(Fictional story) 4 Runners and a Bear

  Disclaimer : the following article is a purely fictional story, it is not taken from any real life events other than a few based on general naval combat during The Second World War

  it is said that in November 1941, 3 German destroyers, the Z23, Zl Leberecht Maas, and Z17 Diether von Roeder, was patrolling just off the west coast of France, when suddenly they got a report from a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor maritime patrol plane reporting the sighting of 2 Royal Navy vessels just 39 miles or 62 kilometers north of their position, the destroyers quickly approached the target location, within an hour the destroyers saw both ships from 10.000 yards away, or about 9 kilometers, they scrambled over to attack, Z23 and Z17 went east to flank the bigger vessel, while Z1 Leberecht Maas went head to head against what seems to be a destroyer, and they were right.

   the destroyer was the HMCS Assiniboine, a Canadian destroyer class ship tasked with escorting the light cruiser HMS Dido, they were on regular patrol off the south coast of England, the fist shot was fired by HMS Dido at the destroyer Z1 Leberecht Maas, but missed, Assiniboine turned hard to port and full steamed ahead to engage Z1 Leberecht Maas, not knowing the presence of the other 2 enemy vessels.

   Z23 fired its 15cm guns on HMS Dido, Z17 did the same, both shots landing close in the waters around HMS Dido, while Dido concentrated its fire on Z1 Leberecht Maas, Z1 was hit with 4 shells from Dido's 5.25 inch guns, and a further 6 shells from Assiniboine's 4.7 inch guns, disabling 2 of it's torpedo launchers and the rangefinding system, making it harder to determine the ranges of the allied vessels, and a fire had spread on the crew compartment.

   taking advantage of the distracted Allied vessels, Z23 and Z17 both turned to it's side to fire salvos, they barraged HMS Dido for about 10 minutes until HMS Dido turned it's guns on them, a 40 minute firefight between the vessels commenced, the Dido having difficulties aiming due to the damage suffered by the initial barrage, it was then heavily damaged and tried to retreat, however the lightly damaged Z23 puts the final blow into the light cruiser, sinking the crippled vessel, now their attention turns towards the HMCS Assiniboine.

seeing the situation, the HMCS Assiniboine rushed to the now crippled Z1 Leberecht Maas, firing everything it had as a revenge for the loss ship, after sinking the German vessel, it charged at Z17 and Z23, the ship managed to maneuver around the shells fired by the other 2 German vessel, and successfully ramming Z23 on its port side, leading to imbalances in the hull of both ships, but in a very risky move the Assiniboine fired at point blank range, damaging itself and Z23 in the process, both of them continued firing at each other at point blank range, with main guns, light AA guns, and heavy AA guns, in the end both of them sank with almost all hands, leaving Z17 to carry out the evacuation, in the end, 14 German sailors and 7 British sailors were rescued, and they returned to France shortly after.

My Favorite Animal : The Spinosaurus

The Spinosaurus

The Spinosaurus was 15 meter high, 7.5 ton Theropod that lives during the upper Albanian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, approximately 112 to 93.5 million years ago, the Spinosaurus lived in what is now North Africa, the Spinosaurus' bones were discovered in 1912 but was not explained until 1915 by paleontologist Ernst Stormer, it was one of the most unique dinosaurs as distinguished by its "spine" On its back, this is where the name Spinosaurus came from, which means "Spine Lizard".

The Spinosaurus is a carnivorous type of dinosaurs, in fact it is one of the biggest, even then it feast on bigger species among the Titanosaur, and it had to defend itself from the 10 meter long crocodylomorph Stomatosuch and the 12 meter long, 10 ton Sarcosuchus which is a type of prehistoric crocodile that lived in the same areas as the Spinosaurus, it is also known that the Spinosaurus can swim

Despite the fossils found are from Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, the contents from it's stomach are analyzed to be of European and South American specimens, as the part of Pangea it's in broke apart in the Jurrasic era, though it is known that the Spinosaurus lived in the African Coast, where the weather is hot and humid, although by 94 million years ago the Spinosaurus lived in North Africa, where the area was now surrounded by sea and the preys were mostly water based animals, this may have caused the Spinosaurus to change it's diet and repurposed it's spine as some sort of a swimming fin or a rudder to help the Spinosaurus in the water. 

