Well, I think you would enjoy the history.

Do you know what a tin can referred to in the navy?

No I don't

Ok, well destroyer and destroyer escorts were called tin cans. Because they would be crushed like a tin can if they were hit by enemy ships like a cruiser all the way to a big battleship.

Interesting I didn't know that

So there's a book called, "the last stand of the Tin can sailors." And it talks about the entire conflict between literally tin cans turning an entire Japanese navy battleship group.

Oh man

Taffy 3 was the name of group. They were made of like 4 or 5 dd(destroyers) and 4-6 de(destroyer escorts) and a a dozen or so jeep carriers who were supporting the landing at leyte for the Philippines island invasion.

They were the only thing standing between the troop and supply ships.

Oh wow I didn't know that

I'll share a link with you.

Sounds good

Ok.

@6H0$T 👻😈 it related to the conversation <:emoji_9:723005092764319776>

No one else was in the chat room

I thought they would have been more appropriate for <#722683196373991506>, where you could have a more in deptth discussion.

But no matter. Chat is dead anyway.

True

I thought you were talking about the videos lol. Froski did too?

Convo+vids.

It's all good.

Ok

Rough?

Yeah

Lose someone?

No I’m just going through a lot

Well I don't relate one bit, but everyone has their issues
