The CO choices for Norpac. Not very good for a land attack.





Wow! Plenty of choices for a REMF there. Although with an 'inspiration' value of 81, Carpender seems like a likely recruiting candidate for M&M enterprises. Perhaps an insulated quonset hut sales account manager for NORPAC?

Definitely off-topic Cap, but I thought one of these would look good in your restored backyard.

Apparently there is an auction of 20 tanks and military items at an estate south of S.F.
The pictured Sherman M4 is estimated to fetch $350,000







How did they get that missile onto it?

Kuriles and Sakhalin: S-28 sends one "up the chuff" on Yubari. I think this was a parting gift as they are unspotted in the morning.

Sub attack near Uruppu-jima at 131,56

Japanese Ships
CL Yubari, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage
CA Chikuma
CLAA Tatsuta
DD Kuroshio
DD Katsutade
DD Natsushio

Allied Ships
SS S-28


A low-level staff flunkie forgot to order the attack at Shikuka. Onnekotan-jima airfield is getting pretty beat up by the heavies from Shemya.

I thought his nickname come from the book he wrote after the war. The one that said Roosevelt withheld knowledge about the upcoming attack.

Adm Theobald, CIC: I don't care, Colonel. I will not allow the precious bodily fluids of our men to be sapped by the commie bastards right across the border.

Adm Theobald, CIC: Right, so here is the plan of attack. 27th Infantry Regiment will be in the van in line ahead formation. Even soldiers fire at targets to port and odd numbers to starboard. Sgt Clark will carry me on his back. I will give orders via signal flag. When we pick them up on radar..at perhaps 15,000 yds, I want 27th Field Artillery to open up with star shells....any questions?

Strictly out of historical interest, you understand. Seems like you ought to be able to "sneak" by Fusan and Tsushima..not sure about the other three.

quote:

The shortest distance between Busan, South Korea, and the Tsushima Island is about 50 km, as is the shortest distance from Tsushima to Iki Island, Japan.
So you would have to sail within 25 km of land to transit the Korea Strait. That would bring you within range of large coastal artillery.
