NOW i made the pic to mock a "holiday" (if you can even call it that) that i don't really care for (the reason it is in a periscope as if i am going to torpedo it). and i even said it is Columbus day in the USA underneath it knowing full well that given the way America does their holidays that days do get mixed and are often celebrated at the wrong day. also they never really cover Columbus in school (atleast where i went to school for high school and earlier) i expect that college may cover more on the subject IF i take the proper class Last edited by desertstriker; 10-08-12 at 10:45 PM. |

A lot of folks don't. That's cool, but it's also too bad, since that entire period of history is fascinating (most of them are). The whole interrelationship between the Spanish and the Portuguese over being the first to exploit the ocean trade routes to China (the Italians already had a monopoly on the land routes), with the English and the French a little slow to the table, is a study in national greed and the attempt to establish and usurp power, religion and politics at their finest. I've just been reading Peter Padfield's two fine series of books on naval warfare as a tool of economics. Amazing stuff.

U-49 Repulse Hood The Hood and Repulse were in the same Task Force, which I was out of position to attack, so I just took pictures.

Nice shots! Better luck next time... the Royal Navy still needs to sail places.

There was also the fact that I only had 1 bow and 1 stern torpedo left. I would have had to get really lucky to sink one of them.

Either you are using atomic torpedoes or the Brits have found a novel way to get out of the path of an inbound eel.

Great shot. This is something one doesn't often see. Now, U-65 IXB on August 10 ,1940 sailing on the surface at Kapverden , grid EJ54 between those two small islands on the northen corner of the grid. |
