    Yep, they had to base-isolate the whole building, in toher words, digging out the ground under the foundation and putting in giant springs.

    The regilding of the dome was a little excessive though.

      As far as what people during WWII though, who cares. Most of them are dead or not long for the world anyway.
      Well, its kinda relevant if the Iowa did more to protect SF than Davenport, true? Physically and mentally...

      Anyway, a Japanese attack on the West Coast wasn't a serious threat. Even if we lost Hawaii we were effectively beyond the reach of a real attack (maybe a Doolittle type raid could be mounted).
      And this would have been the case if the US didn't have ships like the Iowa? You're essentially citing the navy's success as a reason why SF didn't need it's protection.



      As for the room problem, SF has more of it than most ports. I remember them parking carriers out at Hunter's Point for months at a time... a nice tourist attraction if nothing else. Now SF just pisses people off again and more people try to avoid visiting.

      And the school system sounds about the same (or worse) than when I was there.

        Wrong. The JIN didn't have the range to try and attack the U.S. mainland. Bascially they'd have needed to kick the U.S. out of Alaska, an extrodinarly unlikely possibility. Even then, U.S. airpower would have smashed their fleet.

          Gosh who would have thought it. Next you'll be telling us that politicians vote themselves inflation-busting payrises at every available opportunity and claim tens of thousands of dollars of expenses every month on the most frivolous items.

              They had no intention of attacking the US mainland in the first place. Their goal was to temporarily disable the American navy so that they had a free hand at expanding in East Asia. The attack on Pearl Harbour was already stretching Japanese logistic abilities to the limit.

              Now that this is settled: post more battleship pictures
