Guys and Girls,

I saw an Action Report on her destruction after running aground in early 1945, which included photos ( which I thought was incredible ). I had no knowledge of this boat previously, but I'm sure someone would be interested. Let me know.

Again, this photo was the best of the three.....but all were taken about the same time. Wonder why no photos were taken after shelling the 73 and setting her gas tanks on fire.......maybe because it was daylight.
