The first step to fixing a problem is admitting that you have one.
Now that's the kind of moderation that I was hoping for. *Grabs popcorn*

You don't define this post as embarrassing?

Almost anything they post is embarrassing.

And now it's going to be moderated, but apparently we can't be funny while we're at it.
I trust T__A to be at least amusing with his moderation. It should be funny. We might just get to see it sooner than we thought...

That's pretty cool. Some of the other pics shows very little decay to a lot of the ship!
That's DEEP!
That tractor looks like it's ready for @Walter_Sobchak to take a shot at getting it running.

Oh wow. This is a fucking cool shot from above the wreck of the Hornet. Note how intact the wreck is, with the island largely intact. Some of the stern is missing, or crumpled in the sonar shadow. But man, for a ship that took such a beating she looks largely intact. @Collimatrix, @A. T. Mahan,

USNI article on how to salvage the LCS hulls in service as practical warships. Focus them on surface strike with NSMs and have them counter other smaller ships in littorals.

@Toxn Do you happen to have a picture of the tapestry showing the Russian volunteer contingent at the Battle of Adwa being strong, Orthodox bros with the Ethiopians and sticking it to the filthy papists?
That sounds like an interesting story. Could you or Toxn elaborate?

Can anyone teach me how to write scripts, like for movies, or can anyone refer me to a website about script writing?

Re: USS Roanoke. It's too bad the Worcester class armament failed. They were really cool ships. I've read that the 6"/47 didn't work well for AA. Supposedly they built it to reach German bombers dropping standoff munitions like Hs 293 and Fritz X but couldn't fire fast at high angles.
Des Moines class armament is cooler. Evidently they had to decide between the destructiveness of 8" fire against cruisers and Kongo class BCs and the rate of fire needed to stop DD torpedo attacks. Instead of one or the other they chose both, an 8" with 10rpm.
Yeah 90 rounds per minutes of 203mm HE will fuck all the things up.

That approach speed was super fast. The flex when the fuselage came apart was pretty brutal.
Edit: I wonder if the wing sweep mechanism failed? I couldn't tell if the wings were fully deflected forward.

The total weight is <33g, so maybe a small firecracker? Small-ish suicide UAVs have been done before, of course
Thermite, or a small FAE charge?
