Some Sorta Strange Damage Here...

I was cruising in the "whatever" Japanese harbour and saw a burning pyre in the distance. Upon investigation, I found this just sitting in the water, quite stationary.

Tis gotta be the strangest thing I've found so far, be sure...

I've seen that a lot in ports as well. I've even seen it on land! It looked like some sort of brush fire until I zoomed in.

That's from the experimental Imperial Japanese Hydrofoil Destroyer™. They weren't a big success. The boat achieved such speed that they lost control, went airborne, and stripped the foils right off the hull!

Part of the Philadelphia Experiment again. Actually this DD has magically materialized in the Hudson just upside down.

in SH III i had DD's kill them selfs on the piers trying to get to me when i was in the harbors. they would run up at me and BOOM hit the Pier, back-up and try again until they sank. i guess they can't see the piers!

this one prob did something of the same sort, ran aground or something.

That's why you NEVER let the valet do the parking Capt. Frank.
