That was epic!
Can you imagine the odours with so many living so closely together. An Officer asks the cook: What's for dinner........Chili. :)
She sank the IJN Shokaku, a large aircraft carrier that was one of the last remaining Pearl Harbor attackers. The ship looks SO much better than when I saw her last many years ago. Thanks for the tour, I’ll have to revisit her soon
Her nickname the "Lucky Lady" perfectly describes her. She was almost lost due to the local Galveston government sneakily trying to scrap her and her neighbor USS Stewart (destroyer escort) in the 1990s to build a RV park over where she currently sits and in the 2000s they again tried to scrap them both and replace Seawolf Park with a container port for merchant/cargo ships. The locals and WWII vets rallied around the country to save Cavalla. She does deserve extra love because she is the only surviving submarine to sink an aircraft carrier and she was the one that sank the legendary Shokaku, 1 of the 6 Pearl Harbor carriers. She was the only submarine that sank any of the 6 Pearl Harbor Japanese carriers.
How cool was that? I'm so glad the gentleman let you film him and shared his experiences with us. What a great video!!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
