[StartQuote] Hey Allen, Good points to be sure, However, it appears that your decision hinges on your defintion of "Combat Areas" From Tulagi to Treasury at the time of Faulkners order in December 1944 was pretty much a backwater, very far removed from actual "Combat Areas".Just as CJ said. Remember, we invaded the Phillipines in Fall of 1944? I think there was about as much enemy activity between Tulagi and Treasury as there was in the Hawaiian Sea Frontier at that time in the war. This would be far different from the waters off Guadalcanal and Rendova in April 1943 when JFK reported aboard PT109. So having an Anchor Light on in a true Combat Area in my opinion was indeed "Never done". Faulkners order is not about a Combat Area, and therefore does not apply to this situation. I love the discussions we have on this board! And Garth is not crazy. Enjoy! Jerry Jerry Gilmartin[EndQuote]
