Fantastic. Thanks for the video. I have a friend passed on now who was stationed on the Massachusetts during the battles supporting of Operation Torch. The Massachusetts taught the French battleship Jean Barte not to mess with US firepower during that battle. 5 inch gun turret starboard side backed that up. RIP David Squier. Go Navy
