  3.  @Rammstein0963.  The battleships were the strategic target, mandated by Yamamoto; the carriers were prioritized by the aviators, led by Genda. There was a squadron of Kates with torpedoes that approached from the northwest toward the north side of Ford Island, where the carriers usually berthed, and some of them were fooled by the Utah into attacking her. The rest swooped around to the south side of the island, where that carrier in the October 41 picture was located, but only found the California.

  6. Isn't that US yard in Brownsville right on the Rio Grande? I wonder how many of the workers have questionable citizenship.

  7. There was SUPPOSED to be an RAF fighter unit on call for CAP if needed, presuming the force stayed within range; apparently Philips elected to stay in radio silence and not call on them.

  8. You don't find any portholes on plate armor. That is one way to tell where armor is mounted. It is too hard to make the armor with holes in it, plus the weaknesses it would induce. Armor is meant to keep the explosions on the outside.

  9. The 50 cal MG is about 12.7mm, so about 60% the diameter shell of the 20mm. The range and hitting power of the shell would be significantly less.
