to get good rocket data and a few requested documents are still on
back-order, but its what I have for now.

Sorry for the long delay in updates but
it's been a busy two weeks. I've been working overtime to cover for
people down in New Orleans, I've had to do a bit of traveling, and was
my birthday, my daughter's 1st birthday, and my girlfriend's 30th
birthday all rolled into a two week time-span. Updates should resume
at a normal pace in October.

Changed the way the Warships display
page looks. Instead of seeing simple ship data, you now see data for
the ship, the guns, and all the aircraft the ship might carry.
When I can, I'm also going to include all the ships of that class with
their own details. Here's an example.
Added the following units to the
database...
Essex Class (26
units)
Supermarine Walrus
Bismarck Class (2
units)
Hood Class (2
units)
Scharnhorst Class
(2 units)
Lutzow Class (3

Added five new video clips to the Multimedia
section.
Note:
The Warships
section of the site, which had previously been destroyed by a
malicious person attempting to copy and then destroy my website, has
been recovered. While there were once 50 ships in the database, there
are now only 26, but it's better than nothing. The warship
section will be going through some major overhauls in the next few
weeks, so please be patient if it goes up and down. Thanks.

Note:
Bandwith held up last month, so I'm going to add another 50 megabytes
of movies to the site this month and see how it goes. I just uploaded
12 mb today, and more will follow as the month goes on.
Note:
I really hate the fact that freeservers, my web-host, does not support
forums. While I have no great desire to build, maintain, and admin my
own message board, I thought one might be useful from time to time.
The only thing handy at the moment are these corkboards, so I'll give
that a shot. This is for a trial basis. If the majority of the
exchanges on the corkboard wind up on the subject of Hentai porn or
other non-WWII related material I'll close them down and find
something better. Anyone with a better idea is welcome to email
me or post on the new corkboard.
