I don't care what you call me. I'd be a terrible terrible person to be on your team in war. We'd be out in the trenches, you'd be like, okay I'm going in first, you come in behind me where all of those guys shooting are at and cover me. I'd be like, are you ****ing crazy, they are trying to kill people up there.
Sorry, buddy. You can't run in World War II. We're killin' Nazis. You can be a pacifist on ...

... Bunker Hill lost a total of 346 sailors and airmen killed, 43 more missing (and never found), and 264 wounded. She was heavily damaged and was sent to the Bremerton Naval Shipyard for repairs. She was still in the shipyard when the war ended in mid-August 1945.
Great story. Oh, and (rolling dice) you died. Tough break.

South Dakota class? Is that one of the older battleships? I have to look that up.

Eh, pretty new. 1938. I'm used to always hearing about Iowa-class battleships. This one had some interesting assignments, including attacking the French Navy. That's kind of unusual.

Oh, dude. That sucks.

1,177 deaths, and (rolling dice), you're one of them. You never even knew what hit you.

Washington** North Carolina-class Battleship**


Man, we had a lot of big ships that I've never heard of.

Other than Pearl Harbor, did we lose a battleship in WWII? I think that probably ended up being safe duty.
