....med svärsonen Jeremy Clarkson. Emellertid så gifte sig Clarkson med Cains dotter efter dennes bortgång, så det blev aldrig något möte.

Re: Quiz: Andra världskriget
Och om nu någom kommer ihåg filmen Jaws, som hette Hajen på svenska, så utspelade sig följande scen:
"Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss): You were on the Indianapolis?
Brody (Roy Scheider): What happened?
Quint (Robert Shaw): Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin' back, from the island of Tinian to Laytee, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know... was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like ol' squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb."
En av amerikanska flottans största tragedier, som McVay fick bära hundhuvudet för.

Re: Quiz: Andra världskriget
Tack unmo300 - Din fråga och McVay's krigsrätt förtjänar en breddning då detaljerna är dåligt kända - speciellt på den japanska sidan
Kapten - var FC på ubåten I - 58 som sänkte USS INDIANAPOLIS med 3 torpedträffar - två minuter efter midnatt den 29 juli 1945.
Anklagelserna mot McVay centrerades runt att han inte zig-zagat kursen - och att detta var orsaken till kryssarens förlust och
McVay's fel.
Kapten Hashimoto - flögs till USA och vittnade i rättegången. (Något helt unikt USA's marinhistoria....!!)
Hans vittnesmål:
Jag kan äen rekommendera hans bok: för alla intresserade av det japanska ubåtsvapnet under VK2
fråga kommer, Varjag

Hans vittnesmål:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochitsura_Hashimoto... Hashimoto's 50 minutes of testimony focused on whether or not Indianapolis was "zigzaging" and he noted the ship did not deviate from its course. However, he also noted that, due to his position, such evasive maneuvers would not have impacted his ability to attack the ship.[48][49] Still, his testimony is considered integral in McVay's eventual conviction that he had been negligent

Re: Quiz: Andra världskriget
En mer långvarig invasion, som varade 1940-1945. Invasionsstyrkan var ca 250 man. Vilken invasion?
