Comments by "Admiral Tiberius" (@admiraltiberius1989) on "USS Samuel B. Roberts - Guide 208" video.

Supposedly before leaving the States, the Yard tried to remove the triple torpedo tubes and replace them with a Quad 40mm battery. The Captain flatly refused and said if he was going into battle, he wanted actual ship killing weapons. Also its worth noting that by the time she was finished with the second cruiser, her 5inch magazines were basically exhausted. The Sammy Bs gun crews likely set records for rounds per minute sustained for a 5/38. One of the crew who survived reported that the two Gun Captains called for everything to be brought up, leave nothing in the magazines. Fantastic video as always sir. Godspeed

@ELCADAROSA I believe on the Johnston a crew member had his hand crushed in the gun mechanism and kept on like nothing happened.
