Parade Magazine is apologizing for a design error that depicted a Nazi battleship in a story about an award winning U.S. Navy chef… Read more: link |

Somewhere in the last year someone used a Russian ship picture in a US Navy story or something like that. My bet the answer is no, not without posting the question of the ship or suggestions about which ship should be worthy of the article. |

Maybe, depends on the period and how OCD you were.
It is interesting that the "typical" Roman armour, Lorica segmentata, would not have been associated with Julius Ceasar, not with Hannibal, not with Spartacus. You wouldn't know this from the various History Channel shows. Nor from my primary source, Astrix. |

"Nazi Battleship" ………?
I thought "Nazi" was a political party? Just say'n…. |

Depends on the gamer. I have as much interest in naval stuff as I do in pedicures. I couldn't distinguish a 1939 German cruiser from a 2009 British frigate. |

I guess fact checking is too hard. |

Unless it was a serious WWII naval gamer, I am sure they would have. |

After all,  ????? |

Chef? Especially good beans and coffee then? |

After all, ????? Much like NBC or ABC or CBS or the New York Times, or… |

liborn, the story was .
This is not a big story, Parade said they were sorry. They were actually trying to honor a fellow chief. I served in the Navy from 1974 to 2003.
You are correct any naval wargamer would not have made this mistake. |
| Landorl | 21 May 2013 7:24 p.m. PST |
How many wargamers would make the mistake of calling a German battleship a "Nazi" Battleship? |

It gets my dander up when anyone in the media make mistakes like this….they are supposed to be professionals…..I really think someone should be fired….. |

This looks like the art director or graphic designer just grabbed some clip art and didn't catch it. Lets be honest, how many of the readers would have actually caught on to this one? I suspect that most would have thought, "Ohh it's a battleship!" Most would have been lucky to guess that much from the graphic, let alone get the nationality. Still I can see some old codger wandering over to his bookshelf, pulling down his dogeared, water-stained and heavily creased naval recognition guide from WWII, carefully flipping pages until he found the right one. Upon seeing the correct image he shouts "Aha! I knew it! A Tirpitz class! How could these fools not know it wasn't a US ship?!" Or maybe it was just a dweeby gamer instead… |

I'm not a real naval gamer, but I can spot the German WW2 big ships – they were quite distinctive. Laziness. |

liborn was doghoused for politics. I didn't realize Fox was a political party. Interesting. |

John McCain comically projected an image of my Junior High School (or Middle School, as it is now detestably called), Walter Reed, behind him as he gave his keynote address to the RNC in 2008. He doubtless intended to have an image of Walter Reed *Hospital.* I'm guessing this is a similar case: An intern is told to get an image of X; intern uses Google image search, puts image into production; hilarity ensues. |

Thanks I remember seeing it,didn't recall the reason |

Who looks at the graphics behind a picture of a chef in parade on a Sunday morning anyway? I remember the article and also remember that breakfast was more important than finishing the article. |

i can top it all, at the VA DAV resource office in downtown Louisville there is a photo mural of troops and vehicles on the wall to the right as you go in. they are photographs of French troops and French vehicles…..Now having said that, let me state for the record….I served with French Infantry in Afghganistan for some 4 months or so, I found them to be competent, disciplined and reliable, and I would not hesitate for an instant to serve alongside them again. THEY WERE GOOD SOLDIERS, so stop the French bashing, its uncalled for. The first wounded we carried in when I was "in country" was some ANA and a couple of French grunts. i think I hijacked the thread,,,,sorry |
