Well, I managed four out of the five.

The one I didn’t know is that the USS Phoenix/Belgrano was one of the “few ships to survive” Pearl Harbor. I knew she was a survivor and that she was sunk during the Falklands, but I’m pretty familiar with the OOB of the USN at Pearl Harbor and am SHOCKED to learn from this that only a “few” ships “survived.”

:-)

Here’s one thing people may not know tho - the night of the Pearl Harbor attack FDR’s nerves were so bad that he got himself coked up.
