Star trek
Have you ever heard of Star trek?Star trek is a fictional series of five TV shows ranging from 3 to 7 seasons long(as well as about 10 movies)based in the future.Here they are in order:Star trek:The Original Series(TOS),Star trek:The Next Generation(TNG),Star trek:Deep Space Nine(DS9),Star trek:Voyager(VOY)and Star trek:Enterprise.
My favourite one so far(my family is watching them)is Voyager.It starts in the year 2371 when the starship USS Voyager and its crew are stranded 70,000 light years(the distance light travels in a year)and has to overcome various problems on its way home.

Panzer VI "Tiger" Tank
The development of this powerful and very famous German tank began in late summer of 1941 to counter the excellent Russian T-34 and KV-1 tanks. The final two designs were personally presented to Hitler on his birthday by two very famous German tank manufacturers, Henschel & son and Porsche(Porsche went on to make German cars).
After a tough decision, Hitler finally chose the Henschel design to go into mass production.The Tiger fought in many famous battles including the battle of Kursk and the battle of the bulge and was one of the best tanks in World war 2.

The battle of the nile
The battle of the Nile was a sea battle that took place on August 1st 1798 near the Nile delta,so here's how it goes:British admiral Horatio Nelson's Mediterranean fleet had been chasing the French Mediterranean fleet under command of admiral Bruyes since May when he finally found them on August 1st near the Nile delta.In the furious attack that followed most of the French fleet was overpowered and surrendered within a few hours.
Bruyes died of his injuries in the middle of the battle and his flagship,the massive 120 gun ship of the line Orient,blew up and sank around midnight.By dawn on August 2nd,only one french ship in the area was still flyng french colours(all the others having surrendered,been destroyed or escaped) and then it too surrnendered.The ships that escaped were blockaded in a French port.

The battle of midway part 2
The American dive-bombers arrived over the Japanese fleet at about 10:20(Hawaiian time i think).At this time the First wave had returned to the Japanese fleet and was being re-fuelled and re-armed for another attack on midway.This made the carriers floating bombs and their fighters were destroying the last of the torpedo-bombers so it could not have been a worse time(for the Japanese)for the American dive bombers to arrive over the Japanese fleet.
They quickly turned three of the four carriers into raging infernos but left the fourth one undamaged because they didn't know where it was.The fourth carrier attacked the American carriers with dive and torpedo-bombers and badly damaged one of the American carriers witch was later sunk by a Japanese submarine.Then more American dive-bombers sank her too. However, the battle wasn't over yet.on June 6 they found and attacked two heavy cruisers,of witch they sank one and badly damaged another.
This is midway.

The battle of midway part 1
The battle of midway started out as a Japanese plan to capture the minor American base on midway atoll.However,the Japanese still didn't know the Americans had cracked their code(they cracked it just days after pearl harbour.The Americans quickly figured out there would be an attack on midway and even figured out the day the Japanese would land,June 6 1942.
The Americans prepared their fleet for an ambush on the Japanese fleet.Early on June 4th American scout planes sighted the Japanese fleet.The Americans launched the first wave of torpedo bombers which were slaughtered by enemy fighters.The enemy had already launched their first wave to attack midway.
The Americans then launched their dive-bombers to attack.
To be continued......

The battle of Trafalgar was fought between a British fleet (27 Ships of the-line and 6 others Commanded by admiral Horatio Nelson) and the combined Franco-Spanish fleet (33 Ships-of-the-line and 7 others Commanded By vice-admiral Pierre-Charles Villneuve).On the morning of October 21st 1805,Nelson ordered a two collum attack into the broadside of the Franco-Spanish fleet
By mid-afternoon,Nelsons bold attack plan had succeded(he destroyed or captured about 25 ships)and he had lost none of his own.Despite this,there had been heavy losses,several ships were badly damaged and Nelson himself died of his injuries towards the end of the battle.Of the 20-25 ships captured,only four made it into British port,most were sunk in the hurricane the next day or recaptured in the days that followed.
The two-collum attack that Nelson used.
