Overnight Open Thread 01/24/2024 [Roger Ball]
Totally Random
Ahoy, HORDE! I hope everyone had a great and civil Christmas. In a completely random line of thought, the banner picture may be of interest to aviation nerds and history aficionados. It is one of the few surviving, and only flying, British Royal Navy MkI Swordfish W5856 torpedo carrier aircraft. Affectionately called the 'Stringbag", it looks like it should have flown in WWI, but it is a mid-1930s design.
Technically, the craft was obsolete by the time World War II arrived, having been bypassed by sleeker, more powerful all-metal combat aircraft. But the Swordfish's sturdiness and versatility--as well as its ability to take off and land from the early British carriers--made the biplane still useful to the war effort. With the addition of an auxiliary fuel tank, the Swordfish could range some 1,030 miles, nearly double its usual range.Maximum speed was 120 knots but cruise speed with a torpedo was closer to 100 knots. Hmm, 1000 miles at 100 knots...better bring some snacks. Most significantly, her sister aircraft took part in sinking Italian Navy ships at Taranto in 1940 and sinking the Bismark in the spring of 1941. The WARFARE HISTORY NETWORK has a nice post about the airplane and engagements. Here's a pretty cool video of the Swordfish operating on the aircraft carrier.
But what really caught my eye in the banner picture was the torpedo. I have been reading about the Pacific war in Ian Toll's fantastic trilogy about the PTO. He spends many pages on our submarine war and how very awful and dangerous our Mark 14 torpedoes were. Those torpedoes would porpoise, circle, run deep, fail to detonate, or simply sink. The early British torpedoes had their issues, but at least they went boom, as the Italian and German navies found to their chagrin. Our problems were solved by the introduction of the Mk18 electric torpedo, but that's a story for another day. Speaking of "boom," I don't mean to offend TESLA owners, but I couldn't resist:
Speaking of fire, I have been thinking for quite a while that 2024 is going to be "lit".
Apparently Catherine Herridge agrees. (Right Funny)
"This is a national security event with high impact that's very hard to predict."
Well, Catherine, I'd have to agree with you right there. 10 or 20 million military age males with an axe to grind being invited into our country at the behest of the dimokkkrats might bring up some issues.
Look, I'm not trying to rush headlong into 2024. You know, "one day at a time" and all that. But it seems to be a subject of discussion. MTG posted this one (via catturd): New York, New York! I love this town!""The New York Police Department is responding to a level three mobilization, with level four being the worst, after clashes erupted between police and pro-Palestine protesters..."
You wonder why no Arab nation will touch anything associated with "Palestinian"?
Christmas Event Supporting Blind Children Disrupted By Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators
Multiculturalism means you can't enjoy Christmas with your family anymore...Deport these people now." (via End Wokeness)As previously noted, I highly recommend Ian Toll's trilogy of the Pacific war. The third book dedicates several chapters to life in Japan. The parallels between 1944 Japan and our current state are quite remarkable. By 1944, Japanese no longer believed the government "story" that they were "winning" the war or inflicting "devastating losses on the evil Americans". They did, however, go along with the "story" because disagreeing or questioning it guaranteed an immediate unpleasant conversation with the Kempeitai. (Substitute FBI for Kempeitai, as desired.) The NAZIs dehumanized the Jews, and the Allies dehumanized the NAZIs and the Japanese dehumanized Americans. It's the way of war and always has been. But what changes is the plausibility of the "story". At some point, the "story tellers" will jump the shark and the listeners will start to question the narrative. For example, Joe Biden or BarryHO being called "uniters" by the propagandists, but then calling half of US citizen voters "ultra-MAGA extremists" or "bitter clingers." Heh. Way to bring us all together, Sparky. This approach works for the simple minded, "low information voter" [thank you, Rush] but anyone with average cognitive ability will immediately question that story. There is more involved, of course. Studies in mass formation psychosis really hit the interwebs with the advent of COVID. They were flooding the zone with disinformation to the point where you couldn't believe anything. [Side bar: it took me searching in BRAVE to find that link. The google search, was mostly links to lefty sites talking about the "mass hysteria" resisting the clot shots and the danger posed by anti-vaxxers and "disinformation terrorists". Careful with your clicks!]
"The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them."
That's a great quote by Elena Gorokhova, but I think Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's is better:
"We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.""...Doing Your Own Research" Will Make You A Conspiracy Theorist" (Not the Bee)
"...U.S. faces engineered famine as COVID lockdowns and vax mandates could lead to widespread hunger, unrest this winter," which the study rated false...when supply chains had left grocery shelves all but empty, and people were literally going hungry."
As Ian Toll writes about life in 1944-45 Japan: "hunger is one thing. Famine is something else."
So here we are...and 2024, here we come. [Roger.Ball.OK at protonmail dot com]

I thought they used the Mk14 throughout the war. The torpedo itself wasn't so bad (aside from some early issues with accurate running depth)...it was a combination of a faulty magnetic detonator and faulty contact detonator that was a problem. Once it was eventually fixed (I think they gave up on the magnetic detonation and just fixed the contact detonator), US subs started thrashing Japanese shipping (and a considerable amount of naval ships, too).
The US sub campaign in the Pacific is a pretty fascinating topic.

