Famous WW2 Quote
"With Germany arming at breakneck speed, England lost in a pacifist dream, France corrupt and torn by dissension, America remote and indifferent... do you not tremble for your children?"Winston Churchill, 1935

The destroyers were USS Nicholas, USS Taylor, USS O’Bannon, USS Strong, USS Chevalier, and USS Radford, probably in that order. The cruisers were probably USS Honolulu, USS Helena, USS Nashville, and USS St. Louis. This was probably taken during the transit of Indispensable Strait in the southern Solomon Islands bound for Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides.
