We visited a battle ship in North Carolina several years ago. It's a museum
now. It was fascinating. When I made the comment to one of out elders in the
group we were taveling with, about the average age of a kid on one of these
boats was 19, he quickly replied, " No there were guys as young as 16. Many
boys lied about heir age to join the military back then." This man was from
that era so I think he was probably right.
