@wittmann:
Great story Mallery, thank you.

Thanks for that, Garg.

Too soon.
I have to admit though, Jaws is one of my favorite movies, and this Monologue, IMO, is one of the greatest in cinema history.
I wondered if anyone would get the reference.

I love Robert Shaw’s story on the Indianapolis in Jaws.
To tie this back to A&A …
The cruiser sculpt for the US Navy is based on the US Navy’s Portland class heavy cruisers (CA). The US built two ships to that plan: USS Portland CA-33 and USS Indianapolis CA-35.
So if you get lucky and sink a US cruiser on it’s way to the Philippines with an IJN submarine, you just may have sent Quinn adrift with the sharks…
