As if I would :hmph:

I think the final end of the Porter is truly amazing: you manage to avoid a kamikaze attack only to have the plane skim under your keel and blow you out of the water, essentially being reverse depth-charged by the plane...

I see numerous threads that get bypassed and I ...I...get called out on one for two years ago....remembered by who else....


I filed a complaint with AVGWarhunk

my great great uncle was on the submarine K13 in 1917 ...........maybe some of the older crew were transferred she sank on trials because some one left a hatch open.

I was kind of curious about the person after whom the Porter was named, so I looked him up on Wikipedia:

Seems a bit of a shame such a capable commander should have as his only namesake a ship that is a bit of o laughingstock to the rest of the world. I say they should give another go at naming a ship after Commodore Porter...
