Was that just for the times when he confessed that he couldn't afford 'a little blow'?

And that has to be the long-lost-to-history Carbine version of the Rifle, .30cal, M-1.


Could be a T-26 or "Tanker" Garand variant. They made a few of these (top)

ETA: This rifle variant WAS used in combat in the Pacific:

Although the T26 was never approved for production, at least one 18" barreled M1 rifle was used in action in the Philippines by troopers in the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment (503rd PIR).

2 days ago we spotted a LYB unit halway between Broome and PH in the Great Sandy Desert. They are probably trying to sneak out.

At Japanese Army fighter command a full Colonel was sweating profusely as he looked over the grease board displaying the recent damage his forces had taken from Allied bombers.

A jumpy Major assigned to Intelligence was briefing the Colonel, the Colonel wasn't happy.

Colonel; "Both airfields wrecked? That is Sorong!"

The Major looked down, not sure if the Colonel was serious.

Colonel; "How could so few bombers cause so much destruction? Those airfields must be shorter than they look, from the air they look Sorong!"

The Major let out a long breath, the tension in the air seemed to lift.

Major; "I think those Allied bombers were taunting us, as they were leaving they radioed to the tower; 'Sorong, see you next week!'"

The Colonel's icy stare froze the Major in his place, he felt like a vice was crushing his heart.

The next morning the Major was found in his tent, he had done the honorable thing. Colonel; "I just wondered why it took him Sorong." The faces of the assembled Officers were as blank as members of the Choom Gang after a busy evening.

Let's hope he didn't get anything gooey on the carpet.


******Next Day, at the Major's subdued and dignified Odinist ceremony******

Japanese junior officer's gather in front of the Major's portrait on the wall. They lock arms in friendship and sway as they sing..."If roving you Sorong...we don't want to be right..."

I think I see the problem here - The current configuration will have problems with cooling water intake. Other countries have had much better results by placing their boats into water.

Yes, good point. I think putting the boats in the water would help with the stealthiness too. Still, there is something to be said for being able to order out for pizza.
