Naval bases - How much do you know?

If you’re doing this for some sort of school, I’d say that’s unquestionably bad form. Unfortunately, I can’t help you anyway, as I don’t have that info readily available. The only thing I do know is that the UK gave some of their bases to the US in exchange for 50 old destroyers that were used for countermeasures against U-boats.

I’m in the Army.

Agreed… :P

Army huh? good man. what area? and if you dont mind me asking, what rank?

When you say area what do you mean by that? And I am currently a PFC.

eh, my army lingo aint that great right now, which is disappointing. um, like infantry, armor, artillery, etc.

It’s all right. That’s what I thought, just wasn’t sure. Anyway, I’m a quartermaster, although I’m currently doing other stuff.

I’m more of a Navy person myself. I like big ships. :)

Screw big ships! I just like big guns! :D

Hahaha… nothing beats 15 inch naval BB guns ;)

how bout a gustave gun? something like….31 in diameter i think? i think that beats it. :D

I prefer the fictional 344mm Lepage glue gun; it glues together a whole formation of planes in midair. :lol:

ok, that wins. wheres it from?

Catch-22, which, btw, is an excellent book, imo. 8)

I forgot about the rail guns. ;) However, I prefer a little accuracy with mine. Otherwise I would’ve used the 17in Jap naval guns. :)

I’m in the Artillary and in front of our armory there are two inert 16 inch projectiles. If you didn’t know you would have know Idea what they are, they are so huge. If they were hollow you could fit a person inside.

But I still prefer the army to the navy and all their boats.
