Is that the ship's REAL name? Sounds like something from an old Frank Zappa song!


Yes .. it is correct ... the 4000 ton minelayer ( ex-Vittorio Locchi, cargo vessel built for Italian Tirrenia S. A. Nav.) "KUCKUCK" sunk on 24/02/1945, Fiume (Rijeka), Yugoslavia

I cook real bacon, eggs, hash browns and coffee every weekend when my wife is off from work. That one in the picture is a fast food but not from a fast food place.....if that makes any sense. I don't think my sons even do breakfast, they are in their 30s and 40s.
 
On March 1, 1942, IJA 16th Army began to land Java Island. Operation completed on the 9th.
Local people were watching how to fight well for their future independence as Indonesia.

You need to move to Hilo Hawaii where smallest item on the breakfast menu means you will get two big plates of food, overflowing, for starters. I ordered with hash brown and toast and thought that was the full order but then the waitress said did I want the pancake or waffle. I said pancake, thinking a single small one but that really meant a three 10 inch diameter half inch thick pancakes on their own plate, with syrup etc. No wonder so many Americans are obese.
