Tomorrow is the 69th anniversary of the loss of this great destroyer and 46 of her men. In honor of that day I've added a document to the Memories of STRONG page, the original action report, copied from the Joseph H. Wellings collection at the Naval War College library archives. Reading this gives you almost a moment by moment account of the events of that night. I hope you enjoy this piece of STRONG history, and that you and yours have a wonderful and safe holiday.

Tammi JohnsonWelcome to the blog! I'm a life long Kentuckian with a degree in Anthropology, thus a nice background in research, thanks to some great profs at the University of Kentucky. Family and historical research are what float my boat, and this project has been the heart of it for a very long time now. I welcome input and ideas for blog entries, so if you have something to contribute I'll happily post it. Archives
