Two Annoying Glitches

Couple of small things that I noticed last night.

1: I was sent on yet another photo recon mission. Now, it seems a little illogical to me to sail from Fremantle to Singapore, take some snapshots of a ship and then sail home. It takes weeks to return home and by then that ship has probably sailed.
Why bother? I usually sink the sucker anyway! "Here's some grainy, outdated photos of a ship that I sunk in Singapore harbour nine days ago" "Good work, carry on" I can understand taking shots of installations, or sending sighting reports of vessels by radio, but photos of ships?

2: After the Singapore jaunt (which made me miss the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot

) I decided to test out the spanking new 5.25 incher on a Kent class cruiser in Freo harbour. It worked. Hauled off by the MPs, I was upbraided for killing fellow Americans. Um, sorry, (and appologies to all the US citzens reading this) but as far as I know Australia is a soveriegn nation and definitely NOT part of the USA....otherwise I could carry a gun, have to wait until I was 21 to drink beer and I wouldn't get a holiday on the Queen's Birthday. BTW I love how American and (oh, yeah, I think there were a few Australians too, might mention it as a little aside) Australian forces stop the Japanese in PNG in '42. C'mon! Credit where credit is due! First major reverse for the Japanese on land

, in a desperate defence and counter attack along the Kokoda Track by outnumbered Australian millitia and the Americans get top billing?!!!! Not happy, Jan.
