Christmas Eve 1944 ..... more WWII Navy history

Post by new pig hunter »

I'm on a "military service during the holidays" roll here ..... the son of a shipmate is over in Afghanistan right now, a**-deep in snow and freezing temps. He is a Navy EOD kinda guy, attached to Seal Team 5. Got into his first-ever firefight a couple of weeks ago, only the bad guys got hurt.


24 December 1943: USS Leary (DD-158) is torpedoed and sunk by U-275 and U-382, 585 miles west-northwest of Cape Finisterre, Spain.
