Subject: Graeylin's Military Trivia

Okay, another day, and we've doubled our readership!

And, we've had some success! Napalm in the AM nailed the first daily trivia correct: Sailors aboard the USS Lexington had Ice Cream as their last meal aboard ship. As the battle raged around them, the Lexington was damaged, and sinking, and the quartermasters opened the freezers, and started handing out as much ice cream as the sailors could take. Knowing it would sink with the ship, the QM's decided to give the sailors a last treat, as they abandoned ship! Some sailors reported scooping complete helmets full, and eating it as they waited for orders.

Yesterday's question is still not answered, so here's a hint: Tiger tanks were first introduced by the German Army on the Eastern Front, not the Western.... So it wasn't the British that accounted for the destruction of the first two.
