails. We have them right where we wanted them.

Well they're at the strongest relative to us they will ever be and so far they've sunk 1 battlecruiser and maybe 1 carrier and damaged another.

See...how can you argue with optimism like that? [:D]

We(I) lost Lexington on June 28, 1941(c)..although that time we at least sunk a CVL and CVE.

Wow, that's an unfortunate start. Lose Lexington before the onset of hostilities? Bummer.

I am pretty sure Sgt Minderbinder had something to do with that.

It was sold off as scrap under a no-bid contract, then sold back to USN(c) for an exorbitant price on Dec 7, 1941(c).

So today I started my Couch to 5k journey. 53 yo, 6'4 and 18 stone jogging across Southsea Common is not a pretty sight.

Well, good on you for trying, mate. But nothing to be embarrassed about. You sound fit to me.

BTW, the "stone:pounds:kg" translation (for us non-English) is 10:1:2.2, right?

Of course! It's like the metric system for a 14 toed salamander from the late Devonian. Everyone should switch over

Splendid! When the weather warms up you can go shirtless and give Miss Funfanny a thrill.

Enterprise has 35% fire and can make 21 kts. Saratoga swims with the fishes. JJ has several options to finish off Enterprise.


I think we are going to need devine help or perhaps Sgt Minderbinder.

But then I stopped.

Well?.................Bluff..or...not?

I haven't been reading this thread regularly for some time, so I'm behind in my reading.

But I'd say 'not a bluff'.

Hope this helps.

interesting, Vals score 21% and Kates 2%. Assuming all the Kates carry the tube of death.
