LOL, ya think?????

That is almost comical, but...a good thing, because as screwed up as their upper rank officers often were, their destroyer teams had a lot of skill and extreme aggressiveness and tenacity.

That limitation probably saved a good number of our men (though we probably didn’t know it at the time)

Heh, I am telling you all this about Admiral Lee and the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, but if you read “Destroyer Captain” you probably read “Neptune’s Inferno” too...

Perfect WWII Navy. American aviation, Japanese destroyers and German submarines.
