I always admired the crew of the Yorktown. The fire fighting and damage controll was so good that the Japanese hit her again thinking she was a different carrier.
Geeze, thats gotta give you goose bumps eh Butch?
Hell of a thing. Cant help but feel proud watching that.
My buddy talks about switching to surface to finish out from time to time. There must be nothing like it.
