Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin' back, from the island of Tinian to Laytee, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know... was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like ol' squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. \ So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Those 16 inch guns fire a variety of shells ranging from 1,900 to 2,700 lbs to a range of 42,345 yards. Aiming is done with the assistance of a mechanical computer that accounts for powder charge, wind, ship's speed, target's speed, humidity, and other factors. Some of the training videos are on youtube. Give it a watch. It's real neat, and gives you a great idea of how the machine works, not just how to work it. I've shot long distances..... Humans give the computers the variables, the computer does the math faster than what we can put it into it. The output kills the enemy. Some engineer had to design the system and the formula to give to the computer to compute. We are very good at killing ourselves. It's still amazing and I thank you for the video.

Jedit posted:It's even better than that. Winton's efforts remained unknown for fifty years because he never told anyone about them. I have my own opinion on why, but I wish to ask you and the others. What about doing an act like this and keeping silent about it is, in your opinion, endearing? Trust me, I agree with you. I just want to read your words.

Human mind is a kind of a dick and especially if you had to choose who you rescue, one probably blames himself for being so unable to do anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_guilt

Are you allowed to carry a very large caliber weapon in Australia, simply for the act of getting rid of errant roos? If no, you should have an armed revolt.
