I left Beautiful Beaufort in 1963. (Marine Corps brat, I was 10)
Is that the one with the shell exploding on the deck of a ship? I remember that one.

Is that the one with the shell exploding on the deck of a ship? I remember that one. No, it was on the island of Iwo ... a lot of dark lava soil and smoke in the air immediately in front of the jarred frame. Beaufort 1963 ... did you know any of the Great Santini's kids?

That picture was taken on the deck of ENTERPRISE at the very moment a Japanese bomb exploded. The happened during the Naval Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 24, 1942.
