I read Cecil Brown's excellent account of the battle of Force Z when I was younger and I was very impressed with the calm professionalism of the RN crew that was added to by reading Ronald Spector's At War At Sea about the horrible battle of Crete. Marvelous drawing of a brave ship and her crew. Ah ...

I was wondering if your conversion was planned from the beginning versus later in Little Rock's lifespan when Talso systems were no longer being built

The drawings are quite fine and bring back a lot of memories of operating with Okie Boat on WESTPACs. We get a number of FTs and GMs from the other Talos ships and the ones from Okie Boat really loved that ship. Of course, being in SE Asia had a number of attractions, including being on active servi...
