Advice to anyone who finds a crew member still alive: don’t trust them.

Kongo is interesting. Japanese battleship Kongo was built in 1911 by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering at Barrow-in-Furness. The Brits were arming everyone who wanted to fight Russians even back then. The Czar was still in charge then. The Brits have a mental illness.

Kongo was at the Battle of Leyte Gulf where our destroyers and destroyer escorts went up in a direct fight against battleships.

They were facing British weapons.

And Zuikaku was the last Pearl Harbor carrier to finally get killed and sunk. Also one of the biggest successes of the TBF Avenger torpedo bomber.
