The Coral Sea was a little different.

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side."   Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.

There is always something sad about seeing a ship go down, no matter who's it is.

Wasn't that the only time the Russian Navy actually sank a ship?  ::)  Other than Nuclear Subs I mean.

Not really sure where to put this or how to embed a twitter video, but this is pretty cool.

you have to paste the tweet into the window here in "text" mode, and then make sure there's no "?" on the end of the tweet with anything after it.

sometimes it'll still work if you don't follow those guidelines, but not reliably.

if you do follow them, it works about 99% of the time
