Okay heres the second odd question it will be worth 100 milbucks to the first person that answers it correctly. Please read the whole question...


Capt. Charles B DeBellevue is credited with six aerial victories during the Viet Nam conflict, making him the number one United States Air Force scoring person. Yet there is something unusual about the then Captain DeBelleyue and his victories that make them…well Odd. What makes his victories odd?

good luck.

He was the first non-pilot ace and leading ace of the Vietnam War. He was an F-4 weapon system officer with the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron.

I don't know if this is right, but here goes. Capt. DeBellevue was the first non-pilot ace in the USAF during the Vietnam War.

Okay my hearties...arrrrrgh shiver me timbers and here be one from Davy Jones Locker

This is a 5 part question: all five questions must be gotten right for you to get the Milbucks. So for 50 Milbucks here is your question:

1. What was the name and number designation of a USN warship that was captured and used by the Japanese navy during WWII?

2. What was her designation when the Japanese navy used her?

3. Where did the American authorities finally find her?

4. What was her final job before her retirement?

5. Where is her final resting-place? A general geographical location will do.


You might get some none or all from google on this one...good luck. Remember to get the bucks, you have to get all five answers correct.
