"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, at Guadalcanal

U.S.S. Utah had been converted into a
training and target ship, that was known to
the Japanese pilots, whose instructions were
to ignore the ship,but in the heat of battle
it was forgotten.
