that's what 16" 3 gun station is.....
Navy peppered the land, then in they sent the Marines!!
'ooh-rah!'
here's another believe it or not! in WWII US diesel subs ran german diesel engines. it's a fact!Who doesn't?!!! If you don't like "Big Guns" then....
Believe it or not? Both the Japanese and the Germans had bigger guns in their battery on their Battleship gun decks than the United States did in WW2!
gota admit... their engineering was/is off the charts!!
you prob are right Cb - but they all had... bad luck!
You forgot cutting, loading, unloading, stacking and bringing up to the house. That's 7 times (potentially)
I’ve been that way my whole life, many people have been surprised I didn’t know how I hurt myself, and could only guess.
i always watch the docuvid on Bowfin! WWII diesel submarine. 'phew!'... them boys had brassMy grandpa was on a destroyer escort in WW2 I remember all his stories about depth charges, crazy stuff back then
in Pearl Harbor now, next to the USS Arizona
It’s because people are sharing their current activities and interests.
naw, i din't. lol. that all adds up to more than twice
and the saying is cutting wood warms u twice.... etc
That count is way low…
And the marines often found an unharmed enemy. They were dug in too deep, or the shells passed over them. Same with the Normandy landings.
Maybe for you.
come on with me then men!... let's head on out to the middle of the Pacific... end of Bowfin's Patrol #4 and stand along with Capt Phillips (L) on the deck of the Bowfin... his last sinking on his last patrol as captain of the sub. men celebrating as other men in utter dispair and disaster dying as their ship sinks, thanks to Bowfin's crew....
I was on two different Spruance class Destroyers when in the Navy. USS Oldendorf DD 972 and USS Fletcher DD 992. Both now Decommissioned. Like all the other Spruance class Destroyers.
When playing war games while escorting Carrier's. Cruisers refered to us as "missile sponges" and the Subs called any surface combatant "an easy target"
Winter... in Alaska... has arrived!We got our first decent snow day before yesterday.

I didn't stack and cover my last couple loads of quarters I hauled out of the woods, so I had to pay the piper by playing the sweep and tarp game.

Being a little meticulous. It took about a hour total to split and stack. We got'er done though.

A neighbor stopped by and said "Erik! You have a splitter be hind your shop fir that! Why aren't you using Hydraulics"?
I said, "because it has a leaky tire and needs air, but Im to lazy to run a hose and air it up"!
He scratched his head and said. "Your to lazy to run an air hose but not to lazy to split a pile of wood by hand?" Then he just shook his head and road off on his 4wheeler mumbling something or another.
Then I thought to myself.
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!
A search shows an American company designed their engine similar to diesel engines used in German bombers.

i was about to say.....I had a wood shed but my Squaw took it from me and turned it into her gardening shed! Now I just use pallets and tarps too! Well, sometimes.I always tell her.
