Suspend my Depends .....

This Sci-Fi action thriller is so over the top that I am trying to accept the young actors even know they are on a ship.
Listening to my Uncles stories of service aboard WWII ships and then disconnecting that informaton with the FX film..... well, one can certainly loose control of certain body functions if drinking of controlled subtances are used. :red:
The video did show some very clear illustrations of the Mighty Mo in dry dock.
Did anyone note the hull damage ( big dings ) below the Dixie ports?

Hey give her a break, she's pushing 70 years old!“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

Bought the movie when it came out. Watched the special features, and it has one titled "VIP tour of USS Missouri". Pretty cool, goes through some different places on the ship and in most, they had someone who served there to tell about it.
The engine rooms were hosted by a guy who says he was Chief Engineer in the late 80's, I guess. Don't remember the time frame if he said it.
What I do remember is his speed claim: He said while the ships were rated at 33 knots, they actually did 38 knots in trials after reactivation, and claims there was even more left!

American Battleship.... referred to as a movie
First cool night in the Midwest over the weekend and managed to nest on the sofa after a pleasant day winterizing stuff.
Netflix offered a movie called "American Battleship". Offered a senario with the IOWA being retired from service but a mission unknowingly awaited her service after the Enterprise fleet was sunk by aliens...... :confu:
Special effects rated - very poor
Story line rated - OMG who writes this stuff
Film footage of the IOWA with hull number "63" - Priceless
This let's you know that it was a cool night in Missouri
