Small world. SWMBO and I toured BB-60 when we lived on the FL Gulf Coast, a couple decades ago. The rangefinder fascinated me. Having sailed on carriers (CV-63 and CVN-65) I expected a battleship to be bigger but then I realized that even carriers were small in WWII. I hope our children,

yes, they sure did do amazing things.  I've volunteering on the BB-60 as a small way to remember and pay tribute to them.   I just wrote a little thing about baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller and his duty, aiming the #8 quad mount 40mm bofors.   It was no special duty.   They did what

Those old guys did amazing things. My dad flew P-47s in China, living in a tent for several (I think 3) years. Their OPTEMPO was very low compared to today because all supplies (from gasoline to ammo) had to be flown in "over the hump". Anyway, this old video fascinated me when it hit my
