What would Elon Musk be up to in RD+20?

25 to life?

Deceased?

By the way, Matt, what CVW did the Theodore Roosevelt do her shakedown cruise with, ITTL?

[Bernard Woolley]

Depends on where he was on The Day in 1985, I guess.

Good point, Bernard.

Good point, Bernard.

Looks like in @ he was in South Africa until 1989, when he arrived in Canada. So, I guess he would be alive in the RD-verse. OTOH, he was thrown down some stairs and beaten badly when he called a fellow school pupil who had just lost his father to suicide stupid. Perhaps he’s less lucky and ends up with life changing injuries, or worse.

I would think that maybe the RD-verse US Government might be less tolerant of someone getting money out of them by claiming to already have been money from a car manufacturer. And vice versa.

Did Guantanamo Bay Naval Base fell ore did it endure a siege during the war.

[Wolfman]

It fell, Lordroel, and the Soviet and Cuban forces also took USS Prairie (AD-15) along with it when she ducked into Guantanamo Bay to avoid a hurricane…

Did the US retake it during the Cuban blockade ore was it handed back over.

[Wolfman]

It wasn’t retaken until the Cuban Intervention the year before the Baja War…

[Lordroel]

It wasn’t retaken until the Cuban Intervention the year before the Baja War…

So that would mean it was Cuban occupied for almost 30 years.

24.

[Wolfman]

It was basically abandoned, what with USS Prairie (AD-15) having been sunk in the channel…

Theodore Roosevelt put to sea with CVW-8 while Nimitz was in Norfolk, getting a full repair for her damage on Day One. The job done in Haifa by the workers flown there was good enough, but a full repair meant time in Norfolk.

[Wolfman]

ISTR that CVW-8 broke down to the individual squadrons and that they took the long way home…

Question, did B-52s dropped mines in the Baltic Sea from basses in the United Kingdom.

[Matt Wiser]

No, but FB-111s did-the Mark-62, 63, and 64 series of Quickstrike mines were based on the Mark-82 and the Mark-84 dumb bombs, which the Vark regularly carried. SAC Varks could and did seed parts of the Baltic Sea with those mines. The B-52s seeded the Kurils and Kamchatka.

So i assume the mine laying was not that far ahead when the Battle of the Baltic Exits happen in 1987

[Matt Wiser]

Correct: too many missions and not enough assets. And Soviet minesweeping, to its credit, did a good job in clearing some paths. But not all, and a few ships did become minesweepers-once.

Also East Germany would be busy in sweeping mines, they had a good mine sweeping force as well.

Lukedalton is at it again over on Lordroel’s forum…
