U.S. Sub Sinks Japanese Super Aircraft Carrier

[Mike]

Last ditch effort Japanese aircraft super carrier was sunk by a U.S. submarine less than 1 day after heading to battle!

The Story

[Truckman]

The JIN Shinano started life as one of the three planned Yamato class battleships...All three were sunk before the end of the war, but the JIN had plans for five more even bigger battleships with 20 inch guns (Yamato class had 18" guns)...As it turned out they were all completely useless as warships......Ben

Has anyone seen the new Midway movie?

[wacojoe]

I saw some awful CGI scenes in a promo for the movie. That was enough to make me skip this one and wonder why they remade Midway (1976), which was an excellent telling of the battle and with real movie stars. Nick Jonas versus Chuck Heston, Henry Fonda & James Coburn? Really?

[Truckman]

Sounds like the same production staff who made the guddawful Pearl Harbor...I can never get that two hours back...I'll skip this one...This is why I watch DVD or YouTube movies only, and I'm never disappointed...Stagecoach from 1939 is on today......Ben
