    Your web site doesn’t work in fact it actually sucks! Three tries and no pic or anything!

  • Very interesting. Thank you. I had not realized there were that many ship losses since 1945.

    Faulty maps? Astounding!

    Found the “invisible” arrows to move the time line. As a collector of USN envelopes I really appreciate the site and can use wikipedia for the details. Thank you.
