If this would have happened today, the repairs would have taken 5 years and several billion $$

This YouTube channel has an excellent series on the battles around Guadalcanal. More Sailors died in these battles than Marines on the island. It was a steep learning curve for the US Navy, being run by officers who were promoted more for their ability to hold their liquor than any war related abilities. These videos are well worth the time.

We Legacy Americans need to get the World War II mentality back.

We are under assault From so many different directions.

Those Americans back then didn’t even think twice about trying to save that ship… it was second nature to do so if possible.

Those were Our People.

I read the Wikipedia article on USS New Orleans. That ship had a quite dramatic and impressive history outside of this.

The days of being able to improvise like this are long gone as everything is to advanced to operate using basic components.
