Our decade was the golden age of family TV and movie making with so many big hits. Some of them I still enjoy today and this one, Westworld, I can't seem to see too many times.

Made for TV movie Trilogy of Terror starring Karen Black -1975. Did you watch this thing as a kid? I did and I slept with the lights on for a week before Mom told me I couldn't anymore. I wish I had noticed then how phony the fake teeth look, it may have taken a lot of the edge off.

Royal Navy HMS Otus(1024x734), an Oberon Class submarine. This very successful and long lived class of submarine would be on the shortlist of the best ever designed. Known for their quiet during operation, they served in five navies. The last being retired in 2000.

HMCS Fraser DDH(2916x2146). Canada's Anti-Submarine Cold War era role. She had little capacity to deal with aircraft and no capacity at all to deal with another warship, but with ASW torpedoes, a MK 10 Limbo, a helicopter, and a full sensor suite, she was a serious threat to Soviet submarines.

HMCS Regina(2112x1516), a WW2 Flower Class Corvette. These ships were the unsung heroes of the Battle of the Atlantic. 295 of these 'trawlers' were built. Armed with sonar and depth charges they 'swarmed' the shipping lanes and thwarted many U Boat attacks, allowing merchant ships to reach port.

A Royal Navy WW2 poster I saw as a child At (826x1125) the resolution is a bit small but I couldn't get it any larger. I wanted to share this because this captured the majesty and magic of the RN that ruled the Atlantic that a child grew up with lost in the imagination of his library books.

The preserved state of the art WW2 German submarine Type XXI Wilhelm Bauer(1776x1239) exhibited at the Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven.

Built between 1943 and 1945, The Type XXI submarine was a revolutionary class of German diesel-electric "Elektroboot" U-boats.

Built to spend almost all of its time underwater, breaking the traditional mold of surface ships that merely submerged to hide.Powered by huge battery setups that enabled underwater speeds of up to 17–18 knots, faster than their top surface speed. Included a hydraulic rapid-reload system allowing 18 torpedoes to be loaded and fired in rapid succession. Designed with an optimized hydrodynamic shape to run quiet and equipped with advanced passive/active sonar gear.

The arrival of these advanced submarines could not alter the course of the war, Germany's fate was sealed and defeat was inevitable.

The 1980's began with the final chapter of our 1970's beloved All in the Family, as Archie mourns Edith's last good-bye. I watched this tonight before I shared it and I still bawled my eyes out after all these years.

WW2 battleship HMS Rodney(707 × 900) and her sister ship Nelson. Rodney's 16 inch guns were the most powerful in the Atlantic and her role against the Bismark was vital in Bismark's defeat in her final battle.
