I'm not surprised by their heroism yet I always regard such bravery with awe. Thanks Sam, this is a piece of history previously unknown to me.

The SIMS and Neosho are pretty much a footnight in any history of the Coral Sea battle. It was nice to find some more detailed info on the event.

I just thought I'd throw this one in too, because I'd never seen these twin .50 cal mounts except on patrol craft.
And the caption says he's using a sextant. He's actually using a stadimeter, which finds distance to an object of known height.

They look good! Welcome home.
Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
To: GATOR NAVY
Thanks Gator Navy.
Love the 50 Cal. All these years and it's still an excellent HMG.
