1. Excellent reading on this fine Saturday morning.  My dad served under Nimitz, he will really enjoy.  Thanks

2. Thank you, DK.  And now I must confess an unconscionable oversight on my part.

   In mentioning USS Houston at the Battle of the Sunda Strait, I should have also mentioned her equally gallant comrade of the Java Sea and Sunda Strait battles, cruiser HMAS Perth, sunk with Houston at Sunda Strait.

   This is what happens when you are working late at night and in a hurry.  Please accept my apologies for this oversight.

3. I understand your point of view, OCM, and for that matter, I was zero-minus-nine years old at the time of Midway.

   However, speaking strictly as an Abel, I prefer to know all I can possibly learn about the collected works of Cain.

   Helps me get a better grip and keep a better eye out, you see.

4. Tann,
   All of us in the “Twerp” household are HUGE military history addictsbuffs.
   Thanks for sharing your fountains of information with us!

5. Excellent piece, Tann, as expected. I look forward with great anticipation for more in what seems to be becoming a series.

6. All thanks, friends.  I’m glad to oblige.  And yes, Stin, I will do my best to carry on with this series.  I am deeply honored that it is being so well met thus far.

   Kindest regards to all!
