Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

I don't think this is 1943. If you look closely at the Essex class carrier in dry dock, it seems to have a pole mast which wasn't available until the 1950's.
