  1. Completed Bag #1 through Bag #12, one Bag to go and it will be complete.
  2. Completed Bag #1 through Bag #11, main deck shaping up nicely.
  3. As an aviator and as half black shoe during my last active duty tour and some of my reserve tours, it’s a ship and yes, I did call it going to the boat, but it’s still a ship. ”let others call it a boat if they must.”

  5. Publisher's summary Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange's best-selling Miracle at Midway, Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Unlike previous accounts, Shattered Sword makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida's Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan, an uncritical reliance upon which has tainted every previous Western account. It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle. Parshall and Tully examine the battle in detail and effortlessly place it within the context of the Imperial Navy's doctrine and technology. With a foreword by leading World War II naval historian John Lundstrom, Shattered Sword is an indispensable part of any military buff's library. Shattered Sword is the winner of the 2005 John Lyman Book Award for the "Best Book in U.S. Naval History" and was cited by Proceedings as one of its "Notable Naval Books" for 2005. ©2005 Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully (P)2019 Tantor
  6. Completed Bag #1 through Bag #10, looks as if this will be part of the main deck.
  7. Completed Bag #1 through Bag #9 Of note: hatches, galley, bunks, the head, fire extinguishers, the attention to detail is amazing.
