Yes to the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this Lusitania but no to WWII- it’s too reductionist to say that the US entered WWII because of U-boats. Pearl Harbor was not because of U-boats. U-boats didn’t make Germany declare war on the US post-Pearl Harbor. U-boats did not dictate Japanese policy in the years leading up to their invasion of China and then the rest of the Pacific. And the list goes on. US did not enter war due to shocking sinking of Lusitania, a ship loaded with ammunition sunk pretty much right next to the british isles in legally declared war zone. People always call the M4 Sherman a death trap despite having some of the highest survival rates of all tanks during the war. U-Boats however, those were real death traps. Not to mention the M4 was one of if not the best tanks when it came to survival, with crew hatches fucking everywhere that were very easy to open and close

Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt

That’s pretty fucking insane. The merchant marines had twice the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this KIA rate as the army and that was “only” 4%. I’m assuming the casualty rate is pretty close to the KIA rate. There’s a walk in Liberty Station, San Diego, lined with memorials to US submarines and their crews. It’s sad to read the plaques of so many lost, with many listed as “on eternal patrol”. U.S subs are listed as never lost but always listed as on patrol and each Christmas a message is sent out to them to wish them a Merry Christmas This is neither here not there, but when I first heard of the board game, Axis and Allies, I thought they were saying Axes and Allies and it was a fantasy board games akin to Dungeons and Dragons

Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt: buy and enjoy this shirt

Imagine how much more damage they would have done if the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this mark 14 torpedo worked properly in the first place or if the issues were fixed in an apporpriate time. I am going to hazard a guess, that most of axis shipping lost would be Japanese. And the Japanese never implemented convey shipping thus their heavy casualties. This number could have been significantly higher had bureau of ordinance heeded combate reports and fixed the mark 14 torpedoes sooner. To be fair to the Japanese, to some extent they couldn’t. They didn’t have enough ships to both cover convoys and contest Allied navies for control of the seas. The neglect of convoys also makes a little more sense when viewed through the perspective of Japan’s strategic thinking that the war could be won with a single Tshushima scale decisive naval victory. Your merchant fleet ending up on the bottom is only a problem in a protracted war that goes years, which is not what Japan wanted or expected.

Here’s another fun fact: in the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this entire history of warfare, a submerged submarine has sunk another submerged submarine exactly once, when U-864 was sunk by HMS Venturer in 1945. This glosses over Allied codebreaking which was so thorough that we had to pick and choose our targets so the Axis wouldn’t know their communications were compromised. We would fake transmissions from spotter aircraft to ascribe to luck what intelligence accomplished. More impressive when you consider that you have a better chance of riding a fiery chariot to heaven before you death. I feel like I’m having a stroke. Like I sort of get what both your sentences mean but I don’t at the same time. Am I going crazy? “More impressive when you consider that you would have had a better chance of riding a fiery chariot to heaven before your death than an American submarine had of their torpedoes working for about half of the war.” Even when the sentence is put together more reasonably by you through inference it is still very very strange and near nonsensical. To explain the latter half of the comment, the American Mark 14 was the main US torpedo for the beginning and middle of WW2. It was stupid unreliable and plagued with issues that weren’t solved until way later on. Oh god I despise the mark 14. I wrote a damn paper on it for one of my history classes in college. Fuckin BUoRD. The torpedo had a host of design problems with many of them stemming from the dumbass magnetic exploder they wanted to use. Sure it was a god idea, breaking a ships keel is a near sink every time. Getting the exploder to work every time was a whole other question they decided didn’t need answering.

Now torpedos are expensive, like hella fuckin expensive. So the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this navy guarded these things like they were the One Ring. So they didn’t like testing them, at all. They did a few test but none were live fire. So then along comes Pearl Harbor. Well the pacific fleet (sans carriers and subs) gets all sorts of fucked up. Wanna know what else got fucked up? A bunch of mark 14s. So now the navy really REALLY doesn’t want to waste any on test. While the main fleet licks their wounds it was left to the sub crews to strike back, and well…… The torpedos sucked, like sucked a lot. I’m talking every possible issue. Torpedos running deep, torpedos running off course, duds, early detonation, the list goes on. Worst of all was a fairly bad habit of the torpedo circling back around at the sub that fired it. Not good things for your main submarine torpedo to be doing. Sub captains start modifying their torpedos, most notably by disabling the magnetic exploder (opting for the back up impact one instead) and setting the torpedos way shallower. They start getting some success! The captains start relaying this info back up to command and well…. BUoRD got pissed. Like HELLA HELLA MAD. It didn’t help that one of the sub admirals worked on the mark 14 and refused to admit wrong doing.
Long story short new admiral comes along, demands test be done. They found that the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this torpedos were indeed, running deep. They placed the depth sensor in a stupid spot and it was an easy fix. Next up was the exploder. So the magnetic one was found to work, somewhat if you pray to the right divine being, around the mid Atlantic region. That was because earths magnetic field ain’t the same every where on earth. So the exploder was pretty much useless in the pacific. Least the backup exploder had no issues, right? Wrong. It was at a canted angle that was prone to jamming at high deceleration, such as smacking into a battleship. So the navy pools their collective brain cells and somehow fixes the damn torpedo. And I mean like, it fucking worked. Every other nation had given up on using magnetic exploders (except some German models which also had some issues) and successfully broke ships keels with them. Most notable the IJN Shinano which was the largest aircraft carrier in the world, being built on the third Yamato class battleship hull.
The mark 14 would go on to be one of the Buffalo Football 1960 Shirt but in fact I love this longest serving torpedos and still holds the record for largest ship sunk in combat. I recently heard a pod cast about the Japanese in WWII. Had they had an industry like the Americans it probably would have been impossible to beat them. They had superior technology, but it was built by artisans in small factories. The places were the places were built was in a place where they had to be pulled by oxen to air strips because rail was too hard on the component’s and they didn’t have trucks to get them there. Also no strips. Something along these lines. The allies had success in a few decisive battles that cut off their trade and that basically beat them. The rest was dominoes.
