I just got done reading a book called Descent into Darkness by a retired Navy officer who was a young salvage diver in the states and was suddenly on the first thing smoking to Pearl Harbor on December 8th, 1941. The book has a lot of this kind of stuff in it like this. Besides Pearl Harbor, he spent time out in the fleet, got a ship shot out from under him and spent a few months on Guadalcanal before returning to finish things up at Pearl. Interesting stuff, and I don't think men that brave exist anymore, at least not in those numbers. The Greatest generation.
