Paddler with No Water (Blog II)

Ex-paddler and ex-pat Canuck currently living in Japan. This blog is a continuation of a similarly named blog I have on another blog platform.

Sometimes…

...I took screenshots before deciding whether or not to watch.  Sometimes I just stopped to take a screenshot before going on to something else more promising looking.

 

First off, another odd looking airplane.   Tongue in cheek I came to the the conclusion that the creators are using AS (artificial stupidity) graphic generating software which prioritizes landing gear over propellers in its images.

Yes, I steered clear of this video.

 

Likewise for this one with the picture of the world's tubbiest looking submarine.

 

I did take a peak at this one once I knew that the picture was utterly misleading.  The story of U-110 is important but I doubt it ever was photographed in this state....

I stopped watching at the point where I was shown an image of what I suspected was a post-WW2 frigate.


This one had me puzzled because I couldn't find a photograph of an abandoned Oberon class submarine that matched.   Needless to say I was not fooled into believing it was USS Grunion. 

I believe I have watched a video describing the final resting place of USS Grunion and the three sons of its commanding officer seeking closure.  Or perhaps I didn't.  This is a Wiki entry on the sub: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Grunion

 

Then there's this video.  I quickly lost interest in the video as it just droned on about the history of the B-24 bomber.

In my boredom I scrolled down a list of other videos and stopped when I came across this....

So I tapped to stop the first video and started searching for something else to watch

This one I watched about ten seconds of.  In short, I watched perhaps a second or more of each chapter in the video.  By then I had a feeling I wasn't going to learn anything about a beached armoured or protected cruiser hulk with something that had the same shape as a Star of David on its bow.  Nothing else to report on here....
