Re: Here's one for yas Sam "Can Do"
[ QUOTE ]
The good old Lexington is in Corpus Christi in fine form. I spent a night on it when my boys were is Scouts. It was an annual trip. [/ QUOTE ]I am a big WW II history also.Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the original carrier "Lexington"sink in the "Battle of Coral Sea" in May of 1942.The carrier "Yorktown"(later sunk in the "Battle Of Midway") was also damadged.This was the first time in history opposing capital ships were sunk without being in sight of each other.I beleive the Japanese lost the carrier "Zukaku".The Lexington in Corpus Christi must be a later carrier.
