.@RepStutzman and I led a letter with the entire Indiana Congressional delegation outlining why the @122fighterwing in Fort Wayne would be a great fit for an F-35A basing decision.

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.- Walt Disney

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

17 April 1945, Royal Navy Destroyer HMS Bulldog.

On May 9, 1941, escorting an OB 318 convoy, HMS Bulldog, with the support of HMS Aubretia and HMS Broadway, attacked and captured U-110 (type IX). British sailors were able to secure a secret machine Enigma and code books.

"HMS Bulldog was responsible for the capture of U-110, her Sub Lt David Balme finding the Enigma code machine ciphers and code books. U-110 was taken on tow and Bulldog kept her afloat for 17 hours then let the towline slip. The intention was to tow U-110 into Iceland but Admiralty realised this would have been a massive error of judgement. In the event, allegedly, U-110 resolved the matter herself by sinking."

"German U-boat U-110 was captured on 9 May 1941 in the North Atlantic south of Iceland by the British destroyers HMS Bulldog (Lt.Cdr. A.J.B. Cresswell, RN) and HMS Broadway (Lt.Cdr. T. Taylor, RN) and the British corvette HMS Aubretia (Lt.Cdr. V.F. Smith, RNR). The U-boat was allowed to sink the day after to preserve the secret capture."

9 May 1945
"The surrender of the Channel Islands was signed on board her."

"She was sold to be broken up for scrap on 15 January 1946." (https://t.co/ZJSTMPlg0z)
