Definitely go back and when you get there tell 'em, "I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all outta bubblegum" blam!

Bungo pete was not there when yee entered the straight. He's saying fare thee well...get you next time........ lol 😂

Bungo Pete Davey Jones locker, it's all the same gang plank to the watery deep. Arrrr

He's bungo Pete, he knows where yeee are

Hahahahaha, bungo Pete, you the best man!

Nice sideways rain.

That harbor where the ship going back n forth, you should attack that harbor. Sink that ship, then attack the harbor he was protecting...wa...

Mk24 Homing Torpedoes are Destroyer killers. They're acoustic so are attracted to the loudest propeller noise so destroyers, which are twin-screwed, are a natural target. Just make sure to stop your own engines when you fire as they have been known to double back and sink the sender. Also remember that they carry a much smaller payload, so they're not really suitable for large merchantmen anyway. Carry one or more in the rear torpedo compartment for use in emergencies when you're trapped by a hunter-killer group - you'll be running silent anyway and there'll be plenty of noise above you. Remember, they'll also be attracted to any decoy you release and any sinking ships you've already hit, so you have to choose your moment.

I guess this NAVAL game, would'nt model high n low tides. sheeeesh!!!!

Guess the japs were'nt expectin' ya...hee hee heeeee...

Good try on the seaplane!

Kure was not the major anchorage for the IJN fleet. That anchorage was at Hashirajima which was part of the Kure Naval District.

BgWas watching KZfaq channel Devin Horner play SH 4.. Former navy man, very interesting.

The real Conte Verdi was scuttled by her Italian crew in Shanghai Harbour to prevent it from being seized by the Japanese when Italy changed sides in 1943. She was then raised in July 1944 - only to be sunk again by American bombers the following month!!! She was then raised and repaired once more, renamed Kotobuki Maru, converted into a troopship, and towed to Maizuru, north of Kyoto in June 1945, before being beached by damage from a bomber raid on 25 July 1945. As you said, her sister ship, Conte Rosso, fared even worse. She was torpedoed and sunk off Sicily while transporting Italian troops to Tripoli in May 1941, killing 1297 people.

Last words of the Japanese Val pilot. "Shit! That's not my aircraft carrier I'm trying to land on!"

Although it may sound strange referring to an inanimate object as ‘she’, this tradition may relate to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew. The majority of carved figureheads over the centuries were female - baring one or both breasts. Sailors' superstitions viewed women on board ship as unlucky, but a semi-naked sculpted female form was believed to calm storms at sea. Similarly, a ship can be likened to a womb - offering protection to those being carried. Another idea is that, in many languages, objects are referred to using feminine or masculine nouns. This is less common in English which tends to use gender-neutral nouns, however referring to ships as ‘she’ may refer to far more ancient traditions. Interestingly though, in French, the larger the vessel, the more likely it is to be described with a masculine pronoun. *Une* goélette (schooner) - *Un* porte-avions (aircraft carrier). So, as Dr Ruth said, "I guess size really *does* matter!" Captain Ernst Lindemann of the German battleship Bismarck referred to his ship as ‘he’, in view of its awesome power. Or (my favourite theory) it could be because they are similar to women. They're expensive, need a lot of paint - and always have a lot of men hanging around them!

Gunboats are designed for patrolling rivers and are notoriously shallow-drafted - so much so that they are not particularly sea-worthy. "Rolls on wet grass", is the phrase sailors use, I believe.

The Bataan Peninsula was the last hold-out of US forces in the Philippines. The battle lasted 3 months before the inevitable US surrender. Of the 75000 American and Filipino soldiers captured, 10000 later died on the 65 mile Bataan Death March to Camp O'Donnell. After the war, the Japanese commander, General Masaharu Homma and two of his officers, Major General Yoshitaka Kawane and Colonel Kurataro Hirano, were tried by United States military commissions for war crimes and sentenced to death on charges of failing to prevent their subordinates from committing atrocities. Homma was executed in 1946, while Kawane and Hirano were executed in 1949.

Repent of this sinfulness. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in thy heart that GOD hast raised him from the dead, though shalt be saved.

Is the JC Penny in Bay Shore?

Akikazi was torpedoed and sunk November 3 1944 by the submarine USS Pintabo.

Yes folks. Hitler was actually the one who declared war on the US; not the other way around. It is debatable whether Roosevelt would have gotten enough backing to expand the war into Europe until Hitler made the decision academic. Without Hitler's somewhat rash decision, America's involvement in the war would probably have been confined to the Pacific.

Of the two intact battleships on Battleship Row, USS Colorado was not in port at the time of the Pearl Harbour attack while USS Tennessee was only lightly damaged because it was landward of the USS West Virginia which took the brunt of the damage and sunk (but later re-floated)

You should get the color map.mod makes playing look more enjoyable

Surprisingly an exciting episode. Thanks

That port yer gowin fer is small

Bunkers? Nah, sushi restaurant.

Akikazi is a post ww1 destroyer. Its name mean Autumn Wind.

Roman's 6:23 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus our Lord.

Damnit Jim! I'm a doctor not a geologist! woo we woo

Akikazi is the ship you are looking to sink, Clark Gable.

I know Scapa Flow has Submarine nets. The Japs will have them, too. anti-submarine mines, too. ❤

On a WW2 sub, fresh food lasted about two weeks, after the it was canned frozen and dried foods. (courtesy of google)

Prophetic statement: everything needs gas in the future.

I figure this game is about 1 3rd of the way over. Still 2 3rd's to go. lol "these black fingers are ready to dance!" says the hunchback mechanic.

MMMmmm.....Beeeeeeer.

Yeah those trees are a bitch.

Not much action, better to play it safe in the dragons lair.

There could definitely be submarines in your area. Radar may have called one out at close range.

Maybe they have land based surface radar. Shore patrol...

Damnit Jim! I'm a doctor, not some kind of radar man!

It's just a patrol plane Jim, don't lose your nerves now fer cryin out loud!
