BTW, avenge is the verb (avenged in the past tense). Revenge is the noun - there is no "revenged".


Thank you, I know you have given a head-up on this before. Shall try to improve myself. Not easy.....

Not easy to give back on this opponent, either - he's driving a hard bargain......So were the Japanese, too..

It's just an image of the Star of Brisbane, taken from Earth, 308 light years away.

You are probably correct. We shall check with MacArthur's press officer. They (or our desk) are not too familiar with the Royal Navy.
Or the USN, for that matter.

No test this time....- or was it..?.. ..Or...have we been intentionally misinformed...?

While the landing party were ashore, Australian CL Sydney came over the horizon and took Emden under fire. The 6" guns of Sydney gave a range and punch advantage that doomed Emden. Emden's movements were probably also restricted within the arms of the atoll.

Emden was wrecked, but not sunk in deep water so the Germans landed their 105mm guns and called for help. I forget the details of their epic journey but they made it back to Germany on the other side of the world!

Status: offline 		Hmmm, it appears from that article that Emden's guns were not landed, but I remember reading about a German raider that did land her guns. Perhaps it was the one caught in the Rufiji River in Africa and destroyed by the 15" guns of the monitor Abercrombie.

EDIT: Boy my memory is getting bad. I didn't get the monitor right or the size of the guns, but the raider Köenigsburg was the raider and it did land some of its guns after being sunk in shallow water.
