My son's ship...

[quote][quote]You're ALL deluded!!! Except for Ozzy. I think we know who the REAL winner is in the "beautiful ships" department. The Soviet Victor III class submarine... Ooooh... It looks like a 747 crossed with a sub...

Sounds like a good duty if they stay out of the Persian Gulf.... :-/

He's been deployed to the Persian Gulf 3 times already aboard the USS Wasp LHD-1. It's an amphibious assault ship that carries US Marines. But it wouldn't surprise me to see this ship end up in Persian Gulf anyway. He is in charge of the radar repair section of the ship. He's been in the Navy for 10 years now.

He did say that any aircraft getting with in 150 miles of this ship with a hostile IFF code will be shot down. He also said when he hears the Phalanx CIWS power up, thats when he starts to worry. Because it means the target has hit 15 miles and is still inbound. If he hears the Phalanx CIWS start firing, the target is at 5 miles or less. As he puts it, this is when you start looking for a fast exit location....lol.

Shkval on truck = bye bye cruiser


And we had a british carrier in Amsterdam a year ago... with harriers on the deck

[flymo]

ahhhhh i watched Under Siege last night, pretty cool movie and the USS Missouri is such a beautiful ship in my eyes to bad it was decommissioned

oh and on the subject of tanks i think that the leopard is the best tank ever and the Australian Army is getting rid of them  :'(, they bought a bunch of the Abrams and then they found out that they couldnt move them because our railways are to narrow, DOH!  ;D

[an-225]

Hey!  :D Chill Woody!  ;D I'm saying that I like British aircraft! Not this crap Australia is receiving from the US... Planes swallowing RAAF pilots anyone? *cough* F-22 *cough*  ;D

Didn't they have "only" 1A5s?

The only good argument for an Abrams is its german 120mm cannon. ;P

[quote]Hey!

[an-225]

No actually I wasn't. I was talking to any American in the thread. My HMS Invincible is better than your HMS Hermes!  ;D

[an-225]

I'm talking to the British (I think you are Woody) in this thread. Unless I made up HMS Invincible and Hermes... and no one knows what I'm talking about...  ;D

[Woodlouse2002]

Yes Invincible and Hermes are/were British ships. Hermes however was scrapped immediately after the Falklands war (she was actually rescued from the breakers yard when the Argentines invaded). Hermes was an older and larger ship. I knew what you were on about. I just didn't quite grasp the point.
