Thanks for posting this. It was a good read for me, as my father served on a Casablanca class aircraft carrier in the Atlantic. According to the article, 50 of these ships were built!
But, wow. ‘The National Interest’ sure is polluted with ads. I guess that’s the price you pay for getting a free article..
Yep, my father served on one in the Pacific. He liked the military so much that he enlisted in the Army after the war and became a career guy.
