Panay's Ghost Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I will vote for B-3: USS Arizona. I vote for her only because I can't also vote for USS Oklahoma, USS Utah, USS Cassin and USS Downes. If any of you are out there and we don't know about you yet...take a victory lap on December 7th, too. You earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifrein Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 What about USS Vestal and the other support ships as well who fought their hardest that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Well, even the submarines had machine guns mounted on them and I can bet you that they were being used. I watched Tora Tora Tora again about a week or so ago, and it's so gut-wrenching and you just know that the real thing was even worse. I personally am interested in Chicago, because it was lucky to have been escorting the carriers and so was not present for the attack. It's also because I served on the 4th ship to carry that name.

Dmnt Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 This vote will become pointless given the current state, but I'll vote anyway so I don't miss a week. D1 Someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panay's Ghost Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 What about USS Vestal and the other support ships as well who fought their hardest that day? Don't get me wrong, Fifrein: there is no shortage of ships and their crews that can stand up and take a bow for their swift reactions. I would make a nod if I could to those who also went down that day, as Arizona did, never to serve again. Cassin and Downes 'sailed' again (their equipment in new hulls anyway). Oklahoma saw the surface again, but the trip to the West Coast was too much for her. ...And then there's Utah who still rests on the other side of Ford Island. Already put out to pasture as a auxiliary for target practice, who was mistaken for an aircraft carrier and soaked up hits for the team because of it. She still had the heart of a battleship, and deserves to be remembered for it. ...But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHANACORE Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 In honor of the only sister ship of Pennsylvania Class Super Dreadnought Battleships USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) (Also PA my home state) and of course the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

RockyArby Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 No need to apologize. Just remember it's from Friday (at the time of that week's interview's release) to evening the following Sunday. Welcome to the Forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
