Atreides 144 Posted February 16, 2008 The Nimitz should of ripped that bomber to shreds with it Phalanx gun and show'em whos boss. Right....

Rambler 1-1 9 Posted February 16, 2008 are you saying that archduke Ferdinand was really assasinated by a Phalanx? Or that Hitler shouldn't have crossed the US fleet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viggen 644 Posted February 16, 2008 are you saying that archduke Ferdinand was really assasinated by a Phalanx? Or that Hitler shouldn't have crossed the US fleet? No Ferdinand was assasinated by the tailgun of the Bear who happened to cross and sink the fleet Hitler was in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viggen 644 Posted February 17, 2008 I just checked the Aviation forum and couldn't find it. Perhaps it was deleted for security reasons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
