I’ve never heard that claimed before. :confused:

Even if you look at the pictures from the papers, her Guns were at anger. A ship does not sail with her Guns at anger. They only move them Port or Stbd when about to fire. A Battleship (And this was a real Battleship) will not fire with her guns in-line as the shock wave will rattle the Captains curtains. They fire abeam so the ship can roll a bit.
She was about to fire upon a sub, the RN wouldn’t comment on whether it was a Nukey or a Dervy. It could even have been a yankee sub, they gave us a lot of assistance on Satellite images and other clandestine information gathering methods. They also supplied missiles etc. in double-quick time.

This beautiful picture of Iowa using her guns is a prime example. She has moved Port a few feet! I believe it was firing on Beirut at the time. A shell the weight of a small car going 35 miles on a target. It’s just stunningly arousing.

This thread started as humour and has turned quite meloncholy or morose.

How is it someone as evidently unmusical as you can constantly try rip bass players to pieces?!

It’s a dig with humour, sorry I forget the Smiley’s.;)
It goes back to the ancient snobby opinion that Drummers and Bass players are not true musicians.

“Non musical”…..meaning I can only play the comb and paper.
But I listen to it constantly, have 1 tb of music on PC plus about 2,000 (Plastic) albums and about the same on CD.
So, I reckon I can judge a good toon, and recognise bits that are hard to play etc.

It says Hummer on the front of it, it’s a Hummer limo to me. What do you want me to say? :confused:

JB……He’s a Bass player. Re-progam with words, he’s only used to Humm……ing!

That Rolls with the Merlin Engine in it did NOT look stupid!
It ripped the concrete off the autobahns!

……a DVLA search shows the engine capacity as 27000cc (LoL)

[B]Which Hummer did not make.

Beat me to it. The proper Hummer weighs about the same as Africa and to drive it in UK you need a HGV licence.