Why did I like the Spinosaurus?, well it's because not only does it looks cool, it is also one of the contenders for the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex, also it is a fast runner, about 17km/h tops, yet with that it can also swim, which is a unique ability to have for a dinosaur this big. 

I hope y'all enjoyed this small blog about the Spinosaurus, I'll be sure to make more when the time is available, have a nice day and see you soon. 

Biography : Erwin Rommel

Helloo again readers, today i'll tell you about my own inspiration, and person is Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel, or widely known as Erwin Rommel
    

So, Who is Erwin Rommel?

Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defense Force) of Germany during World War ll, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany

Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, "the Desert Fox". Among his British adversaries he earned a strong reputation for chivalry, and the North African campaign has often been called a "war without hate". He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944.

Why did i choose this Rommel as my inspiration?

Rommel was a very advanced military commander in World War ll, he was able to lead his army in a very professional way and thus gain staggering amounts of victory, notably during the North African Campaign, yet despite him being on the Axis side, he always respected his enemy and never committed war crimes unlike any other Axis division during World War ll, he deliberately disobeyed Hitler's orders to execute any enemy personnel captured by his division, in return he was both respected and praised back by the Allies, he was also considered one of the best generals of World War ll.

Rommel has become a larger-than-life figure in both Allied and Nazi propaganda, and in postwar popular culture, with numerous authors considering him an apolitical, brilliant commander and a victim of the Third Reich. Rommel's reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interest of the West German rearmament and reconciliation between the former enemies – the United Kingdom and the United States on one side and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. Several of Rommel's former subordinates, notably his chief of staff Hans Speidel, played key roles in German rearmament and integration into NATO in the postwar era. The German Army's largest military base, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, is named in his honour.

That's all I can tell, about this person, if you want to know more you can visit his Wikipedia page or any website detailing this person, thank you for reading and see you next time!

My Experience in the Jakarta Mall Aquarium

Jakarta Mall Aquarium

Good day everybody, today i'll tell you about my experience in Jakarta Mall Aquarium     


    On my holiday in June i went to visit Jakarta's Mall Aquarium with my aunt, mother, and brother, we set off from Bogor by car at around 8 AM and arrived at 1.30 PM, at first we planned to eat but it was delayed until after we've finished going around the aquarium, since my aunt had ordered the tickets online and we were expected to be there at 2 PM, so after registering the ticket we entered the aquarium and began looking around.

    turns out the aquarium wasn't 100% an aquarium because the first section we entered was mostly about land animals, and also mostly insects and other small animals, but nevertheless it is very interesting, we saw a huge variety of these animals like crabs, snakes, stick insects, spiders, otters etc, then at the next section was about freshwater fishes, there were 3 tanks (which is an aquarium but looks like a transparent water tank), both filled with these fishes, there were Arowanas, Basins, Oscars, Guppies, etc.

    then we moved on to shallow ocean animals, these included small sharks, rays, starfishes, and even the Horsehoe Crab, which is considered a living fossil since it had not evolved much in 450 million years, they were placed in this open-topped aquarium and you can pet the sharks and some of the rays, however you must wash your hands before and after petting to avoid contamination to either the animals or visitors.

    then, the next section is the sea creatures, there's so many aquariums here (because, well, its an aquarium), and there were small, colorful fishers and anemones, then there's jellyfishes, squids and another living fossil called the Nautilus, and then the next one is the main attraction, the giant aquarium

    That's the picture I took while in the giant aquarium, it shows the biggest fish on that aquarium, the giant grouper, it is around 1.5m long and weights around 300 kg, besides that there were sharks, rays, salmons, and other fishes, we looked around for about 30 minutes then we got to watch a mermaid show, and some cleaning of the floor of the aquarium as well, just after 16.10 PM we decided to call it a day and went out to eat, it was one of the most fantastic day of my holiday.
