I'm listening to books on tape ... Sea of Thunder, which goes in very serious detail about the battle of Leyte gulf.
Also will we see American Jeep carriers? The taffys?

I'm not sure but I think I've read that US ships had colored shells and the Japanese were quite confused when they saw that.:hmm: |
You have that backwards according to the "Sea of Thunder". It was described in detail of how strange it looked ... each shell of the mighty 18" guns shooting up gysers of different coloured water.
Until I listen to that book I had no idea just how foolish Hawlsley had been in that battle. Despite the US victory it was clearly a cluster ****.
And right I really haven't been paying close attention. That's why I asked. :/ |
I knew I wasn't wrong!
I just checked my book 'Auf allen Meeren' by Franz Kurowski and on page 305 it says that US cruisers used shells with carmine dye during the Battle of Java. It also says that the logbook of the ship 'Nachi' states that young officers were afraid of because of the dye.
