CV-13 Franklin "Big Ben" link

I am glad you enjoyed it (all credits to "whitet"). On a similar vein, about a year ago I read a fairly similar type thing you might enjoy, done by US after the fact on several IJN ships - Yamato, Mushasi, Tahio & Shinano, (found wiki - Shinano - near bottom of artical "Reports of the US Naval Technical Mission to Japan, Ship and Related Targets") http://www.fischer-tropsch.org/prima...t%20S-06-2.pdf |
