The Forgotten Theater U.S. Submarine Operations in the Aleutians in World War II Shown at Pearl Harbor in 1927, only three years after she was commissioned, USS S-18 (SS-123) was one of the first two submarines sent to Dutch Harbor in January 1942. This move precipitated the Battle of the Komandorski Islands on 26 March, in which an outnumbered force of U.S. cruisers and destroyers fought a retiring action in which the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City (CA-25) was heavily damaged and went dead-in-the water, yet survived to fight another day. Nonetheless, Attu was fiercely contested by the Japanese, and it wasn’t until the end of the month, when over 2,300 of their number had been lost in several suicidal “banzai” attacks, that they yielded the island to the invaders. www.chinfo.navy.mil /navpalib/cno/n87/usw/issue_18/forgotten.htm   (3044 words)

Korea didn't have nukes and a massive standing army we could have finished up in the north by now, just like Dubya has finished up the job in Iraq.

Ahoy the SS Mariner! (Nice Guys Finish Third) Let's just say that going into Sunday confidence in the offensive abilities of the Mariners was running a bit low around the hallways of the mighty SS Mariner Corporate Park. Saturday was no exception, as Pedro threw another stunner - three hits over seven innings, 7 K's, and just the one earned run in a 5-1 Boston win. First Half Freddy only lasted 1 2/3 innings - a personal record, I think - in a 7-run outburst that led to a 12-1 White Sox win. ssmariner.blogspot.com /2003_08_01_ssmariner_archive.html   (7368 words)

Only Baseball Matters In the same vein, I watched that 128 pitch game of Jerome Williams, and in the eighth and ninth innings, he was exhausted. I assume this was Felipe Alou's decision, since my understanding is that managers who have been ejected usually contrive to keep managing from the clubhouse, or from the runway leading to the dugout. As an investment, as a significant part of the future, it is imperative that the team err on the side of caution in handling his induction into the majors. www.onlybaseballmatters.com /a/2003_07.html   (12021 words)
