Belesarius Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 o7 " Five DesRon12 destroyers make formation S-turns in Iron Bottom Sound, off Guadalcanal. Savo Island is in the distance. They were returning from one of their raids on Rabaul in February 1944, and executed the high-speed turns as a salute to the three ships of the squadron that had been sunk in the vicinity of Iron Bottom Sound. This had become a custom whenever DesRon12 ships passed Savo Island after a successful raid against the Japanese. Commanded by Captain Rodger W. Simpson, the squadron raided Rabaul on 17-18 and 23-25 February 1944. His flagship was USS Farenholt (DD-491). Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.

Domus Acipenseris Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Re: USS Roanoke. It's too bad the Worcester class armament failed. They were really cool ships. I've read that the 6"/47 didn't work well for AA. Supposedly they built it to reach German bombers dropping standoff munitions like Hs 293 and Fritz X but couldn't fire fast at high angles. Des Moines class armament is cooler. Evidently they had to decide between the destructiveness of 8" fire against cruisers and Kongo class BCs and the rate of fire needed to stop DD torpedo attacks. Instead of one or the other they chose both, an 8" with 10rpm. Belesarius and Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
