My Dad was a U.S. Marine manning one of the guns on deck and also a survivor of the sinking . He also survived the entire war in Burma cutting the railroad tracks through the jungle in P.O.W. Camps . There is supposed to be a memorial in downtown Houston Texas and a yearly meeting that was for survivors and their families from what I understand . There is a webpage about the U.S.S. Houston with a list of those that passed away during the battle . Survivors of the battle and p.o.w. camp and the dates of passing for those survivors that passed later in life .
Thanks for video! James D Hornfischer's book Ship of Ghosts has a really chilling account of the battle. It was a great audio book to listen to while going to and from class at my University!
It is sometimes unclear regarding after a battle, what exactly happened. Almost similar with a crime scene, it takes time to learn all the details, and filter out any inconsistencies. Great illustrations as always, looking forward for your next video. Take care, and all the best.
I am also watching films on the IJA, from the Chinese perspective, as well, mainly for reference for my comics, very interesting, even if many are purley ficticious. Take care, and all the best.
That does sound interesting. Reminds me of when you recommended the Great War of Archimedes, an entertaining historical fiction on Yamato. The Chinese front is definitely overlooked, so it's nice when it gets attention. Thanks, take care as well.

First- class video on an under- appreciated subject of the Pacific war...

Question about a video from 4 years ago about uss maryland
How long do you remember did it take to complete that ship?
The model was 1/700, rather simple. I'd say it took about 3-4 weeks to build.
Wow, they were ordered into a massacre….
