Thanks!

Written descriptions of the fighting men, equipment, and battles can be engaging and informative... but that rendering of the South Dakota in flames off Guadalcanal is terrifying!

LOL just play World of Warships. you can figure out the who would win every day

Purchased on Amazon!

Got it yesterday when I got home from work!! Looks great and can't wait to read it!

Thanks Guys!

Charlie, let me know if you think it is as good as I do?

Hi Tim,

Terrifying indeed! In Osprey's book US ''Treaty'' Heavy Cruisers they show USS Houston in flames at Sunda Strait. My dad and one of his two friends he joined the navy with was there! Dad made it to Australia, his friend Dave became a POW. Dad really never talked about it but a couple of years ago, Dave told me about climbing out of the bowls of the ship in one of the tripod masts and stumbling over corpses as Houston was sinking.

Terrifying.

I should be able to get some reading done this week!! I'll let you know! It looks amazing so far!

It was great!! Short read, finished it in one night but super informative and covered everything! I highly recommend it!
