Sussex spent 1944 in the Pacific, and covered operations in the Netherlands East Indies following the cessation of hostilities. On 26 July 1945 her Task Force was attacked by two attack bombers acting as "Kamikaze" suicide weapons. One made an imprint on the side of the HMS Sussex, from which it could be identified as a Mitsubishi Ki-51 "Sonia".

Kind-of.

The Germans used spaced armour to defeat AT rifles, not bazookas and the Russians famously used bedframes as protection from Panzerfausts. However, the fuses in WWII HEAT rounds were actually pretty lousy and were enhanced by having a standoff range to form a jet at a more optimized distance. Slat armour as used in Afghanistan was more designed to break up RPG warheads than to defeat the HEAT effects.



It's also worth noting that "bed frame" was just the colloquial term for them, and they were built in the repair shops for units heading into urban areas, since I've run into a couple people who interpreted it literally and thought the intention was to use mattresses to bounce rockets away.

And that only works with older models of warhead, where if you dent the side of the projectile you short out the conductive path between the fuse in the nose and the detonator in the base.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Someone took someone else's military ID and riveted it together between two metal plates, leaving just enough information to indicate whose it is, but not enough to make it anything other than useless.


To be fair, there's a perfectly good chance someone did this to their own ID what with it being the military and all.

When people forgot their ID cards we'd gently caress with them, usually drawing stupid poo poo in the picture, or tape it to the ceiling where they had to stack furniture to reach it, but that's a whole different level.

I love when you leave your CAC for someone else to use (oh shut the gently caress up you OPSEC shitheads don't act like you've never shared access) because it's the weekend night shift and they got locked out and there's literally no other option than me working 48 hours straight

Then some cheeky bastard thinks he's hilarious because he thinks I totally forgot my ID and freezes it

Basically I'm saying the CAC police faggots that run to hide an ID when a dude steps away for literally 5 seconds are just that, faggots. As is anyone else in the Navy Military

Like I just put some clear tape over the face and drew a mustache and maybe some devil horns

We only resorted to drawing when it was clear they weren't coming right back. If they were coming right back, that's when you send flirtatious emails to their supervisor of the same sex.

The more good-natured fuckery I'd indulge in would be to screenshot the desktop of the civilian secretary in my office and then just open the picture fullscreen. Oldest trick in the book but every single drat time, she'd suspect a system crash instead of me screwing around.

We also had a particularly righteous idiot in the company that took the "opportunity creates thieves" creed from boot to heart a little too much and long, going as far as basically stealing poo poo that was unattended for maybe a minute to claim people had lost it. He was warned to cut it out a couple of times.

An honored tradition had previously been to wrap lost IDs or weapons cards with sparkly sticky-foil which would be a pain to remove, but at some point, it turned out that the new standard of sticky foil had such strong adhesive that the lovely ID/weapons cards would have their print ripped off when removing the foil, regardless how carefully you did it. Shithead decides to keep up with his shenanigans until the reservist O-2 that was temporary CO decided to throw the book at him after the guy went through every single room housing recruits and hosed with around 10 IDs.

Added idiocy in Germany is that any charge under the german UCMJ that amounts to a potential felony under the regular penal code has to be deferred to the civilian DA in addition to any military proceedings. Reservist CO didn't think that "throwing the book" at the guy would cross that line, but it slipped his mind that "screwing with" officially-issued IDs constituted falsification of documents legally, so the proceedings were picked up by the DA. From that point on, every civilian in the chain of events decided to make an example of the shithead E-3 because gently caress the military. Guy got busted to E-1, dismissed and ended up with a conviction and a huge fine, loving up his future.

CO came back from his course at Ft Leonardwood 3 weeks later asking why he's losing soldiers to juvenile pranks.
