[REQ] Guns of Navarone

[geosub1978]

There isn't any island called Navarone in Greece. However there is a gulf called Navarino where a famous naval battle took place in 1827. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Navarino.

Actually, there were two 12'' guns on top of the Aegina Island (http://www.greeka.com/saronic/aegina...map/aegina.gif) comming from the retired battleship HS LEEMNOS (http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h46000/h46707.jpg) plus six 6'' guns around the eastern coast of the island, all of them guarding SARONICOS bay which were transfered there pre-war. They were bombed by HS AVEROF (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Averof_Today2.jpg/800px-Averof_Today2.jpg) and HMS KGV in 1944.

Furthermore: I want to state from this thread that the Salamis Base is placed incorrectly in SH3! In the following picture: http://www.livius.org/a/battlefields...alamis_map.gif the Salamis base is located at the bay directly opposite of "Throne of Xerxis". NOT at the big WESTERN bay!!!! The water there is shallower than land!
