When Fukushima exploded, foreign embassies told everyone to FLEE.
Commercial planes turned around. Ships steered away as fast as they could.
An invisible radiation cloud was drifting across the ocean.And where was the USS Ronald Reagan?
STEERING DIRECTLY INTO IT.
AT MAXIMUM SPEED.The radiation alarms were screaming on the bridge.
Every textbook said: "Turn back. Save yourselves."The Captain and his crew said:
"There are Japanese families shivering on rooftops out there. WE DON'T TURN BACK."24 hours a day, in freezing sleet, they ran their desalination plants to the brink of failure.
Sailors gave up their OWN fresh water.
They stopped taking hot showers.
They ate cold rations.Why?
To produce tens of thousands of gallons of pure, uncontaminated drinking water for Japanese babies.Mechanics with radiation badges worked through the night on snow-covered decks so helicopters could fly non-stop rescue sorties.
While the world backed away in terror,
American sailors ran through the fire for us.Never tell me true heroes don't wear dog tags. 🇺🇸🔥🇯🇵

Hyperbole much?
There was only one death from the Fukushima explosion linked to excess radiation exposure, and that was a case of lung cancer of disputed cause.
On the other hand, more than 50 people died in the evacuation. In other words, the panic killed 50x more people than the radiation leakage did.
Not to denigrate the service of the sailors and Marines on board the USS Ronald Reagan, but the "threat" wasn't nearly as bad as they were guesstimating.
Thanks for sharing pundit...
Makes for a great movie.
Same thing happened when Alicia destroyed Houston, Tx. A nuke sub pulled up to the harbor and offered leccy.
The liberals rejected that for days ‘cause.... nuklar = evil.
So, I sat in the dark for days, the bastids.
Found this.

Went to a lot of effort if the threat was small. Not being critical just observing.
How did they get the US flag to fly Stbd and the Japanese Meatball flying to port? Thats pretty neat!
