Our convoys to Russia helped keep them in the war until their massive industry was able to kick into gear. Once the Red Army steamroller started rolling toward Berlin, there was little chance of the Germans stoping it. That said, it was a combined effort. Something all the allied countrys should rem...

The Navy wanted a scapegoat for the loss of so many men so late in the war. They handed up the career and eventually the life of McVay, (guilt later led him to suicide.)

Does the Spanish Navy have 2000-3000 anti aircraft missiles available? The US Navy also had 100+ submarines. Put simply the...

Can't answer all your questions. But it is my understanding that the Kirovs have been retired. They where great looking ships that packed a huge punch. But in the end they cost too much too keep active. It is my understanding that one of them(maybe Kirov)had a reactor accident and was put out of com...
