 One of the greatest warriors, was also a great artist..

Miyamoto Musashi was a renowned swordsman and philosopher who also created sumi-e ink paintings, often minimalist depictions of nature like birds or trees, reflecting Zen principles, but the famous "triptych" associated with him is actually a woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) (1797-1861) titled Miyamoto Musashi and the Whale Off the Coast of Hizen, showing Musashi fighting a giant whale, a popular heroic scene in Japanese art, not a personal work by Musashi himself. 
Miyamoto Musashi as a Painter (Sumi-e Artist) 
  • Style: Musashi practiced sumi-e (ink wash painting).
  • Subject Matter: He focused on nature, creating minimalist works that emphasized empty space, a key element in Zen art, with subjects like birds on branches.
  • Philosophy: His paintings, like his martial arts, aimed for simplicity and essence, connecting strategy with art.

In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its  ballistic missile submarine  fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against  resupply convoys coming from North America  with both aircraft and submarines. This advantage is put to immediate use as a NATO carrier battle ...
