I apologize to all the French on the board in advance, but this just makes me sick. Chirac makes my blood boil. :fork:

It reminds me of that joke someone passed on to me some time ago:


Why did the chicken cross the road?

SAEED AL SAHAF - Iraqi Head of Information - The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We do not even have a chicken.

GEORGE W BUSH - We have helped the chicken to freedom. Now we will sell its eggs to enable him to re-build his hen house

TONY BLAIR - I agree with George.

CLARE SHORT - This government has broken its promise to ensure the United Nations has a central role in rebuilding the hen house

IAN DUNCAN-SMITH - The fact is that the chicken shouldn't have needed to cross the road in the first place. That it did was a direct result of this government's short sighted transport policy

JACQUES CHIRAC - France will not help the chicken across the road under any circumstances. We will, however, supply the road builders with drains, manhole covers, extra sticky tar and really fast trucks with big, fat, chicken-squashing wheels. ps, if the chicken does somehow manage to make it to the other side, can we have some of the contracts to help re-build the hen house?

HANS BLIX - We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

COLIN POWELL - I have no information as to whether the chicken did or did not cross the road

Outstanding Pics He219!!! woot

Acutally Fox2 its 'Anchors Aweigh' :D

[Verse 1]
Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry;
We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

[Verse 2]
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

Well, spank me silly and call me sailor.

And here I always thought it was "Anchors Away!"

Thanks for the enlightenment, Trig.



No sorry, that reminds me of that picture:

There is a difference between the two!

Secretary Powell's body language exudes more of an aggressive attitude. Like "C'mon! What do you want?!"

At least the way I read it.


But His Falseness, the Information Minister, he has more of a defensive body language in that image. As in, "Please, please, do not look at the American soldier behind me, when I just said there are none." ;)

C'mon now, you can't tell me that Secretary Powell's pose doesn't even slightly resemble that image of the Pope?

Alright now, these soldiers seem to be wearing a very similar looking winter-camo as the Bundeswehr has.

Firstly, I'm wondering if that's the exact thing, a "produced under license" , or something just very similar to it?

And, are those masks they also wear somehow related to the Bundeswehr or not?

The Bureau of Ordenance favored a free-swinging anti-aircraft gun, rather than the slower powered mounts available at the start of the war, which could be used even without any source of power still active on the ship it was on. The only current free-swinging weapon was the .50 caliber machine gun, which was lacking in range and firepower. To replace this weapon, there was need for more firpower still with low enough weight to be manually handled.

One outstanding candidate for this was the Swiss Oerlikon company's 20mm gun, which was in service with Great Britian and which had been reviewed for service with the USN before, but rejected on grounds of low rate of fire. Eventual adoption of the 20mm may have been due to the British who had lost their contact with Switzerland in 1940 and wanted a U.S. production line. Eventually, on the grounds of it being the best available weapon, BuOrd approved the production in November 1940.

Reception was enthusiastic as a more than welcome replacement for the .50 caliber, production was slow to quickly replace all of the .50 Cal, so in the early months most air-defenses continued to rely on the .50-caliber.

The 20 millimeter guns were the smallest anti-aircraft guns carried aboard the USS Slater. Heavy machine guns, they were capable of firing 450 rounds per minute per barrel with an approximate range of 2000 yards. Each gun was manned by a crew of 4; a gunner, sight(range) setter, one loader per barrel. The gun was originally designed in Switzerland by the Oerlikon Company, hence the metric designation. Original mounts were on trunions, and required another crew member to raise and lower the trunion. Later installations were the Mk 10 (tripod) mounts that eliminated this crew man.

Ammunition was held in sixty round drums that fitted on top of the breeches. After long periods of firing (about 240 rounds) the barrels had to be changed by the loaders, who wore asbestos gloves. The hot barrels were switched with spare barrels stored in cooling tanks welded alongside the guns. The ammunition drums were stored in lockers behind the gun mounts. When first placed in service in 1942, these guns were mounted singly and were aimed by open ring sights. After 1942, the lead computing stabilized MK14 relative rate gunsight was mounted on these guns for better accuracy, and added the sightrange setter. In 1945, the twin mount became common, which added two more loaders.

The career of the 20mm was quite short. It had extraordinary successes in 1942, 1943 and up to mid-1944, but with the advent of the kamikaze, the 20mm was not adequate anymore. It was, however, retained because of the psychological effect that the ability to fire at the attacker had for the seamen, and twin and quadruple mounts had been tested and installed aboard several ships.

good pic! REMOV, thanks for the pictures! They are old, so does 35mm version... heheYou know I was joking a little ;)

There are naturally modern 20mm Oerlikons AA guns like:

- GAI-D01 (Turkey has ca. 440 of them, this weapon was designed to fill the gap between simple single-barreled 20mm antiaircraft guns and heavy, sophisticated weapons such as the 35mm GDF series. It is also meant to be economical enough to be used routinely against ground targets, especially personnel in the open. The GAI-D01 is a fairly simple weapon, but has powerful 6x telescopic sights and a small 1.5 kW generator under the gunner’s seat),

- GAI-C01/C04 (Singapore has 30 C01s. These weapons are both based around Oerlikon KAD autocannons (also known as HS-820 autocannons). The GAI-C01 uses one belt of ammunition that feeds from the right side, while the GAI-C04 uses a slightly different version that uses a dual feed mechanism. They can be used against aircraft and ground targets. The elevation and traverse are manual with a handcrank and pumping pedals. The sights are x1 for antiaircraft use and 2.5x for ground targets. Each ammunition box contains 75 rounds of belted ammunition)

- GAI-C03 (This is basically a GAI-C01 that uses a variant of the KAD known as the KAD-A01. The biggest difference between the standard KAD and the KAD-A01, apart from the barrel length, is that the KAD-A01 is fed from drum magazines similar to those of KAB. The GAI-C03 uses the same carriage, mount, and sight of the GAI-C01),

- GAI-B01 (This is one of the smallest, lightest, and simplest antiaircraft cannons in existence. This is in no small order related to its being built around the KAB autocannon. It is normally towed on a light trailer by a vehicle, but can be mounted in its entirety on a heavier vehicle, or even manpacked in up to 10 loads plus ammunition. The elevation is done with a handwheel, and traverse with pumping pedals. The mount includes a 1x sight for antiaircraft use, and a 3.7x sight for ground targets. Also known as "2cm Flak" (= leichte Flak). This gun is also used as MK66 (Maschinenkanone) for the SPzA1G/MK (SPzA1 MK66 = 4K 3FA-G1 and 4K 4FA-G1).

The Ystervark is based on the Samil 20 and is armed with a 20mm gun Oerlikon GAI-C01. The vehicle has a combat weight of 7.7 tonnes and a road speed of 93 kph. The GAI-C01 consists of a rapid fire gun KAD-B13-3, a Delta-IV sight, a x2.5 sight for use against ground targets and a seat for the gunner. The weapon has a range of 1,500 - 2,000 m and a rate of fire of 1,050 rds/min. The SADF has some 84 in service.