That being said, we've sold the Saudis a shit-ton of top-end hardware over the years.
I'd tell them Weapons Free, and let them get some live fire practice in, until the problem is resolved.
Not only would it end the Houthi problem, it'd also send a certain, important message to Iran. Kind of like the message is sending in Gaza, even now.
And the men who flew the Swordfish, were anything *but* faireys, even though the airplane, was.

Boeing. The single biggest mistake in the company history was when they "merged" with McDonnell Douglas. Go to Long Beach and find some old time Douglas engineers/technicians and see what they say about the StL company and how the combined company went straight to shit. When they bought Boeing with Boeing money, the two biggest shareholders were the surviving McDonnell brother and the idiot who was their CEO. It hasn't gone well.

Fani Willis Appreciation Thread! She had the guts to start investigating Trump in March of 2021. Someone is going through a lot of trouble to get her removed from office, I am not jumping on that band wagon. I stand with Fani Willis until I see concrete evidence to convince me otherwise.
She is an adult and is allowed to have a social life. She did nothing wrong.
If you are going up against someone as evil and powerful as Trump, you want to surround yourself with people you can trust. All the attacks, pressures with her career on the line and death threats against her and her staff may well have pushed her into his arms if they had a fling. If you are in that sort of pressure cooker, you need someone who cares about you to have your back.
it's Vlad who wants Fani gone. He's the one behind the cleansing of DFT's image. Not even the US oligarchy is supporting him anymore.

For two long years the BuOrd blamed sub Commanders for the failure of their torpedos. It wasn't until Adm. Charles Lockwood took over command of the Submarine Forces Pacific that a full evaluation of the Mk14 took place, with Lockwood supervising. In short order, the issues with the Mk14 were fixed, and the near-total destruction of Japan's merchant fleet took place in the months following.

Well our air raids seem to not be working. Tactical nukes?
Here's the fookin Chinese: China’s ambassador to the European Union, Fu Cong, told Bloomberg that the airstrikes by the US and the UK on Houthi targets “can only escalate the tension” and would “not guarantee or maintain the safe passage of the commercial vessels”.
1. When destroying an enemy that is a little backwards, don't use expensive hardware such as cruise missiles, smart bombs, F-35 and such. Use WW2 ordinance. Gravity bombs (but we surely have better aiming devices for gravity bombs than we had in WW2?). HE coupled with incendiary. Collapse and burn all their shit.
2. Start by sinking anything that floats that belongs to them or Iran. Bomb the shit out of all their ports. B-52s at 30,000 feet would be nice. If that fails then ...... Definitely tactical nukes.

But HMS Hood went down on the second salvo from Bismarck. The father of a school friend (Nairobi) was supposed to be on the Hood but broke his leg while on shore leave and was still in hospital when the ship went down. I think there were 4 survivors who had been at the stern. That kid would not have been born if his dad had sailed.

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨
Bezhani Sarvar has been charged in yesterday’s terror attack at Edmonton City Hall.
Among the reasons he gave in a video recorded just before he entered the building was to ‘rise against’ leaders ‘responsible for genocide in Gaza’.
The global intifada is here.

Edmonton City Hall witnessed a chilling attack yesterday. The suspected terrorist, Bezhani Sarvar, began with the Arabic greeting 'wa alaykum salam,' and proceeded to list the ‘genocide’ in Gaza as part of his motivation. He was armed with a long gun, fired multiple rounds and deployed several Molotov cocktails. Shockingly, Grade 1 students from an Edmonton public school were on a field trip at City Hall during this harrowing event, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
The terrorist recorded a manifesto concluding in “Inshallah, I shall succeed with my mission. If I don't succeed, I know somebody else will succeed for me.”

Musk is smart and inventive and the bigger Teslas aren't horrible looking by modern standards. I am sure he could figure out how to fix the problem by repowering them with small block Chevys or Ford 4.6 V8s and putting in a real dashboard.

The Swordfish's slow speed was a bonus when they attacked the Bismark. It was so slow that Bismark's fire control system wasn't effective.
_________
Decca record producer John Culshaw flew Swordfish during WWII and said that German AA had difficulty getting a lead on something moving that slow. The Supermarine Walrus had a cruising speed of 90 mph.

I'm pretty sure he means the whole wheel, not just the tire.
I wouldn't be totally surprised if Bugatti tires were $25,000, but that sounds like super-hard braking torques the whole wheel out-of-spec; it doesn't just flat-spot the tires.

It's starting to become more and more common. I know Honda offers some sort of assisted steering, and I saw a commercial for a GM truck (IIRC) that was talking about how you could tow a 17,900lb backhoe and not need to steer or watch the road or cover the brake. At least I think that was the terrifying selling point.

