Really well done.... worth checking out. From the look at the battle
of the USS Laffey (And US air cover of the day, tactics, the ship
herself, etc.) to the stuff on the Okha program to the look at a
German ramming squadron in the last days of the war in Europe, really
well done stuff.


I was stunned the Laffey took all those hits and kept floating.
What was it, four kamikazi and three bomb hits?
And I didn't know they already had radar guided 5 inch
guns'


Seems like Hornet had radar guided guns in 1942.
