Ships of the Battle off Samar

I hardly know where to start. This is a wonderful project. Our President Ford served on one of those "Jeep" carriers. I have some relics of a man who was chief engineer on the Kalinin Bay. Including a piece of a 14" Japanese shell. Probably from the Haruna hit. It is interesting that Kalinin bay itself is on a Russian named island in the Alexander archipelago in Alaska. Beautiful work. The attack of the American destroyers and destroyer escorts on the Japanese fleet is one of the great heroic events in American naval history.
