So, the author states that the Bimini topped bass boats had 76mm cannon? I call BS on him - 76mm is 3 inch. He's telling me there is a 3 inch naval cannon on a bass boat? Bullshit

ok , apologies if I misunderstood, I think he's saying the bass boats weren't the real interceptors. Still, however, the USN vessel was REQUIRED to resist capture and they did not. They folded without a single shot.

I am a former Tin Can sailor and I can tell you that capture of our vessel by the enemy would never have happened without a fight.

Look at the photographs themselves. They were not taken from a BW, but from a height mucher greater above the sea than either the BWs or the US boats. The camera was looking down at the captured boat.
