Put me down for CL Tenryuu as my lucky ship. Pretty much the same ship I picked in the last game before GH's PC decided to die on him.

Hopefully it'd do better than it did historically and survive past '42.

Is there anything out there that goes into depth on the VT fuse?

Most of what I know came from bits and pieces of articles from history magazines I read years ago so I'm unsure about what's online.

The most interesting bit of trivia I remember about it is that developing it was as huge of an undertaking for the US as the Manhattan Project and just as secret.

I know that the British used to use wooden hull ships so as to counter the magnetic mines as minesweepers. As for detecting them, not too sure as when done well the mines are supposed to only sit beneath the surface of the sea making visual identification almost impossible.
