Since, this thread was originally started to ask BB questions, I will ask another one, though not a BB one.
RustyBattleship sir, did you ever get to see the USS Franklin before she was scrapped? How bad was the damage to her? I bellieve that Mitchner actually ordered her abandoned and scuttled, yet she managed to return home on her own power. SHe never served again, so I have belived that she had been "written off", but recently some websites said this was not the case.
Do you believe that scuttling her would have been the best course, at Warships1 some RN guy said it probably would have been.
