"You American haters bore me to tears, Ms. Barham. I've dealt with Europeans all my life. I know all about us parvenus from the States who come...
I just hope and pray the CGI directors and artists get it right. They've screwed up every CGI aerial combat film, ever.
Eyewitness' reported that the chief electrician attempted to centralize the circuit breakers to one panel.
They did that with LST's and other assorted craft. Howitzers, rocket launchers, even tanks firing. Thing is, the range is too short to do a lot...
Considering how the pickets got hammered off Okinawa, it's apparent the pilots, untrained in ship ID, and of course in their mental state, dived...
There were still a lot of kamikaze assets still stashed away. The closer the bombardment forces got, the more risk assumed, less reaction time....

Where the Montana's might have been very useful, is if Operation Downfall had needed to take place. The allies would have likely wanted as many...

Where did that come from? This is a thread about naval warfare, so i see no reason to include the Imperial Army since we're talking about...

What did the Skate shoot at? If you're talking about the Shinano, that was Archerfish.
A few on the table. Maurader Man by Ken Brown. How many B-26 memoirs are there? Resurrection by Dan Madsen. Story of salvaging the fleet at...
And then there's the loss of the USS Houston and HMAS Perth. In the beginning neither side knew the other was there till the allied ships were...
True, just look at the Shinnano. Four torpedoes hitting the seam of the two armor belts, and belly up.
The Iowa can also fire faster, so even if she closes the distance, the Yamato has to try to hit a faster, more manouverable ship that shoots...
Also the pics of the Sea Hurricanes.
