less and less. It has clearly got our #Australian Prime Ministers mixed up. Unless there was some shenanigans in the War Council that I'm not tracking, this is not the PM you are looking for who was sans trousers. I was just doing some simple referencing!

The Missouri. Laid down Jan 6, 1941. Iowa Class - the last class of BBs built by the US. At 58,460 tonnes, top speed of 32.5 knots and 3 triple 406mm (16 inch) guns. A monster, but overtaken by the Aircraft Carrier. How many platforms do we have or are building today that will soon be obsolete?

On the 4th of September, 1943, the 9th Division landed at Red Beach, in a pincer movement with the 7th Div to capture Lae. The 7th Div's 25th Brigade would capture Lae just 12 days later. The 9th Div's 20th Brigade was landed at Scarlet Beach, near Finschhafen just 8 days later.

Balaklava Harbour - 1855 - a few months after the Charge of the Light Brigade. I'm researching the famous charge to look at how a simple tactical task could go so wrong. A poor set or orders, delivered in a poor manner by a staff officer with a poor understanding of the Commander's Intent.
