Only submarines move on Silent War is a solitaire simulation of the United States’ submarine the map. Each OpArea belongs to a geographic group, noted in war against Imperial Japan during the Second World War. The text on the top of each Activity Chart (examples: Empire, scenarios allow players to recreate various stages of the war or Indochina, North Pac(ific), South Pac(ific)). the entire campaign. In these scenarios, each player takes on the role of Commander Submarines, U.S. Pacific Fleet (ComSubPac), deploying available submarines from either Pearl Harbor or Australia in order to attack the Japanese Navy. Additionally, in the patrol game, using single submarines, players can recreate some of the war’s most famous patrols. [1.1] How to Read these Rules To help you quickly familiarize yourself with the game, a detailed sequence of play has been created. The rules follow this sequence: Set up the game, and follow the sequence of play to get an overview of game events. Then, begin the game, referencing the rules as you go. It is suggested new players first play a patrol scenario before proceeding to play a campaign game. Players may find it very helpful to read through the Comprehensive Example of Play found at the rear of the scenario book. This provides a solid overview of a typical turn and will allow players to see past the rules into the process. [2.0] GAME COMPONENTS Silent War has the following components: One Game Map One Combat Display One Charts & Tables Card One Submarine Tender Card One Counter Explanation/Sense of Scale Card One War Mix Table/ULTRA Table Card One SOP card (Silent War and Steel Wolves) Five Counter Sheets One Rules Book [2.2] Game Charts and Tables War Event Table There are a number of charts and tables in Silent War, some One Scenario Book printed on the map and others on a separate card.

They stretch from east-southeast to west-north­ west for a distance of 1660 nautical miles (1900 statute; 3057.74 kilomet- ers) or more, from the southeast side of Hawaii to beyond Midway and Kure. Each time a survey ship makes soundings along this strip it adds new sub­ merged peaks to the chain. We may divide the islands of the Hawaiian chain into three areas: (1) the eight main islands at the southeastern end; (2) the small rocky islets in the middle; and (3) the low sand and coral islands of the northwestern end.

  • Contribution to the Biology of the Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon Obesus)L
    Pacific Science (1977), vol. 31, no. 2 © 1977 by The University Press of Hawaii. All rights reserved Contribution to the Biology of the Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon obesus)l JOHN E. RANDALL2 ABSTRACT: The whitetip reef shark, Triaenodon obesus (Riippell), is broadly distributed in t4e tropical and subtropical Indian and Pacific oceans from the Red Sea (type locality) and east coast of Africa to the eastern Pacific. Formerly classified in the Triakidae, it is now regarded as a carcharhinid. It is distinctive in its slender body (depth about 7 in precaudallength), obtuse snout, 43 to 50 teeth in each jaw in at least two functional rows, the teeth with one or two small cusps on each side of the large central cusp, and white tips on at least the first dorsal fin and upper lobe of the caudal fin. It is closely associated with coral reefs and is often seen at rest in caves. There is evidence that this shark has a home cave to which it may return after foraging for food. Although reported to attain a total length of 7 feet (213 em) or more, the largest of 231 individuals measured by the author and associates was 168 em total length (135 cm precaudallength). Seven recoveries were made of 124 whitetips tagged at Johnston Island (time at liberty with tags 16 days to 2 years). Two of the tagged sharks were caught in the same area as that in which they were released and the others were taken .3 to 2.9 km from the tagging sites. The growth rate of the tagged sharks, which ranged from 81 to 105 em precaudallength, varied from 2.1 to 4.2 em/year.
