Did the Sons of Nippon believe it would not happen on a Sunday and relax their defences? Following the dough boys resting praying or relaxing generally on that Sunday the Nips paid a visit to Pearl Harbour in 41,.

With "The Walking Dead" finale last night (don't worry, I won't give up the ending if you haven't seen it yet) and we noticed you talked about zombies on your site so we thought you'd want to see this. There is an infographic about how to create a zombie apocalypse first aid kit and we think its a great time to share it with your readers.
If you're interested in posting it on your site all you need to do is copy and paste the text above the infographic. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions or comments and thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Mike Jordan

Never sent a card or recieved one no Easter chocs bunnies or eggs, never went to church never do and had roast lamb for dinner on Easter Sunday.
I believe there are more people in this world of ours who have died to save us all from tyranny than just one guy who was and is in all probability a complete myth.
I am very charitible as a person and admire and respect your faith in your almighty. Humanists like myself do not feel like lesser persons, just wiser and not subjugated to the laws of ancient fairy stories.

From archives.
But Hits on British carriers due to Armoured decks meant " Sweepers man your brooms".
I have a complete day to day history on the Activity of the BP Fleet "The Forgotten Fleet" by John Winton. However, most of it is indelible within my head, my action station was within feet of the C in C himself. At the time I was a seasoned sailor of a mere 18 years. Thanks for your comment.
And like the old ladies locked in the lavatory 'Nobody knew they (we) were there'
But needless to say the 'Celebrity one hour Movie naval engagements' Such as the Graf Spee river plate and sink the Bismark and adding Malta, Russian and atlantic convoys would not add up to the actual physical time with the enemy
spent by the US and British fleets in some cases operating up to 4,000 miles as from bases in Australia. mind boggling.
However, where your figures come from; probably the USN Dept of statistics, I find hard to reconcile with its factual entirety.
Although I liked your movie concept, it is true most USN Heroic naval stories are in the main pure fiction.
The old Guy was buttering you Brits up and the mean old Vest puts him down. But I realize to you a Yank is a crank.
