Depending on where you live there are probably centers dedicated to just this sort of donation. They may even reimburse you generously for the effort. Just make sure you do not have a contractual obligation to provide for their offspring. Though the Yamato is not a pleasure Yacht, seamen can be promiscuous.

If you change the red circle to a red triangle I might be more inspired to your cause :D

Wakarimasende****a.

While you're saving the Uber BB, you might do us a favor and track her movements over time in the game. I am getting a sneaky suspicion that aside from single ships, any convoy or task force is on a prescheduled and non-random path.

I've started and restarted numerous campaigns now as I continue to tweak files and I KEEP seeing the SAME ship and fleet movements every time.

I'm fine with that, and at the same time I'm not. That is to say that I fervently want all fleets and historical events to be and happen as accurately to real life as possible. But I don't want all the rest of the traffic to keep running the same exact schedule. I've bagged the same Huge Euro Transport 4 times now SE of Kobe.

Ya ma to-----Yamato

Mu sa shi----Musashi

IJN battle ship names are old Japanese prefecture(small countries) name.

This is in Japanese kanji and hiraganai.
Upper is Yamato lower is Musashi

doomo arigato gozaimasu. I knew the hiragana but not the Kanji. Kanji dictionaries are so frusterating. I still haven't gotten to where I can guess the pattern and stroke order naturally. :damn:

In real life there was the Yamato and the Musashi. In SHIV there are only Yamato.

But I always thought Musashi was named after the swordsman?

2 days ago was the 62nd anny. of the sinking of the yamato

Coolhand01 04-09-07 12:17 PM

The Yamato was sunk in 1955? I thought she was sunk in '45. That would be 62 years ago. Sorry. Had to be a smart a**...CH

Aimbot, fantastic thread!!! :up:

Got me interested in reading up on Yamato (on company time ;) ) and here are some links that might be of interest to Sinc members that don't know about 'em:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/supership/

Note that PBS is re-running "Sinking The Supership" April 10th (tomorrow!), I'll definitely be recording it.


This is cool also:

22 pages of pics of a 1/10th scale model of Yamato in Kure City, Japan. Be sure to click the thumnail to open the pic in a new window, then click that pic for an even larger one. There's also a slideshow of all the pics here:

How'd you like to have THAT model in your bathtub ??!?!

Hmmm, while your request is heart-felt and though out as well I sadly will decline to add to your signatures. I will, however add my reason. It can be summed up in three words....


REMEMBER

PEARL HARBOR!
