@wreckless237 @Paultheheretic Wait a second...after decades of Christian hand-wringing over the "relatively of truth," it's now you Christians who have embraced it in every aspect of your daily lives, your Faith, & in the "witness" you present. The cowardice of your life is noted. You have nothing to say.

GOOD AFTERNOON! 👀💭😊

@aniemyer @AncientSubHunt @Humbledore Years ago I spoke to a retired officer who knew him as a peer. He was on active duty and well respected when Run Silent was published and made into a movie. That fame cost him admirals stars from a (jealous) silent service who considered that a distraction.

Hubble captured the heart of the Trifid Nebula in this beautiful #HubbleClassic view. This is a star-forming region within our own Milky Way Galaxy, at a distance of about 9,000 light-years. A group of recently formed stars is visible near the center: go.nasa.gov/3GKtYmy

@aniemyer @Humbledore I am so glad you are rereading them!

@Humbledore @AncientSubHunt I read so very many of his novels as a teen back in the 60s. In the last few years, I’ve revisited several, and gotten so much more from them. He really was a most talented writer.

"Everyone had heard of the Glowworm. She had gone down with her guns blazing, and even then she had managed to ram the German heavy cruiser Hipper." --Douglas Reeman, "Killing Ground"

@Rich_Ships No...and no document pops up via Google that shows the actual cable...which I expected. It may be with the Imperial War Museum, but they tend to be tight asses about everything.

@AncientSubHunt Do you have the quote from the German captain regarding the bravery of HMS Glowworm?

@DramaWarship @AncientSubHunt A seagoing tug would retrieve the orphaned 100-foot bow section, which the tug crew nicknamed the USS McKeesport after a neighboring city. “Sighted the suburb of Pittsburgh and have taken it in tow,” the tug crew reported.

@AncientSubHunt His style influenced me from the beginning.
