Steel doesn't lie, as we say.
And so the visibility down there is just- It's better than it is Titanic because it's so clear.
So we could see more like 40 or 50 meters down there.
Out of a museum.
Like on the Johnston, the guns are still trained to starboard because it was still firing when it went down.
And there were some emotional moments too, because I know the history of the ships and what happened.
Like there was this one gun on the Samuel B. Roberts where when they abandoned ship, there was this very popular gunner's mate who manned a five inch gun on the rear and it took a direct hit.
And they went to go get him to abandon the ship.
And this guy, this petty officer, he had his whole left side was blown open.
And when they found him,
he was still trying to ram the last shell into the five-inch gun.
And they just, you know, they had to let him be.
That's how he died.
And I was right there looking at where this, where a petty officer car, where he perished.
And it just still gives me chills.
I mean, what those men went through on that day.
And who does that?
I mean, charging battleships in a destroyer escort with a couple of torpedoes thinking, you know, at least we can slow them down.
Just amazing.
Very proud to have served in the Navy.
