The tenuous link to the board game is when our plucky heroes use some kind of grid in the battle of U.S.S. Missouri and the hell spawned nasty alien spaceship.Watched the movie "Upgrade" last night.
Interesting movie with a bunch of unexpected twists but I am not sure I would recommend it.
Definitely interesting though.
Rewatched the movie "Battleship" a few nights ago. It is definitely a fun movie.
I don't see how it has much to do with the Hasbro board game though.
DDG 175 Myoko was in the movie.
When I was in Japan, the latest of the DDG 173 Kongo class was the DDG 174 Kirishima but that was a LONG time ago..
Yeah, who'd do that?As a side note:
I find it interesting that Japan happens to be using ship class/christened names that "happen" to be from former class/ships of WWII service.
True, but no Bismarck, Tirpitz or Prince Eugen?Yeah, who'd do that?
Bon Homme Richard, Wasp, Essex, Enterprise.
Prince of Wales, Anson, Audacious, Enterprise.
Cavour, Andrea Doria, Caio Duilio.
Hobart, Canberra, Perth.
I don't know, perhaps a bouquet of Flowers?
I really enjoyed Upgrade.Watched the movie "Upgrade" last night.

I get it, reusing names like some navies.Many of these names were names of a geographical feature of Japan, such as a mountain range or province and that isn't going to change.
Some other ships I encountered when I was over there shared names with WW2 era ships but they were named after different kinds of storms or atmospheric events. They have a tendency to name a whole class of ship after variations on storms. For a non Japanese speaker, it gets a bit confusing. I know I was aboard one of the -kaze's but can't remember which one.
That was a story.You've never heard of HMS Boaty McBoatface?
Saw that too. A tad over acted to my liking.Kingdom of the planet of the apes.
Well it has apes in it and its on a planet.
Other than that it was crap
