I just finished Last Stand Of The Tin Can Soldiers.

I have a new respect for destroyer sailors.

Tin can sailors deserve respect. I was on a carrier in the Pacific in the seventies. We went through a typhoon with our escorts. We were walking on the bulkheads. I can only imagine what the small boys went through from watching them. They should have gotten sub pay.

Don't tell them I said so. If they get swelled heads, they will never fit aboard their ships.
