The Harekaze's Real Battle Damage

Why Did She Sink? SPOILERS AHEAD The last two episodes of, what I hope to be, the first Season of High School Fleet (also known as Haifuri) is, I think, one of the greatest animated naval combat moments ever. Spread out over two episodes, the  Harekaze catches up to the Musashi  and is ordered to keep track of the other vessel until the Blue Mermaid fleet arrives and can disable the Musashi  and board her to save the crew from the effects of a virus. The only crew on the battleship not affected are the Captain and several Bridge crew as well as a crewmember they found being chased. Of note is the fact that Musashi 's Captain, Moeka China, is friends with the Harekaze 's Captain, Akeno Misaki since their childhoods. Now we come to the point of this blog post - why does the damage heard, seen and discussed not match up with how she sinks later on... Shortly after making contact with Musashi , the Harekaze  is fired upon. There are no hits seen or mentioned,...

A Visit To The Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway - 11/11/17

After arriving at the station via a previously unknown National Express service between Hull and Cleethorpes (it goes to London) and a quick hop on a local Stagecoach, I purchased an All Day Ticket  at Lakeside Station and went to the platform where the coaching stock was being prepared.

At least it was for me! I made myself known to the driver who remembered me from past visits and to the guard who seemed friendly indeed. Departure was prompt at 10:50 from Platform 3 (1 and 2 are OOU most of the time and used for storing coaching stock and only really used when there are major events on) for the first run of the day to Kingsway. We stopped at the loco sheds though to allow a small party of people to get off there to work on engines and other items. Upon restarting, it was discovered Ef...

Why I Am Grateful To My Railway Family and Friends

Over the last few months, I've been able to greatly indulge my passion for trainspotting - indeed, some weeks ago I "scored" my first ride on the new Crossrail/Elizabeth Line Class 345 EMUs (albeit as a TFL Rail service). Now, you might be wondering if I am rich to be able to afford all these trips out, but this is not the case at all... If some of you read my lengthy post a while ago (Click here for a Read), you will know that I suffer from bouts of depression - I am thankful that the extremes of depression are not so bad most days when it happens which is often far apart! The health problems, though, are not too bad at the moment, but can sometimes flare up badly. Because of this and the fact I am not always in the best of health with a long term complaint/issue, I don't always get to do my hobby of train spotting which is something I have loved for my entire life. # After settling all of my bills and prescription charges, I put what's left aside and save up...
