EDIT: removed the Object 279.... I swear the last count on my screen was 278, I guess I was looking at a cached page.  sorry bout that.

We seem to have gotten off track here.....

Junkers 287

Yeah seems to be a little bit off in the text and hull number there with the Bowfin.

Not that I'm complaining- I love that Object 279!!! Such a freaky looking tank!

My bad...I fat-fingered it!

Ferarri 288 GTO

I had one of these. 1965 Mustang. Why did I ever sell it?

What I really wanted:

subfixer

Ferarri 288 GTO

One of the nicest cars to exist

Ford 289 High Performance engine.  When I was in high school my motor head freind had a '67 Mustang 2+2 and it was smokin'.

Oh crap... missed that "289"  was all ready there.  Oops.  I got nothin' for 290

Ju 290

I dunno why you got rid of her either Subfixer- she was sharp! And that's coming from a Chevy guy! 

CSS Alabama - Laird Shipyard contract 290 

Before the cruiser CSS Alabama could begin her famous campaigns, she had to get out of England without being impounded by British authorities.  Once completed at Laird's shipyard, a ship known only as No. 290 left Liverpool, England on August 17, 1862 with a group English businessman, shipyard workers, custom officers, and well-dressed women for a "trial cruise."  After a few hours at sea, a tugboat came alongside and removed all the passengers except a skeleton crew needed to operate the ship.  The ruse was necessary to avoid British neutral laws and get the ship to sea as quickly as possible.  With this part of the ruse complete, the ship headed southwest for the Azores.  

Further cloaking, however, was necessary.  When No. 290 arrived in the Azores, she met up with the steamer Bahama and the sail barque Aggripnia.  Bahama left Liverpool about the same time as No. 290, carrying Captain Raphael Semmes and his staff (most of whom were previously on CSS Sumter) on board.  The sail barque carried several large naval weapons. 

PS: Whoops sorry Bish...

No worries, yours is a great account, and even coming from a Germaholic, a much better 290.

Was the ship built in England, or had she been visiting when the war started.

Oh Bish, sorry guess what I posted wasn't too clear. The Alabama was built at Birkenhead, England  as the Enrica without many questions asked by Laird Shipyards. She sailed before Union agents could get her impounded for the Azores where she ended up armed, taking on a military crew, and then having her name changed to CSS Alabama. 

After the Trent Affair where a US Navy warship ran down, boarded, and illegally searched a British merchantman carrying Confederate ambassadors to Britain and France the Crown, Parliament as well as British public opinion was such I don't think anyone really cared to look under the rather flimsy cover story of the Enrica.   Several Confederate ships were built in British and French shipyards until the CSA started losing and Lincoln was able to put more diplomatic pressure to get them shut down. Interesting stuff!   

USS Crevalle (SS-291)

USS Reid DD-292

The world needs a good injection molded flush deck destroyer, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Mr. White? .

I'd own a fleet of them. Or is it a flotilla?

Was flotilla a son of Godzilla?
