When I was in high school I was president of history club but literally all we did was argue about which historical figure would win in a fight so to this day I have little meaningful knowledge of history but I do have an uncomfortably detailed theory on why Lincoln could kick Eisenhower's ass
#the first things you take into account are size agility and strength#then hand to hand combat training and experience#then their track record in man to man fights during their lifetime#oh and it was always no weapons and no prep time and nothing off limits#dde may be the greatest military mind ever to hold that office I'm not sure but he easily could be#but during his lifetime lincoln never. lost. a. fight.#and he got in a LOT of fights#he was famously strong and agile not to mention huge#he once participated in a strongman contest with the entire crew of a naval ship and won handily#now did he ever come up against a tougher son of a bitch than dde? unlikely#but I'm still giving it to Lincoln#op#shitpost

so I'd assumed the reason there wasn't any naval warfare to speak of between Xadia and the human kingdoms for a thousand years was that the Spinning Sea prevented east/west travel in the south Charybdis-style and the Frozen Sea prevented it in the north The Terror-style, but s5 shows that apparently??? they've been able to just sail around the Spinning Sea???? all along??????
anyway I was thinking about that and piracy and was suddenly like "wait a minute, none of these fucking ships have any cannons, what the Disney-ass fuck???" and it honest to god took me a solid five minutes to remember that there's probably still a generation or two between now and someone in Katolis inventing gunpowder and causing everyone to have a bad time
#anyway xadian naval combat for piracy is probably mostly sky and ocean magic so#and finnegrin's giant crab#but yeah makes sense why a lot of skywing elves would bother to become sailors i guess

I love all of the og Top Gun fics I read, but it always bugs me when the female reader is in Top Gun with Goose, Mav, and Iceman. Because the Navy didn't even let women be fighter pilots when the movie came out. They were granted that in the mid 90s. And the first woman to graduate Top Gun was in 2004. Some historical inaccuracies in fics are to be expected, but it bugs me to no end that how sexist the Navy was (and still is) is so glossed over in day to day life, that people just assume women were allowed to be fighter pilots in the 80s- 30 to 40 years ago.
#thank you for coming to my ted talk#my dad made me watch a documentary on tomcat f14s earlier#which briefly mentioned the first female combat qualified naval aviator#her name was Kara Hultgreen#that was in 1994#kat rambles#top gun#top gun fics#maverick x reader#iceman x reader#goose x reader

The article "German Human Torpedoes — D-Day’s Nazi Suicide Subs?" by Tom Laemlein explores the development and deployment of the Nazi "human torpedo" mini-submarine during World War II. Developed by the Kriegsmarine under Richard Mohr, these manned torpedoes, including the initial Neger and later Marder models, were part of Germany's desperate attempts to counter Allied naval forces during the Mediterranean and Normandy invasions. Despite their simplistic design, these weapons were highly dangerous to both their operators and enemy forces, often resulting in a high mortality rate among pilots. The article details the technical specifications, operational challenges, and significant combat engagements involving these mini-subs, concluding with insights from U.S. Naval Intelligence based on interrogations of captured German pilots.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has conducted a special operation in Novorossiysk Bay, Russia, and a naval drone damaged the Olenegorskiy Gornyak large landing ship.
Source: an Ukrainska Pravda source in the Security Service of Ukraine
Quote: "The video shows a SBU surface drone loaded with 450 kilograms of TNT attacking an enemy ship with about 100 crew members on board."(..)
P.S. Very good news! Ukrainian drone operations against Russian Black Sea Navy warships are quite successful... In fact, all cargo ships servicing Russian ports are also a perfectly legitimate target, as Russian foreign trade and shipping companies finance Russian war and Russian army war crimes against Ukrainian civilians.
