Re: The future of Europe
Friends, I can see where you all are coming from. I live in NJ here in the US and the state is basically broke. Powerful state worker and teacher unions who are in bed with the Democrats who control the legislature have brought the state to the brink of ruin. The Republicans are guilty of catering t...

Re: Variable pitch propellers

Re: World Cup 2010
The USA will probably never have a competitive World Cup team because it competes for attention with USA Football.

GERMAN/US RANK EQUIVALENT
I did check that table and saw the rank of Oberfeuerwerksmaat. Would that include gunners (men who service the guns). I kind of thought that it would be Marineartilleriegefreiter too. The Maschinenobergefreiter would be a machinist I would assume. I am sure the germans would have had to have this ki...

Is there a table of rank equivalents between the German and US navies during WWII? My father was a FC2 (Fire Controlman 2nd class) on the USS Missouri for the 16in guns and I would like to know ther German equivalent. Any help appreciated!
