Alot of German sailors prolly soiled their shorts when they saw a 35k ton battleship steaming up the fiord at Narvik. Pretty audacious.

The article on the Japanese fleet was amusing. The Japanese by this time were building YAMATO and MUSASHI, each almost twice the size of the battleships the TIMES was claiming they were building. SHOKAKU and ZUIKAU were also being commissioned.
