Just watched and reviewed this interesting doc on the fate of CV-13 and her crew in WWII. Fascinating!

Back in '79, I met a private driving instructor who I casually discovered served aboard the "Franklin." Surprised, I think, that I knew about her, and when I asked about his experiences, all the man quietly said was, "Yes, we got heavily smoked."

Indeed!
