That is very interesting! You'd think that would have made mention of that someplace.
thirty7 said:really good pics Chris, that thing's a beast, hard to believe how sophisticated todays modern warships are compared to this class. 4 props each weighing 18.5 tons, unreal! According to the plaque it only saw 5 years of action, that seems pretty shortlived to me. 22 confirmed downed enemy planes is what I'm talking about! get some.
Yeah, I was truly amazed! The submarine was really cool too. I think I liked that even more.

That's a bummer, hope ya didn't miss too much. We pretty much had it all to ourselves.
