One note:
These are only battle history, Accuracy cannot be relied upon any more then someones books and or websites and we all know they make mistakes. There are only a few versions that are undisputable in any case. The rest are disputable.

Historical Records and proceedings of the USN. (The official record)
Deck log/Captains log (from the respective ship/ships) for those years.

And some of us who read articles written by the men that were there either on the ship itself during that period performing that function or ones that were in the lines of communication or action for a specific event and the fact that these people positions are traceable and reliable.

*Accuracy. They were much more accurate then anybody here gives them credt for. There are many letters written about this accuracy by the men involved however not for posting here in troll haven. Needless to say the books make no mention of these men.
