Wow, a warship from the Netherlands operating in waters around Hawaii. I might be a bit slow, and know RIMPAC is open to all USA Allies. But I am wondering about the logistics of sending a frigate more than half way around the world, transversing the Indian Ocean to the North-East/Central Pacific. Who paid for their fuel? Are they doing a circumventing world cruise and returning to the Netherlands by way of the Panama Canal? Do they have their own supply ships, or are they using allies? Or Is it because the Netherlands still have a National Interest in Shell Oil? Which still operates in their former colonies.... I guess I answered my own question in my rambling text. I.E. I assume that the Netherlands still has a Major Economic reason to have a Military presence in the "Pacific" region.

Wtf? Rather than sink it, why wasn't it donated to the Philippines to replace the Sierra Madre...? One problem these days is there's very little common sense left in the world... Common sense, common decency, common courtesy... None of these are "common" anymore... SMH 😠

They were testing out a new torpedo specifically for sinking amphibious assault ships and carriers. And it was deployed by B2 Stealth Bomber. A new mod perk for the B2. It was signal to China and Russia who floating their own gator freighters around Cuba and Taiwan. I was on her four years. I’m thankful she wasn’t stripped for scrap in some graveyard or sold to some entity that wouldn’t be able to maintain her. I may have picked up a couple of degrees from University of Houston later in life but that was ship was my true university coming out of high school.

Ships do not last forever and the Phillipines should be investing in missiles instead of targets. That old ship would just deprive other programs of modern resources. Invest in land-based missiles instead. One bomb can sink a ship, but islands are immune and the Phillipines have plenty of places to dig in below the depth any Chinese weapon can reach. Dig in like Taiwan and spend on SHORAD, tube arty and missiles.

Old warships like these are good for the environment, they make great coral reefs. Usually they decide the best place to sink a ship.

B2 Stealth Bomber supposedly did her in with a new torpedo that was designed specifically for carriers. Namely as a signal to China and Russia to beware because China has been floating its own gator freighter around Taiwan. And … they wanted to see if this type of weapon could be deployed via Stealth Bomber.

When did this plane appear in the War ? I'm interested in the TWIN engine Sea Planes that rescued the crews of the 1940/1 Blenni's and Others, who crash-landed into the Channel, and their Crew members floated in dinghies, until THEY were later found and rescued, and returned to their bases in England, to fly again a couple of nights later. I don't want to learn about the much later 4 engine jobs ....

I love the Catalina. She has an unmatched beauty about her. Catalina’s are among my absolute favorite of aircraft. On a side note, she’s really displaying her left-turning tendencies on takeoff here. She has no rudder in the water and her actual rudder has no influence until she gains adequate airspeed. Hence she makes the wide left turn towards shore in spite of the extreme right rudder deflection applied by the pilot. Once she’s up to speed, then she straightens out and flies right. As beautifully as ever.

I love the PBY Catalina so much, that I have immortalised it in one of my books, and musical screenplays. It's just a great plane, that I am sure many downed pilots, and sailors adrift in the sea, were extremely happy to see them, coming down to be rescued. What a legend of a plane!
