[Historical Inspirations] Cuisine of the U.S. Navy – Cod Balls

Hi everyone! Tautog here again. I’m actually, technically, um, not a part of the Navy Foods book. But, well, Pacific’s about shipgirls and shipgirls doing usually cute things and America and –

Yawn Yeah you can tell I just got out of bed. Blurgh! Focus, Tautog, focus!

Okay. So, as we work on organization and translation and all that fun stuff, we also want to write about new stuff.

Site Reorganization II: Lore & Timeline Pages

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note here. We’ve started and organized the site’s content and basically consolidated them into two pages. While these aren’t everything we’ve done, it should be a good part to get started if you’re interested in digging a bit deeper.

The lore page is organized by content category. The timeline page arranges events by chronology. They’re also added to the drop-down menus for easy access.

As I mentioned before, we get pretty busy around this time of the year. Still, we’re just moving things along, so thank you for dropping by. 🙂
