  1. IJN Cruiser shadowing USN fleet exercises

    I was researching about another topic when I came across this from IJN Yubari on Wikipedia "In April 1925, Yūbari shadowed maneuvers of the United States Navy off of Oahu. American destroyers gave chase, but Yūbari was able to outrun them..." Has anyone heard if the IJN did stuff like this, and...

  2. West/East Germany trade w USSR?

    I'm trying to find data analyzing West German-USSR economic ties before 1990. Both "natural" business ones (German finished goods for Soviet raw materials) as well as any that might be part of the Ostpolitik (in case West Germany did "sweetheart" deals). I can only find post 1990. I'm OK with...

  3. WI (UK's) G-3's turned into carriers?

    Browsing thru Wiki, and I saw that the G-3's contemporaries (Akagi and Lexington classes) were turned into carriers per the Washington Treaty. If the G-3's had the same fate, any guesses what there makeup and fates would be? The UK had several carriers, so might scrap some older ones (guess the...

  4. PC: WW2 British jet bombers

    Could the RAF, if supporting Whittle early, have built a force of a few hundred jet bombers by the end of 1941?

  5. Clinton pulls a Putin?

    If the 22nd Amendment simply said that only 2 terms could be consecutive (the idea being the next President would fight to keep his/her/it/zombie seat), would anyone have an idea if Clinton would run in 2004 against Bush? Clinton seemed tired after 2000, but 4 years might reinvigorate him... I...

  6. Danton class

    The 6 Danton class pre-dreadnoughts were laid down after being obsolete by newer designs; your challenge is to either create a better class or say what else you would spend the money on. I would launch 4 ships, around 24,000 tons (original 18,000), 8 12-inch guns, possibly 10; original had only...

  7. Allied Japan

    May 1940 Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonai leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes wearily. He was desperately trying to prevent Japan from allying with Germany and Italy, but each day was harder, as the Axis won victory after crushing victory. And we are already on a war footing due to that "6...

  8. Spare US BB armor in the 1930's

    I read somewhere that the U.S. had 2 (full?) sets of battleship armor when the South Dakotas (1920) were cancelled. Does anyone know what happened to it? I want to write a timeline where the U.S. builds a few Vanguards with those spare 16/50 turrets...
