@BrowncoatReaver@Lordoftheringsu When you read the books- especially "The Scouring of the Shire," it's quite clear that Sam was on friendly terms with the Cotton family and that they saw Sam and Rosie as a couple.
@JGregory2510@Dr_TheHistories Vespucci is credited as the first person to recognize the Americas as a distinct landmass. Earlier explorers had assumed they had found uncharted areas of Asia.
@GilmoreLounge@HiddenHistoryYT Most warships of cruiser-size and larger carried a couple of aircraft for reconnaissance and long-range artillery spotting.
@dnharper@NavalInstitute No. Most of the battleship fleet was still undergoing repairs. Midway was fought almost entirely by aircraft launched from carriers and the airbase on Midway Island.
@WorldHistory101@NavalInstitute Us torpedoes were also discovered to have unreliable detonators at the start of the war. They often failed to explode even when they hit.
@WorldHistory101@NavalInstitute Would not have worked. Submarines operating submerged were much slower and would have struggled to catch a moving fleet of warships. They also would have to avoid a screen of escorting destroyers and then hit a moving target with unguided torpedoes.
@GavinNewsom These people are actively calling for military personnel to rebel against duly elected leadership and you don't think that maybe there might be some legal issues there?
