Ever wonder what I-24 was doing off Washington?

********Deck of I-24, 02:20, Dec 9, 1941(d), 300 yds offshore deserted beach, Olympic Peninsula*******


<small boat pulls alongside>

Professor Higgenbottom: Now look here! I am quite certain this Chinese laundry business is a fraud. If you Asiatics don't tell me what is going on I shall contact my lawyer. I'm quite an important man, you know.

Captain of I-24: Wercome aboard Professor Higgenbottom-san. You honored guest.

Professor Higgenbottom: Look, if this is about the budget cuts in Foreign Languages I had NOTHING to do with that!

Captain of I-24: No, Professor-san. This-ah about Engrish. Arr about Engrish.......

He will be coming in the Bat Sub.
Possibly Magnum can save Mr. Higgins/Higginbottom when they pass near Hawaii.

Sorry, I just don't see that as logistically possible unless I-24 detours to Gotham Harbor. I don't think the Bat Sub has the range for a
mid-ocean intercept (even BS mark II or IIILR). Also, I always had he notion that Gotham City was in the NE somewhere.

*********Timetable for Operation Connie Ringus***********

Noumea: III/66th Navarh Guard rands tonight without any navarh escort. III/66th what Japan-mes carr "fungiburh". Aviation support in about 5d then Mavissess move from Rabaurh.

Nadi: 51st Navarh Guard ashore in good order..attack tonight. 53rd arrive 2d. 52nd in 3d and 144th Regt in about 6d then everyone march on Suva.

Pago Pago Maizuru 1st SNRF in 2d after navarh bombardment.

Canton: I&II/66th in about 4d.

Port Moresby: 4th Div and 2nd Ronson Regiment in about 6-7d. 3 BB's at Rabaurh wirr support this as well as carriers and 4 CA SCTF. Port Moresby is big prize so Arried-mens might come out and fight.

Norfork Isrand: 6-7d and AV to support seapranes.

Japan-mens predict when Arried-mens get panicked radio carr from Angrican priest or Postmaster Generarh on Norfork Isrand they rike..."Hory crap! New Zearand next!"

Before Japan-mens rand at Rord Howe need to get whore rot of crap ready because have to buird airbase quickry before Arried-mens get ovah pucker factor and attack.

Japan-mens need:

1) Rot of Korea-mens in diapers to buird airstrip

2) Mines

3) Some kind of shore guns

4) Submarines...rots

5) Carrier raid on Sydney

6) SCTF...maybe three because they have to go back to Rabaurh to rearm.

Will Japan-men have terrier TFs to catch rats freeing NZ?

The main obstacle to the continued use of the carriers is not fuel but ordnance (especially torps). I suspect they will have to go to Truk to rearm and, as already pointed out, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to operate as separate carrier divisions. Most likely, rats leaving New Zealand will survive to tell their grandkids

Only 2 of the 5 carriers in the South Pacific still have full torp loadouts. This brings up an interesting question:


Suppose you have 18 torps left in the magazine and 18 Kates on board. If you set the Kates to torpedoes and they fly a mission in the morning, will the AI switch to bombs in the afternoon?

OK, I looked. I don't see ANY non-static CD units. Quite an oversight if you ask me.

I brame Tojo.

What if we brought down a heavy arty unit with 28cn guns to Lord Howe, would that do any good?

yes they should auto switch to bombs without any problems.

Artillery will shoot at ships but they are not as effective as real CD units - I think the chance to hit is a lot less. But something is better than nothing.

I should go to the hospital and take the test to qualify for the new Electronic Medical Record "upgrade", but, you have to understand "upgrade" does not really mean "upgrade" in the typical sense.

It is a mandated change to comply with ICD-10 and the tragically misnamed requirements of "meaningful use" from the ACA.

If you just took half the money being spent on this crap and the literally MILLIONS of man hours wasted by doctors learning ho to use the crap, they could have funded a caravan of 100 tour buses full of doctors and xray techs and the like to tour the country seeing everyone without health insurance for free AND have about 20 In-and-Out trucks cooking up free burgers for everyone...and free BMI charts for the South[:D].

Yes, that has been my experience.

This whole EMR and "meaningful use" thingy....it's not about "quality of care". That's just the cover story. Don't tell anyone. I don't want to get into trouble.
