Two observations

Posted by Paul on 12/13/2017, 5:42 pm, in reply to "That is fantastic!"

1) As is usual the estimate of damage and destruction to the enemy is significantly overstated.

2) At the end of the video about the battle, Admiral Merrill gives his analysis of the USN performance. On the desk in front of him are two waterline models, which I think are 1:500 scale Comet identification models, which were provided in large numbers to the military.
