my 92-yr-old father was on this ship at the very time of this battle. I have heard the story but to actually see a picture is a completely different experience. God bless those lost as well as those who survived.

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
