Le raid de Makin (17-18 août 1942) est une attaque des Marines américains contre les forces japonaises stationnées sur l'île de Makin dans l'archipel des Îles Gilbert. Le but de cette opération est de détruire les infrastructures des Japonais, de collecter des renseignements sur la zone de l'archipel des Gilbert, et d'opérer une diversion alors que dans le même temps la bataille de Guadalcanal commence. Seul le premier objectif sera atteint.

This Day in History: USS Nautilus
On this day in 1958, USS Nautilus travels under ice in the Arctic Sea. She’d just become the first to travel, submerged, under the North Pole. Nautilus’s journey under Arctic ice has been called the “Cold War’s most daring mission.”
Things were then in a difficult place, as relations between Russia and the United States became increasingly tense. A space race between the two mesmerized the world . . . but Russians appeared to be winning.
They’d launched Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite. Would Russians be able to launch nuclear weapons using the same rockets that had launched Sputnik? Americans needed to answer the stunning Russian achievement with one of their own.
The answer came in the form of a submarine, USS Nautilus. The story continues here: https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-uss-nautilus

Species: Human (partly cybernetic)
Home planet: irrelevant (he was born on a starship)
Rank: Commander (First Officer of the Nautilus)
Family: John “Calico Jack” Hawkins (grandfather)

Rank: Second Officer (Science Division), Lt. Commander
Family: Pearl (sister), Periwinkle (nephew)
Peso
Full name: Dr. Peso Morales

Rank: Chief Medical Officer
Family: Too many to name. His brother Pinto is a Starfleet ensign.
Dashi
Full name: Dashi Omura
Species: Trill (joined, fifth host of her symbiont)
Home planet: Trill
Rank: Lt. Commander (Chief of Operations)
Family: Koshi (sister)
Tweak
Full name: Ida “Tweak” Lagos

Home planet: Bajor (raised in Florida, on Earth)
Rank: Lieutenant (Chief Engineer)
Family: Marshall “Marsh” Fen (father)
Professor Inkling
Full name: Unknown
Species: Humanoid (very long lived)
Home planet: Unknown
Rank: Lieutenant

Species: Unknown (bipedal, piscine)
Home planet: CLASSIFIED
Rank: None
Family: Shellington Holmes (adoptive father), Barrot, Tominnow, Grouber, Codish, Pikato, and Halibeet (siblings)
Notes:
Tweak is properly addressed as “Lieutenant Ida.” (As per Bajoran customs, the surname comes first.)
Inkling is the oldest crew member, Tunip and his siblings are the youngest.
Yes, Shellington chose his name for himself. He is completely cisgender. He just wanted a different name. He would like to know why this is hard to understand.
By contrast, Kwazii is trans and has had the same first name his entire life.
Everyone has autism, anxiety, ADHD, or some combination of the above.
Everyone has also broken the Prime Directive at least once.
You would think that Kwazii would be guilty of breaking the Prime Directive, but it’s actually Peso and Shellington.
Behind the scenes for the names:
Barnacles: Purely going off vibes. “Bernard” seems like a good first name for him, and my idea was that “Barnacles” is a nickname that comes from his surname.
Kwazii: “Hawkins” is after Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island/Treasure Planet. Both stories involve sailing, adventure, and pirates.
Peso: Literally just looked up a bunch of Spanish surnames and decided “Morales” was the best.
Shellington. Looked up several Scottish surnames, and Holmes fit best. Bonus points because in the books, Shellington actually dresses up as Sherlock Holmes.
Dashi: Her last name comes from the Omura’s whale— one of the featured animals in The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire.
Tweak: “Ida” means “work” or “labor” in several languages. “Lagos” is Greek for rabbit or hare.
Inkling: I don’t know. I couldn’t think of a surname for him. He’s like Guianan. No other name. Just Inkling. That’s it.
The Vegimals: Since they are Shellington’s adopted children, they share his last name.

National Submarine Day
Pay tribute to the many souls lost beneath the ocean, and consider the game-changing effects of the invention of the Submarine on our technology, warfare, and more.How low… can you go? How low… can you go? When it comes to National Submarine Day, it’s easy to believe that it’s pretty low.
History of National Submarine Day
Some people may find it hard to believe that the first recorded submersible was built by Cornelius Drebbel in 1620! This underwater ship was apparently built for James I of England for use in London, although why anyone would want to plunge beneath the surface of a 17th century Thames is difficult to understand!
The original versions of submarines were built to hold only one or two passengers, but modern versions are made to hold up to 100 passengers. Typically, since this is a very dangerous job, militaries will use as few people on their crew as possible.
April 11, 1900 is the date when the United States government purchased its first commissioned submarine, named the USS Holland. The USS Holland was the United States Navy’s first commissioned submarine, named for her Irish-American inventor, John Philip Holland. (It is important to note that this was not actually the first submarine of the US Navy, which was the 1862 Alligator.) But this boat was originally laid down as Holland VI, and launched on 17 May 1897.
Having played major parts in military operations for over a century, today’s submarines are, of course, far more sophisticated than that particular oar-powered contraption. The amount of expertise that goes into their design, construction, maintenance and operation is quite staggering, especially when you take into account the inclusion of navigation and communication networks, sensors, armaments and weaponry, and powerful propulsion systems. This is all in addition to the most important part of a submarine: a large number of rigorously trained and highly skilled men and women who are often putting their lives on the line for their countries!
In honor of that first commissioning of the USS Holland in 1900, National Submarine Day was established to be celebrated each year on the anniversary of this date!
How to Celebrate National Submarine Day
Today’s observance of National Submarine Day can take on many forms. Here are some ideas for making plans, but feel free to go far beyond and get creative with some of your own ideas too!
Visit a Submarine
Those who are serious about observing National Submarine Day might want to consider taking a road trip to a museum or other exhibit where a submarine is accessible to the public. Smaller retired subs often find themselves put on display for adults and children to see and experience what it is really like, in places like children’s museums and science exhibits.
Various submarine tours can be found in port cities in the United States and other countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and many other European countries.
Learn Fun Facts About Submarines
In celebration of National Submarine Day, raise awareness for the day by learning about and sharing some of these interesting bits of trivia:
Submarines were used in the American Civil War. The South built small steam-powered subs called “Davids” to fire torpedoes at the ships from the North.
The furthest dive completed by a submarine was 35,858 feet.
The world’s first submarine for the military was designed in the US and built in 1776, the same year the US gained its independence.
The periscope, which is a vital tool for submarines, was invented in 1854 by a Frenchman.
Check Out the Submarine Force Library & Museum
In the US, the only submarine museum in the country that is run by the US Navy is located in the New England state of Connecticut. At the Submarine Force Library & Museum, the first nuclear powered submarine, the USS Nautilus, resides right outside the back doors of the building. Free tours of the sub are given for individuals, families, school trips and more. Scavenger hunts are also a fun way for folks to participate, especially in celebration of National Submarine Day!
Take a Moment to Consider Submarines
In celebration of National Submarine Day, perhaps it would be important to simply take some time to think about and consider this special feat of engineering. Take a moment to think about the ingenuity and majesty of the mighty submarine itself. Celebrate its place in the modern world. Or imagine what these submarines might be like in a hundred years’ time!
But perhaps most importantly, this would be an important time to take a moment to think about those whose lives have been lost at sea over the years and pay tribute to the courage of those who made a sacrifice, whether in the name of their countries or for increased knowledge and science.