The US Navy was saddled with two defective torpedoes at the start of the war.
The Mk XIV was used by submarines and destroyers. The Mk XIII was the torpedo shaped lemon slung beneath the TBD-1.
The Mk XIV had a magnetic detonator that was too sensitive and was calibrated for the East Coast. The contact detonator was placed perpendicular to path of travel and the pin itself would deform during impact thus no *ka-boom* Then there was the problem of it not running at the set depth all because the pressure sensor was placed on a fin.
The Mk XIII suffered from a slow speed and fragility. Early attempts to prevent torpedo break-up was seen in early 42 with the installation of a plywood box on the fins. This fragility limited the TBDs and early TBFs to a suicidal slow speed and low height. It took tinkering and testing to improve the Mk XIII until the ring was fitted to the fin. Finally the Avengers could drop at a higher altitude and greater speed. But by this time, the climatic naval battles of '42 were in the mirror and only the Marianas Turkey Shoot and Letye lay in the future.

First to take a crack was 825 Sqn from Victorious. In horrid weather the nine Swordfish and two Fulmars set off to attack the German battleship on the 24th. If it wasn't for the two shadowing cruisers and the lead Swordfish having an early radar, they would have missed the enemy capital ship.
They executed an all compass attack hoping the Germans could not avoid all the torpedoes. 825 Sqn managed to score one hit that caused Bismarck to start to trail oil but not affect her speed or fighting ability.
And we all know about Ark Royal.

Got a 0% deal on one of my business credit cards. Thought, what the heck, I can use that for our personal finances for 10 months.
Took the step to add a new checking account to the automated payment system for the credit card.
THEY ASKED FOR MY BANK ACCOUNT USERNAME AND LOGIN INFO!
I couldn't believe it. Do the feds give them $100 for every account they forward to the feds for monitoring?

One book I read on the Bismarck, and written by a crew member on the ship, stated that the ship was scuttled to avoid the radar-controlled guns and other 'innovations' from being captured. Apparently the ship was designed with scuttling points as was the Graf Spee.

The British had a plan with multiple trip-wires to alert them. But the devil is in the details. The submarine missed their departure because of the time chosen. Two of the three aerial patrols had problems so missed them. So the first real clue was two separate Spitfire sorties that spotted the two battle cruisers and Prinz Eugen.
As for the Swordfish. Even though they faced Luftwaffe fighters and ship AA without their own fighter escort, the pilots pressed the attack to no avail and scored no hits. The leader of this mission was awarded the Victoria Cross - posthumously.

I have plenty of my share of pessimism - but I am most pessimistic when nothing is changing, when things just go on and on and on and nothing can break the narrative. When things start to change, I can't help but feel the excitement - dozens of paths are becoming possible, none of which those in power can anticipate or understand. Are some of them bad? of course, but not all of them are. Suddenly, there's at least a chance. We haven't had that much for 3 years now.

Today, it's the same. The Asian versions of this cultural oddity, practiced in our own lifetimes, are still looked upon as unseemly at best.
But in Western societies today, another version of it - the killing of infants of either sex for convenience's sake - is sacrosanct, as long as it's done by women instead of men.
No matter how much time and change may pass, this thing persists. But, I observe that we've only become more barbaric and capricious about it with the march of "progress."
It's not because the infants in question are less capable of producing food or military prowess, anymore. It's because they are holding people back from unfulfilling office work of little value.

May God Keep Her in His Loving Embrace.
And may He Keep and Bless you as you go on here, fellow Moron.
All the Prayers, up for the both of you now, of course. ALL the prayers.
Twenty six years, wasn't just a sneeze. To all of your memories. Cheers, as I pour out this glass to she, your love.
RESPECTFULLY,
Jim

What I'd like to know is how this got started. To be a fly on the wall.
"So, fellas, I was thinking. Let's all get in our underwear and try and touch Akira. Now, he's gonna be completely naked. But it's okay; it's just for luck. Also, priests are gonna throw these here sticks at us. Yes, they're the size of an average penis. But don't let that put you off. You want to hold one; they're also lucky."

But that is just it, it is people with free time. Anyone with 'edit' permissions can write new stuff and edit old stuff. That's why we can't trust political history, biographies, etc. since the Top Editors are all Lefties and if you change anything they don't like they re-edit it right back and stop it being editable.
If you're British then you want History to say you sank it.

He is not representing Texas. He’s representing the American Hating Democrat machine.
He’s actually an adversary of Texas . I don’t know if there is a mechanism for it but he should be impeached/removed/recalled.

I can't imagine trying to keep it clean. I remember the public toilets in Rome - the urine smell was enough to gag. There were no other toilets back then, no gas stations, etc.
Who where they going to hire to keep 'em clean? Hopefully completely hoseable?

This morning I have a Chinese spyware meeting with a counselor from my pension plan. Then, this pm, the tenants' rights group is meeting to (a) complain about the management of this apt. dump, and (b) maybe plan some action. (At least there hasn't been any more talk of the place being demolished.) Gonna be a long day.
Friday's coming, though.

The British AND the Germans developed TOP SECRET magnetic exploder fuses for their torpedoes before WW2. Both discovered during the war that they didn't work.
Churchill was on warship attacked by those defective torps. they didn't explode.
