Quote"IJN CV Akagi undergoing trials off Iyonada, 17 June 1927. Early in her career, she was fitted with three flight decks; the two lower decks were later plated over in a mid-1930s refit. "



its a theme with them...

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The aircraft hangar of the Brooklyn class light cruiser USS Honolulu (CL-48).

After being lowered through a hatch on the stern, aircraft rolled on rails to their section of the hangar. The Brooklyn class cruisers could operate up to four aircraft.

Both sides of the hangar feature fold down racks. A good thing for the sailors who like to fall asleep to the smell of Avgas.

AR, have you heard of this series?

I have not yet read any but am very tempted.

^ I've looked at them but never picked them up. I'm definitely intrigued by a series of novels where the Russians look to be the protagonists.

Kirov has intrigued me too but the price point needs to go down on the first one - I know it's only 5 bucks for a Kindle version, which isn't bad, but a lot of authors have their first book in a series at a very low price, say 0.99 or 1.99. It looks very similar to Destroyermen or Axis of Time but I think it's still very intriguing too.
