I gagged so hard when the gray slop water poured out of the ration tin. I felt like that had to smell like rancid hot dog water mixed with kvas

That would be the Admiral Kuznetsov, most known for constantly being on fire and trying to sink, even in Drydock It has been in port for "repairs" the entire war and for some time before that iirc, it's the shittiest warship in existence today.

Ski-jump style aircraft carriers are pretty common around the world (a limited list, admittedly). The US and France are the only ones that still operate catapult launch carriers, iirc.

Ive always assumed that the catapult was but i realize now it was just a non critical assumption.

the catapult takes a lot of oomph and know how to operate, the slope is inferior at launching bigger and or heavier planes but a lot cheaper

CATOBAR launches maximize payload since the take off is assisted, while ski-jump launches you're flinging yourself up that thing so that you can hopefully have enough thrust after dropping to actually fly so your payload is massively diminished versus a CATOBAR launch. The Kuznetsov is a ferry for anything not a YAK 141, the naval versions of Mig 29s and Flankers fly off to an airfield so they can actually take off with a payload.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:It can't be stressed enough how incredibly, amazingly, shockingly, uniquely massive America's warship production was during World War II, and even then they didn't let ships sink if they could do absolutely anything about it. One of the big things that won the war for the United States was their extremely high competence in damage control, because it enabled them to keep their ships afloat and fighting.  As compared to drowning 300 of your own men to counteract listing in a fight you knew you'd inevitably lose?  quote:"But what about the Navy? What are they doing to assist in defending Okinawa? Have we no more ships?" Now feeling pressured by the emperor to also mount some kind of attack, Japanese Navy commanders conceived a kamikaze-type mission for their remaining operational large ships, which included the battleship Yamato. sounds familiar

I mean completely normal government s use them to insure that they're highly motivated soldiers are supported and inspired to continue to move forward against the enemy. I mean honestly I would think that a military is how you say weak if it doesn't have blockade units. I mean haven't you ever heard of the United States Army using blockade units in Iraq I mean they literally had to keep the soldier from getting back on the boats

Well, I mean, the Puccians themselves don't properly keep a record of everywhere they mined, and the sapper units sometimes mine locations without informing everyone else, which has led on several occasions to casualties and destroyed vehicles/heavy equipment

People seem to forget when we took a hard line stance against the Soviet Union putting missiles in Cuba the Soviet Union did in fact back down. Therefore we should take a hard line stance to Russia.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:People seem to forget when we took a hard line stance against the Soviet Union putting missiles in Cuba the Soviet Union did in fact back down. Therefore we should take a hard line stance to Russia. People also seem to forget it wasn't just a hardline response, the US also gave concessions to the USSR in the form of removing NATO missiles from Turkey. They were going to be removed anyway, but the Soviets didn't know that, and the concession was acceptable to them because it gave Khrushchev domestic political cover to escape a situation neither Kennedy nor Khrushchev wanted to be in. The takeaway here is that the Soviet Union is not the Russian Federation, and there is nobody running the show in the Kremlin that would find such a deal acceptable in 2023. You're correct overall, but in more than just one way

No numbers have ever been mentioned, but there's a few known incidents where mobiks (either prisoner battalion members or contract soldiers) killed their commanding officers/immediate superiors and attempted escape back to Russia. Some of them succeeded, while a few others were caught in the attempt.

There was a point a few months ago we were hearing about Colonel's running platoons. So with that kind of chain of command I fully expect that people have been fragged all over the loving place. Colones are douchebags. And running a platoon is not a colonels job so getting fragged is probably typical. It's very typical.

If and when ukraine breaks robotyne it makes the rest of the first line untenable. Ad they can start conducting L shaped assaults on the remaining area and storm the trenches. It's really good. With the way Russia has been conducting the rest of the war it is a pivotal moment for them to be able to get the troops away from the first line of back to the second line of failing to do so without taking heavy casualties will cause many issues. Because the assumption is a certain percentage of the guys on the front line will be moving back to the middle line.

Yeah, and for good reason. Apparently Japan's damage control procedures and skills were a lot weaker than the US Navy's[1], so I wouldn't be surprised if they simply didn't conceptually believe or accept that catastrophic damage could be repaired surprisingly quickly. The naval war in the pacific makes for fantastic reading, and if anyone is even remotely interested, I wholeheartedly recommend James Hornfisher's Neptune's Inferno about the Battle of Guadalcanal and Jonathan Parshall's Shattered Sword about the Battle of Midway. Both are also available as audio books. [1] not by accident, and not for free. The US Navy learned the hard way that good damage control requires a LOT of work, practise and institutional change, but they got unbelievably good at it. The USS Enterprise earned the nickname "The Grey Ghost" because the Japanese thought they had sunk her several times, only for her crew to heroically patch her up, limp back to port, get repaired in record time, and then turn up to save the day.

Ww2 ship damage control and recovery was loving insane, Drachinifel has some awesome videos about it. I always have a laugh when i see the Amatsukase, it’s the essential front-fell-off boat since literally half of it got blown up and the IJN just slapped some plates on whatever was left of it to form a new bow. https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/102l98y/survived_stern_of_destroyer_amatsukaze_in_1945/?rdt=60348
