This is a great photo of the Swedish S tank..or *Credit card tank: )

General Tal of Israel was inspired by Swedish S Tank's design....looking at Merkava....you can see the similarities.

Super Tank can do it all....well....just about : )

LOL. That's right you are tall. I remember our discussion on what it must have been like in all those ships as tall as you are. Sam hit his head more than once on the Tarawa and recently on the Blueblack. Taller than a tank, able to leap tall buildings... :-)

Turns out the armor stinks.

I would think armor would be the most important aspect in designing a tank, though speed and fire power are right up there with it.

Good morning/afternoon/evening...whichever it is for you. ;-)

Dumb Laws...
Texas:
Criminals must give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

I prefer it be written.

Ok I'll bite, Why Credit Card Tank, never heard that name?

That Merkava in the last pic has a great hull down position. :-)

Sam hit his head more than once on the Tarawa and recently on the Blueblack.

Oh Sure, let everyone know I'm a klutzy sailor.

Afternoon Darksheare. I want to know where they found that much mud in one place in Israel. ;-)

Good afternoon SAM :-)

Thanks for posting RR's speech before the British Parliment, truly a classic. Did you see MadIvan's anity on RR? The link is

in case you missed it.

Your comment about the rain and the Rose Festival reminds me about the Richards-Gebaur(RG) Air shows during the 80s.

At that time RG was an Air Force reserve base and of course all Air Force bases have to have some sort of annual open house or air show. It was a cheap day out for the family, besides where else could you let 4 kids run around without to many worries.

Any how it always seemed to at least sprinkle once during the
festivities. So one year we had just gotten to the show and set up our gear so that we could enjoy the day and here comes the obligatory rain shower, only lasted a few minutes but you could see folks wondering if they should head out or what. Then over the PA comes the show announcer welcoming everybody to the Annual RG rain shower, well it was good for a laugh.

That much mud?
Ordered it to go.
Then forced trainees to drive through it.
