G'Dat snippy : )

These little and by 1940's obsolete River Gunboats had a colorfull history contending against Communism's emergence in China..along with Japans quadrant aggressions leading up to WW-2 and during its first months.

USS Luzon PR 7 and USS Oahu PR 6 made an exciting escape from the Japanese at the wars onset..finding themselves in the Phillipines and the Heroic defense of Corregidor.

Hard Way Back

Americas Flag flying bravely in the face of overwhelming odds : )
