One of the biggest US failures of WWII. A great explanation in the video below. While watching it I can’t help but reflect on how many of our weapons development problems today seem to stem from the same issues from 80 years ago.

Naval construction
An interesting perspective. If the economy bounces back to pre-pandemic levels quickly, then a wave of retirements really will result in a shortage of skilled workers. Given the pay and employment security, these should be highly sought after jobs.

USS Nevada rediscovered
Story here. It amazes me that we did not save the Nevada and the Enterprise after WWII.

You’d have to have a heart of stone
Not to laugh. Managed to do it with 50 year old technology.
