    Yep

    DD 224 USS Stewart

    Seen on numerous occasions by U.S. forces who could have "killed" it, but even after the Japanese trunked together her two forward funnels into a "shoe" configuration, and added a tri-pod mast, by those who sighted her deep behind the lines of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere....
    and I Quote...."By all that is Holy in the silhouette book, she was American. Plumb bow, flush deck, and two after stacks."

    Found at Kure-Hiroshima, lost at Soerabaja.

    The Scuttling charges failed to go off, and the Japanese made use of her.

    Wonder why nations sink there own ships when the situation becomes untenable ? Don't.

    your go Slip

    Oops, sorry about the delay, I've been out of town and so forth.

    Who said this?

    "Is this a step in the direction of an attempt to dominate the world by force?...no greater mistake could be made than to suppose that because of it [Great Britain] believes a war to be a senseless and cruel thing, this nation has so lost its fibre that it will not take part to the utmost of its power in resisting such a challenge if it ever were made."

    kind of a screw-up on my part...I meant the "Doll".
    Later he took on many faces, but the first one was a representation of a specific persons face.

    I believe that Jeff is correct on this one.... ( unless im mistaken, which would be a little embarrassing :D )

    Kluge ended his life a few months before Rommel which also ended his life in 44' ( forced suicide )

    Model met his end in 45'
