| #3 Actually stories like this give me a 'Feel Good' because as a culture we are rich enough to explore. The author probably read somewhere 'First naval engagement without surface ships ever seeing each other" and "CV lost" then had their boo-boo because of zero knowledge of military WW2 history. |
