Min far var fra Viborg, SD. Familien boede ude for byen og jeg troer gikk
på kirken der lå nærmere Irene end Viborg. Jeg så din anden film der I
oplastet om Kimbalton, IA. Jeg selv var præst i nærheden af Kimbalton for
mange år siden på en liten norsk kirke sør for Atlantic Iowa. Tak for at I
haver lagt ind disse filmer. Med venlige hilsner. DS.

Battleships South Dakota and Nagato (Color:1945)
The United States takes possession of the Japanese battleship Nagato at the end of World War II, at Yokusuka Naval Base. The crew of USS Horace A. Bass ...
Stand fast jaylock! (I knew i should have typed in more detail about my
Fathers story.) BM1 Morris Pratt was ships company on the South Dakota. He
was on the initional boarding party (from the South Dakota) that went on
the Nagato to retreave thier small arms. His Captain wanted Him to go so
the enemy would see what "Big Americans" looked like...and to throw a
little fear into them. Maybe that is why you see the South Dakota in this
video. My old man commisioned and decommisioned the South Dakot
I wish there was a archive of videos like this for sale for warship fans
like me. Nagato was once the most powerful ship afloat but like the rest of
her peers, she was eclipsed by the aircraft carrier. Just imagine what
would have happened if there had been a Jutland-like battle of the
battleships in the Pacific instead of a carrier war. Arizona class
battleships duking it out with Kirishima and Ise class, North Carolina and
SoDak verses Nagato and Mutsu and Iowa class battlecruisers vs.Yamato!
Don't know if my dad knew Morris Pratt but he was also aboard the Nagato
for a month in 1945. I have a list of men from my dads ship the USS Delta
that were assigned aboard but I doubt if Pratt is among them. Great video
and interesting to see the damage to the bridge done by an aerial topedo
that skipped and went high into the bridge and killed many of the officers
on duty that day.
Hahahaha...okay. Study battleship design and you'll realize Iowa class had
more in common with battlecruisers than battleships. Fast, heavily armed
but under-armoured. Most modern WWII battleships had thicker armour than
Iowa. In fact, Iowa class was an elongated version of SoDak class; bigger,
faster, but same armour thickness = battlecruiser.
The man with the beard at the end of this video is "BM1" Morris F. Pratt or
"Big Red" to some of you old salts. And that Man is my father. I am Morris
F. Pratt Jr. he told me this story years ago but i just thought he was full
of B.S. Thank You to Whoever put this on here.
My dad was an engineer on the Nagato when it was towed to Bikini Atoll. We
still have the binoculars from the ship, I wonder if you have any more info
on this?
Cities around the world lit up in the colors of the French flag on Friday to show their solidarity with the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris.
