I'm sure glad they aren't anywhere us. No hits on either side. But awful close. Holy Christ, they've cut their motors and are coming at us out of the sun. We can't see them.
All ships open up right into the sun.
One bomb meant for us drops off our port beam. One meant for the John Payne drops off her starboard quarter. Honest to God, you could see the refrigerator fly through the air. I went to school with the three radiomen. I hope they are o.k., except if they have the same battle stations that the radiomen on this ship, I sure as hell don't ever hope to see them again.
