Those of us who think we are obsessed with guns as a hobby should realize we are mere amateurs...

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Holy *expletive deleted*it! He has exactly re-created the French fleet.

Oh wait, never mind, the French don't fight on land, in the air, or on the sea.

Not one single landing craft in the lot!  How does he expect to exploit the land?

Or does he just hate Marines?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Sure, put little red x's inside little red squares and say they are "stuff"!  And since when did landing craft get individual names?  (Well, besides "^(*@# bobbing cork!"?)

Tarawa. The stern is a dead give-away.


Tarawa class



Wasp class


Secondary obvious characteristics are the gun decks flanking either side of the flight deck at the bow, the tall island superstructure and stack configuration, the mast design, the vertical stern-gate doors, the label, etc.  :lol:
