Neopump.jpg - A photo of the Neosho pumping after taking a couple of hits from the Scorpion, (For damage control testing purposes, the only hits taken that day).
Scharn.jpg - A small shot of the Scharnhorst as it cruises past the shoreline.
Slug.jpg - A shot of the Sea Slug before the battle.
Scorp1.jpg - Shot of the internals of the Scorpion, a armed Liberty ship. This ship was the hero of the day, landing hits on both the Axis ships, with only a few dents in return. Notice the secret fuel beside the stern.
Warf.jpg - The Duestchland taking practise shots
at the Coastal Target. Notice the truck floating in the water closer to
the Camera. This was hit during the previous run of the Duestchland.
By the end of the day the Crane was collasped and both trucks ended up
in the water.
