Take the trip, sit and blow 20 minutes reading this!

5" VT shells, quad 40mm Bofors, 20mm cannons all slamming into Oscars and Vals. What fun!

No way ever!!

I have always heard that the pickett ships suffered massive damage and casualties but that indeed sounds like hell in a ship.

Those guys saved many lives aboard the main fleet ships.
