No chance you're slower than VMart was.
Even his HR trots were waaaaay below average.

Gneisenau, based on her mainmast being attached to the rear of her funnel; Scharnhorst had her mainmast more towards the rear of her superstructure just in front of the rear rangefinder.

Great pics.
That's the NKC-135 Airbone Laser Lab. Was tested in the 80s to use its laser to destroy missiles in flight.

The Tigers had him and thought "no thank you." Instead, we'll sign this guy for $140 million

Rare is a bit of an understatement when it was literally the only time between 1943 and 1992 that the sisters sailed together.

Pretty sure a Spearfish breaking the back of one of those yachts would qualify as an accident

So we're stuck seeing some dumb jock talking buffalo yelling "lets go sports bar."
They could still be producing new OT commercials, but I feel like Goodell, Silver, Bettman and Manfred all told BW3 to never bring this premise back, similar to the NFL telling ESPN to cancel Playmakers.

And I thought us Americans were the ones to use absolutely every other possible object to measure with before the Metric system?
Please make sure moving forward all measurements on your submarine diagrams are in units of Kim.

100% yes. Now imagine the backdrop for those colors if it's snowing.

Are the Chinese starting a new tradition of placing differing types of aircraft under the mast for good luck instead of coins, like in the RN or USN?

Great story on Chet from last August in the Detroit Free Press
He was, thankfully, able to make it to the Tigers '84 WS 40th appreciation night here in Detroit.

The 2nd one looks like that all you need to do is clean the graffiti, mop the floor and turn on the lights to host another school function.

I'm just glad the Lions aren't everyone's fallback anymore for, "my team sucks, but this other team is F'ing worse."

Yeah, "concepts of a plan" was not followed up, nor hammered home enough by either the mainstream media or other politicians.

Can we just leave her there, let Cambodia have it? Like it's part of a SE Asia naval revitalization program.

Years ago, when I first discovered that there were aircraft carriers on the Great Lakes, I totally went down the Sable/Wolverine rabbit holes.
One of the few things I remember were the funnel arrangement being different.

Is the 1st pic USS Sable, not Wolverine?
2 funnels instead of 4 are the main visual differences between the two "sister" ships.

What's incredible is that he began 2024 T 90.18%.
He's managed to lose essentially 1% in only 13 games so far.

This makes more sense. I looked at the pic firsr, read the caption second and was confused because it may be the least vandalized pic you've ever posted. 🤣
