the damn thing had to retreat because it took damage from destroyer of all things

Yamato: exists
Americans: time to spam aircraft.

oh boi

Actually the reason why the Yamato retreated in that one battle is because they didn't want to be damaged by American torpedoes launched from a destroyer that missed their intended target.

hmm

even though they had guns that were more then capable of taking the damn destroyer out

Oh I see. Thanks

Heel yea

anyone have any watch recommendations that are in the same areas as Europa - The Last Battle?

> Tirpitz, when launched, was as large as the Bismarck. Wartime modifications increased his weight by around 2,000 tons, making Tirpitz the largest battleship ever built by a European power.
@Dr Badass PhD all german ships during ww2 went by the male pronoun, dont remember the exact reason why tho

@Zilla it was because they were built different 😎

Also only battleships

SS-CL were like

Who is Ulysses S. Grant, and why should you care? Give me a moment and I'll tell you a story you might want to share. Born at Point Pleasant Ohio, in April 1822, his family was rather poor, and could barely afford a shoe. Although his family was poor, they were hardworking for sure. Often working at a tannery, the work was less than flattering. West point was where he went to school. He learned the art of war and was nobody's fool. His schooling was free as long as he fought in the military. Since he was not academically poor he was made a quartermaster in the Mexican American war. Having to supply his comrades with gunpowder and supplies, he rode his horse alongside enemy lines. When the war was finally over to St. Louis Grant went. To wed his best friend's sister Julia B. Dent. Then into a great depression Grant fell. How or when he would get out no one could tell. Freeing his only slave, Grant tried his best to be brave. Grant plowed his land until the time his country needed him came at hand. Becoming a soldier was the life Grant knew however leading a regiment came out of the blue. Leading his men to Belmont, it may have been a draw but at least it showed the brass that his talent was raw. Rising in the ranks, from Vicksburg to Shenandoah. Many didn't believe in him but to them he thought "I'll show ya." Earning the name Unconditional Surrender Grant, he showed his foes that if they wanted to try something they can't. Winning the war at Appomattox against Lee, he let all of Lee's soldiers go home free. There was a long road to tread, for the presidency lie ahead. He learned that war skills had more place for they were crucial in winning the presidency race. He did what he could to find the answers, until he was stopped by throat cancer. Writing memoirs of his life, he did his best to avoid strife. While this may not have been everyone's cup of tea, remember the man who defended his country from sea, to shining sea.


How was that?

Nicely done.

Thanks!

anybody here into coin collecting?

or is it just me

Methinks it may just be you. However, we have two huge coin encyclopedia books at my local library. They're the thickest books in there, yet deceptively lightweight...

hmm

its a hobby that pays off tho

[ba-dum-tsss]

thank you

but literally it does

I used to be into coin collecting, not anymore though

I collect odd coins and tokens.

ah i see

what kinds?

Whatever I run across, really.

I have a ton of old arcade tokens from when I was a kid, coins from various countries.

When I worked retail I was a clerk/carryout/loader, so I'd run across odd coins off and on.

i see

i collect coins of all sorts

i like silver coins
