Wow! That is a great story.
She had something like 97 holes in her at the time of the attack with a lot of damage to her hangar deck. Pyle singled out the damage control team for their remarkable professionalism and bravery. USS Cabot even stayed on the line . Of course you know all of this! Incredible. You must be a proud son, hat`s off to your old man
Am I right in thinking that she was restored in some way, back in 1997-98? Had no idea Cabot was broken up, seems a shame if indeed the work was done. Next post will be my question, hope I post in time!
