Thanks Don for your technical help and expertise.
I am starting a new career and am determined to rely on the stars come what may. I may get lost and cruise around in circles aimlessly, which, come to think of it, happens a lot anyway.
After all, what is the worst that can happen?
Anyway, we are due to shove off Dec. 2, 1941, from Cavite. We are taking on a full load of torpedos, but the Admiral assures us this is just a precaution................ the Japanese wouldn't dare attack.
Merry Christmas!
