USS Edsall Found!

[Griz882]

Called the “dancing mouse” by the Japanese because she was so hard to sink, the destroyer was an old ship in early ‘42. Part of the ABDA fleet she was one of the old dogs holding the line until the US could regroup. She was surely of an older time with Dress White parties against a lovely tropical Pacific background until war came in December, 1941.

It’s under 18’000 feet of water. I forget how deep the ocean is sometimes.

I had no idea sonar could create such a high resolution image, especially through that much water. Impressed. Jealous.

Tragic end for the crew. The greatest generation. RIP, warriors.
