The Douglas SBD Dauntless was manufactured from 1940 to 1944. It is famous for delivering the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942 - one of the most decisive battles of World War Two

Default IN honor of the day: "REMEMBER THE MAINE!"

RIACHUELO Brazilian battleship: completed in 1883.(<enlarges) Built in the United Kingdom, the ship entered service with the Brazilian in 1883; and was the first battleship with a compound armour belt, and remained in service until 1910. Theoretically, she made the Brazilian Navy the strongest in the western hemisphere. It was argued that the vessel could take on the entire U.S.Navy, pushing the U.S. to increase its naval spending and build its own first battleships. (Talk about an arms race here!) A similar design(offset turrets<enlarges) was followed by USS Maine (9 years to build??!!) and USS Texas, launched in 1889 and 1892 respectively. By the time they were completed in 1895, developments in battleship design had made them obsolete. USS MAINE: <An ol' Brooklyn boy's favorite photo: under the Brooklyn Bridge! Her explosive destruction would directly precipitate the 'American Empire acquisition' of Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico in the 1898 Spanish-American War...wiki et al