🦑Nemo's Fury🦑
Tumblr media
I'd been looking forward to playing an indie RPG game, "Nemo's Fury," by Chris Hunneysett and Niall McLoughlin. I got the demo on my iPhone, but alas, I've an old phone which does not support the full version and I could not purchase it! 💔
Tumblr media
⬆️ (This is actual footage of the developers consoling me with the assurance that they are currently working on a desktop version.)
In the meantime I splurged and got the paperback book version of the game, which is much akin to those old "choose your own adventure" books I love so dearly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Premise: You play as an Irish-American who immigrated as a child when your family fled Ireland because of famine and land clearances instigated by aristocratic English landowners. Your family died of illness during the voyage to America, leaving you reason to be embittered at the British.
Your name is T.K. O'Connor. (Your appearance and gender is left up to to your own imagination.) Now as an adult you're an aspiring journalist who's been sent by your editor to investigate the reports of a sea monster which has been attacking ships.
You're sent aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (dun-dun-DUUUUUN!) along with a certain harpooner, a marine biology professor and his valet. Thus the adventure begins!
Tumblr media
Gameplay: You join the crew of the Nautilus, and Captain Nemo sends you on various missions
I will say there were actually quite a lot of typos. I noticed, for example, a point in a journey mission where I had to make a decision to "turn left" or "turn left." (I made the difficult decision to turn left in that situation.) Ned Land was referred to as "she" and "her" in at least a couple places, and I don't think the master harpooner would have been thrilled to be misgendered. (No hate; you'll notice my writing is rife with mistakes as well.) As far as I could tell, however, none of the typos I found really effected the essential mechanics of the game, which seemed pretty solid —and a lot of fun!
All you need is two 6-sided dice, a pencil and paper:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Storyline and characters: The book version is apparently simpler than the app version in terms of storyline and choices the player can make. I would have liked to have done a mission related to Captain Nemo smuggling gold to revolutionaries. Apparently there is such a mission in the app version!
That being said, although simpler, the book was still long and complex enough to be fun and interesting.
Captain Nemo did seem rather different in this story than he did in Jules Verne's books. Notably, instead of carrying a lot of barely repressed rage, his rage was, well...definitely not repressed. On a scale of Vladislav Dvorzhetsky to James Mason he was definitely more James Mason. (If you know, you know.)
Tumblr media
The idea, so far as I understood Mr. Hunneysett, was to let the player come to their own conclusion as to wether Captain Nemo was evil/untrustworthy or not, which I thought gave the game storyline a very compelling, suspenseful quality.
I always imagined the crew of the Nautilus as being highly disciplined, loyal and intelligent, and that Captain Nemo would have carefully hand-picked them from people he'd met in his travels as a young man.
In Nemo's Fury, however, the crew members are quite chaotic, and some of them are downright untrustworthy. Mr. Hunneyset imagined Captain Nemo having taken in "all the waifs and strays nobody else would touch," offering a semblance of belonging in his rag-tag crew. That creates an interesting dynamic where you as O'Connor must think through your interactions with the crew, because some of them have it in for the Captain, each other and possibly you. Having to decide if any given crew member is in the right or if they're really treacherous adds an intriguing dramatic element.
Tumblr media
Apparently there's more little subplots in the app version, such as something relating to Captain Nemo's love life (leaving me both worried and intrigued) and steampunk cyborgs!
I enjoyed the paperback version of "Nemo's Fury,” which is available on Amazon. The demo version of the ✨deluxe✨ game is free for Android and iPhone, with a desktop version currently in the works:
The same developers also have a delightful fantasy rpg series called "Game of Runes,” also available in paperback form on Amazon:
1: The Swamp of Nok
2: Marsh of Mayhem
3: Forest Infernal
Additionally, they have a desktop version FREE TO PLAY on itch.io which I have been spending copious amounts of time on:
I hope you all enjoy these games as much as I have!
Mobilis in Mobili! 🦑
