Got a brand I can google? After looking at that blueprint... I'd rather say 'here horsey horsey!'. When my father's LST was beach near Hiroshima, there was nothing to do on it so part of the crew was suppose to go across town do help with some paperwork jobs... the captain hired a Japanese double decker bus to transpost the guys... he said the driver would stop in the middle of nowhere, grab some what we now know was radioactive wood, and put it in a tank in the back of the bus... take off his dirty gloves, put on white gloves and start driving again. The crew got a kick out of that, they thought it was a small wood burning steam train engine in there- they started getting out and helping him collect ... radioactive ...wood every trip. Funny any of them are still alive... [Reply]  [No Email]
