I was looking for any mention of personnel from other ships helping in the recovery but didn't see any. That could be one explaination for the size of the crew.

"Southwest" should be read as "Southeast". This incorrect direction is repeated later. A lubber, for sure!!! Good catch!

Morning Lee Heggy.
Reading Newt Gingrich's "Gettysberg", Really interesting take on an option Lee could have taken to fight the battle differently. I'm gonna have to read the other two books in the trilogy.

Good morning, folks.
We well know later today what critical updates will be sent down from Microsoft later today for windows. Microsoft is due to send out this report later today.
We're watching to see if the tropical depression in the gulf moves North. If things work out as we hope, we will most likely not see severe weather this weekend. There is severe weather forecast tommorow and the weekekd so we'll see what happens.
How's it going, snippy?

That could be one explaination for the size of the crew.I thought about that, but I would have thought, given that the ship was being abandoned by the other capital ships in hostile waters, that all non-essential crew would have been removed, rather than folks being added, and that the count would have been down, rather than up at the time of the sinking. In any event, if the size of the crew had been doubled, the ship must have been very crowded. For comparison purposes, I looked at the Pennsylvania class of BBs. They show crews of around 1000 in ships with many more guns and about 3 times the displacement.
