USN rangefinders in directors were also stabilized. The gyro in the device that put ship's roll and pitch angles into the battery computer/rangekeeper to correct gun positions also were used to position the battery director and its ranging devices. But nothing corrected for the ship vibrations caus...

Hello everybody, let's fix the major errors in a recent post from Mr.Dunmunro: Dunmunro wrote: "Maybe the fact that all 3 RN ships stated that the action ended at ~0613" Which action ? The anti-aircraft one of PG ? PoW reports nowhere mention 6:13. :lol: Tovey had ALREADY issued his preliminary rep...

Hello everybody, if only those " hooligan/deniers " were going to stick to the facts and not jumping up and down on any interpretation they like to try to sell to this historical fact we were going to live more easily. It is obvious that Stephen Roskill and Graham Rhys-Jones did not want to provide...

Hello everybody, @ Herr Nillson, what I am going to publish is just based on what Stephen Roskill, ... and I remember you all we are talking the Royal Navy Official Historian for World War 2, ... did explain us being the path to follow top down about this story, ... from WSC down to Alexander and P...

Hello everybody, despite the attempt of Mr.Dunmunro to justify his false statement regarding the supremacy in number of the RN over the KM (these were his own words, and the destroyers of RMI and IJN, as well as their speed/armament were not taken into account by this guy :lol: ), back we are to th...

Of battleships, the RN had a superiority (I think to remember, at that stage of the war) of 13-1 in numbers over the KM :lol: :lol: :lol: Bye, Alberto The RN had 15 battleships in commission as of ~0558 24 May 1941. Only 4 of these, PoW, KGV, Renown and Repulse could do 28 knots or better, with 7 b...

Hello everybody, to make a long story short, ... A coward Captain retreated his battleship while fully engaged after only 1 minute fighting on alone after having received the first hit on board, with a still perfectly efficient warship he had previously been engaging the enemy and just only because...

For war propaganada reasons it was decided to : LEAVE IT ! ( Cit. Sir W. Churchill ) The RN did censure RN officers during WW2 over their conduct in battle. Churchill did write "leave it" but he didn't do it for war propaganda purposes, unless the UK was publishing their war cabinet minutes...which...

Hello everybody, in a post in which almost ONLY personal opinions are listed instead of proven facts (e.g. " there never was a CMDS threat :negative: , Tovey exaggerated :negative: , and people have gleefully jumped on the bandwagon :lol: ....there was no actual cause for suspicion :shock: ....You ...

Hi Marc, you wrote: "Answer to what? I see no questions.

I will add another couple of facts to the above indisputable fact list : 1) It is a fact that on May 28th, 1941 Adm Pound asked a Board of Inquiry -> Court Martial to Adm Tovey and it is a fact that after the war Adm Tovey explained the whole situation to Stephen Roskill in writing. 2) It is a fact...

Hi HMSVF,

you wrote: "it's hardly fair to say Leach was constantly "babysitted" or "childminded""

Possibly, but it's also impossible to say that the Admiralty confidence in his nerves was untouched, after the Denmark Strait.


Bye, Alberto

Classic troll.

Hello everybody, Dunmunro wrote: "In typical troll fashion, you again try to insert the unsupported claim that the Admiral was there to supervise Leach and not his squadron." In a typical arrogant fashion, Mr.Dunmunro is unable to admit that (once again after his crazy theory of Hood bows proceedin...

So what :?: "There was not a terrific explosion but the officer of the watch said to the Admiral that the Compass had gone and the Admiral said move over to the after control. " who does the Officer of the Watch report to ? :lol: :lol: :lol: It's incredible that hooligans (ignorant of naval and mil...

:lol: Another guy who has never been on a ship with an Admiral present in the bridge, who is only able to quibble about "inferences and suppositions between two events" , just because posted facts are annoying for a denier. :lol: Or possibly this shameless Mr.Dunmunro will try to say that Ted Brigg...
