It news that SG I (25 year ord who think know everything but rearry mostry crassress, annoying parasite who eat up arh of best fish-head soup and sea urchin roe and then spend money from $10 per hour job on cigarettes and Jameson whiskey at $25 for 750 miririters) rikery moving to San Diego because girhfriend that was charged with domestic viorence for sratching face of SG I (something that Mandrake-san wish to do 100 times but stop serf in tremendous dispray of serf controrh) pread down to disturbing peace so restraining ordah removed.

Actuarry, it was ridicurous case of prosecutoriarh overreach because any non-comatose human being wish to scratch out eyebarrs of SG I after 2-3 hrs or one case of idiot taking stirr damp crothes out of dryer and pracing on expesnive poor taburh. Both pran to stop drinking. Maybe this work but perhaps just improve coordiantion and aim during fighting.

Actually there was a pink submarine. I can't find the link right now. A submarine at Manila had been damaged by fire that burned the paint off the hull and left the red primer showing. Captain took it to sea any way. If the Japanese had set their depth charges deeper it wouldn't have made it to Pearl. In the clear pacific waters it was very easy to see from a plane.

I took that from a movie called something like "Operation Petticoat" (after the nurses rescued from Cavite and sharing the long voyage back with submariners).
I have heard that Hollywood got the idea from a RL situation. Red lead undercoat is an orange-red colour but Hollywood's script had white paint mixed in (shortage of paint) to make it pink - obviously to go along with the idea of women aboard. I am not surprised the real sub with red-lead paint only was easy to spot!

Actually there was a pink submarine. I can't find the link right now. A submarine at Manila had been damaged by fire that burned the paint off the hull and left the red primer showing. Captain took it to sea any way. If the Japanese had set their depth charges deeper it wouldn't have made it to Pearl. In the clear pacific waters it was very easy to see from a plane.


I took that from a movie called something like "Operation Petticoat" (after the nurses rescued from Cavite and sharing the long voyage back with submariners).
I have heard that Hollywood got the idea from a RL situation. Red lead undercoat is an orange-red colour but Hollywood's script had white paint mixed in (shortage of paint) to make it pink - obviously to go along with the idea of women aboard. I am not surprised the real sub with red-lead paint only was easy to spot!


Found it USS Seadragon. First war patrol.
