  1. Seconded - just looking at the images used here, I am guessing there were thousands of people doing their stuff on a man made island in the middle of nowhere. I would love to know more.

  2. I looked at those USN after action analysis drawings, and the images of ships like CA-32 and breath a lot. Fix it or burn or swim seems to be a great motivator. Respect is indeed due.

  3. ​ @johnniewoodard648  and indeed your comment was about the horrors that men and women faced in the aftermath; not about how many were killed. Yes, what you wrote did make sense; we can see and respect great human achievement in the face of adversity, but doesn't it reflect badly on us as humans that this actually happened at all? That's why my heart dies when I visit war cemeteries, and observe Armstice Day here in the UK. Hats off to you, and thank you for your service.

  5. A thought, looking at the still images you used in this most excellent video. Could you - or another expert with you - give us some narrative, context, and explanation to some of this battle damage? Eg 13:41 where my amateur interpretation is that there was a penetration just at the top Plimsoll marking, which blew out through the compartment above the penetration. I think this might make an interesting episode. Open to all opinions!
