Naval Combat
Submitted by Midnight on Fri, 03/02/2007 - 2:35pm.
I am watching a program on the History Channel about the German ship Bismark. In the show's portrayal of the battle between the Bismark and the HMS Hood I was extremely impressed. It was the most interesting view of naval combat I've even seen. They used CGI to recreate the actual view from each ship, show exactly how ships blew up and sank, show views of the trajectory of shells, and integrated it with testimony from sailors from each crew. It is really an awesome thing that 60 years later we can have a civil discussion with men who were bitter enemies in order to explore military tactics.
I have always been fascinated by naval combat and tactics. This is why I like Battlestations so much, which, by the way, has an some awesome multiplayer. I just now really started playing the multiplayer and I love it!

It's not just naval combat, they do the same for air combat as well, interviews and whatnot. It's a good show and very enjoyable to watch if you like military history. That being said, how come I haven't seen any THX'ers buying books at my store? :( I get lonely late nights when I'm there by myself and have no one to talk to. Don't be scurred, you'll get a good deal ^_^.
