Port 20. Port 20 Aye Captian!

#1
My father is a WWII veteran of the Pacific theatre. He was a AA gunner on the HMCS Nabob, a British designed, American made, Canadian crewed aircraft carrier. The Nabob was hit by a torpedo from a Nazi sub while hunting for the Tirpitz. A second torpedo fired at the Nabob was taken by a flanking escort the Beckerton that sped up to save the carrier. The Nabob limped to port, but had to be scraped.

My dad got a tear in his eye when he saw me bobbing along, barking orders as I protected a convoy.

Thanks.

A loyal fan for the duration.
