  2. The Battle of Midway (June, 1942) looked to be a failure for Nimitz
    for the first and second waves.
    Japan lost no assets.
    Third wave, different story.
    Japs lost 3 Aircraft Carriers in 5 minutes.
    A fourth one was lost later that day.
    Nimitz won the War in the Pacific, one battle.
    That's why most sovereigns have military Academies,
    study the stuff.

    I'm one of the last civilians to be on both Midway and Wake island. You can't get on them anymore...Closed off. Even harder to get onto Johnston Island.

    Lived almost a year in Saipan...With time spent in Truk (Chuuk), The Marshalls, and Pohnpei. Some strange routes in 1976-1983...

    If you don't mind me asking, what were you exactly doing on Midway and Wake? BTW Micronesia is nice (or was, now that they're about to disappear under the rising ocean).

    Island hopping...Air Micronesia. I had college roommates from there..."Air Mike" would hit all the islands way back when.

    The airline was established by Continental and other regional shareholders in the former U.S. Trust Territory and started operations on May 16, 1968, as Air Micronesia,[9] hence the nickname and callsign "Air Mike". Service was started with a Boeing 727-100 jetliner, number 475, which was nicknamed "Ju-Ju," and a Douglas DC-6B propliner. It also operated two Grumman SA-16/ HU-16 Albatross amphibians to fly from Chuuk (Truk) to Pohnpei (Ponape), until an airfield could be built that could accommodate the 727. The 727's underside was coated with teflon, due to it having to operate on coral runways. Additionally, the plane had to carry spare parts and a mechanic, as well as open-water survival gear and (beginning in 1975) onboard doppler radar, then a rarity.[citation needed] The airline also operated Boeing 727-100 Combi aircraft models which were capable of transporting freight pallets on the main deck of the jetliner just aft of the cockpit in addition to passengers seated in the rear coach compartment.[10] By 1983, Continental Micronesia was operating all-passenger Boeing 727-100 and 727-200 aircraft in addition to mixed passenger/freight 727-100 Combi aircraft from its Guam hub.[11]

    Yeah, your heard right...Coral runways!!!

    Oh, sorry, thought this was in politics, not "Wall St. News", where it belongs.

    @Overnight is a dumbfuck idiot.
    You can tell because he has been BLOCKED.

    He is filled with tons of anger, frustration,
    hatred, revenge, negative thoughts, negative emotions
    every day and night.

    Every now and then, day and night, he has to write something negative.

    He must have been having trading problems for very long.
    what a miserable creature.

    Some members block @Overnight because he radiates
    tons of toxic negative energy.

    A song for that
