Temper, Temper
GOOD MORNING, KOREA!
You will command the USS Wisconsin an Iowa-class Battleship & the USS Duncan an O. H. Perry-class Frigate. Your objective is to rid the coast of filthy communist costal guns! The North Koreans are ready, Are You?
If you like BIG GUNS and SEXY IOWA you will Love This Scenario!
Mission is inspired the real event that took place on March 15, 1952.
On March 15, 1952, while operating off the coast of Korea, the USS Wisconsin received its first and only direct hit from a North Korean 155mm gun battery. The shell struck the shield of a starboard-side twin 40mm gun mount, causing minor damage to the ship and injuring three sailors, but no fatalities.
In response to this attack, the crew of the USS Wisconsin, fueled by anger and a desire for retribution, returned fire with all nine of their Mark 7 16-inch guns. The firepower of these guns was enormous, each capable of firing a 2,700-pound armor-piercing shell over 20 miles. This salvo obliterated the North Korean gun battery that had hit them.
Following this powerful response, a ship escorting the Wisconsin, the USS Duncan, humorously signaled to the Wisconsin with the message “Temper, Temper,” acknowledging the Wisconsin’s overwhelming response to the attack.
