Thanks for checking in Bob. I think it’s amazing that everyone on board experienced different things . . . I am so lucky to have met you and some of your shipmates and to be able to share these experiences (and diaries) with everyone. We are all so lucky to have access to the great stories from the crew of the Boston!!
I’m re-living the times as I read your posts. As I was inside Radio 2 I couldn’t see what was going on, but I remember hearing the guns firing. The 5 inchers, the 40 mms, and when the 20 mms started firing we knew the Japs were getting close.
