Here is a very interesting picture, one of the few times where a carrier was ever targeted by hostile battleships. We see USS White Plains, a CVE, being bracketed by main-caliber battleship shells. The pic was taken from USS Kitkun Bay during the last stand of Taffy 3 at Leyte. Some things say those are 18.1 shells from Yamato. Others say they could be 16in shells from Nagato, or 14in shells from Kongo or Haruna. To note, the smaller BBs used dye loads in their shells for identifying purposes, while the Yamato did not. It's guns would make the biggest splashes and would therefore be easier to distinguish from its compatriots. In the picture, it doesn't look like the splashes are tinted at all. So which ship of the four is making those, any ideas?

I like this guy; mostly unbiased and great details you can't find unless you read many journals.

Hey all! We have a brand new United States clan on PvP 2 called the "United States Navy" (USN). We are growing by about 10 members a day and are willing to help every single member who joins in any way we can. Our primary focus as a clan is to eventually start capturing all major ports along Florida's coastline, the Bahamas and north eastern parts of Cuba. Once we gain a significant chunk of territory, we will shift our focus into trade and exploration of ports along the South American Coastlines. All players, new or experienced, are welcome to join! Send me a message in game on PvP server 2 or reply with your characters name here so I can send you an invite!

PVP2 - Clan [uSN] - join us here! UNITED STATES NAVY CROWN HAVEN NAVAL STATION, NORTHERN BAHAMAS AFTER ACTION REPORT FROM: JLAM, Ensign, USN SUBJECT: ANTI-PIRACY PATROL01Feb16 1) Lt. McPrankster, En. JLAM, En. Joshua Barney, and En. Ahlos Dahel, organized an anti-piracy operation approximately three hours prior to this posting. It involved approximately 9 USN particpants (both officer and enlisted) as well as over a dozen citizens of the USA. People were ready to fight the pirates, but lacked leadership and direction- they quickly answered the call to battle once a unified force was acting. 2) The pirates operated out of Cabo Canaveral, and used a Basic Cutter as a scout vessel. The cutter would spot targets, and engage them. The main pirate task force (two Cerberus, one Renommee, one Snow) would then launch from inside the port and attack the target. They appeared to primarily target NPC trade vessels, but also attacked vulnerable player trade vessels. This pirate group had been operating up and down the Florida coast for most of the day, and were spotted well beforehand near the Bahamas. After the operations, they were seen sailing southeast towards or near Walker's Cay in the northern Bahamas. 3) The first engagement was primarily built up of Cutters, both player and AI. While we held a numerical and battle rating advantage, we could not catch up to the pirate frigates. After reinforcements arrived, two Cerberus, Renommee, and some other ships, we determined the best plan of action was to disengage from the battle, and allow another battle to commence with the larger allied ships. 4) The second engagement consisted of the major allied ships and cutters against a Pirate Renommee and Cerberus, while myself and a USMC vessel chased down the lone Pirate Cerberus and initiated a third engagement. Sometime shortly thereafter, the pirates escaped from the second engagement, but we were able to lock down the Cerberus in the fight. 5) With time, more allied vessels joined the fight. Simultaneously, a fourth engagement began against the pirate Snow. The Snow was sunk, and after a long chase, the Cerberus was summarily destroyed. USA Losses: 0 Pirate Losses: 1 Cerberus, 1 Snow

Wenn ihr noch unentschlossen seid, wo ihr nach dem Wipe am 19.1.2016 anfangen sollt. Hier mein Vorschlag! Kommt zur United States Navy! Im Moment ist die CET Primetime Abdeckung eher schlecht. IHR macht den Unterschied! Mit Eurer Hilfe wird es möglich sein unsere Häfen rund um die Uhr verteidigen zu können! Ihr profitiert von der UK Primetime! Als USN Kapitän müsst Ihr euch nicht um die Prisen zanken, wie die Engländer, sondern Ihr habt die Wahl. Es gibt mehr als genug englische Schiffe für jeden von euch! Ihr habt noch Fragen zum Spiel, US-Seite oder sucht deutschen Kontakt auft US-Seite? Dann schreibt mir hier im Forum einfach eine pm oder Ingame an "Z4ys". Zur Zeit aktive Clans: [TF] Tattered Flags [TDA] The Decatur Armada Boston Sea Party Excalibur Gerne können auch alle die schon auf US-Seite spielen sich hier im Thread melden.
