To enlarge, click on below image Destroyer squadron, floating around a harbor buoy. It is easy to see that when the destroyers are in formation, lined up four abreast, line-of-sight radio communications could be difficult. In this case, the Commodore would be making split-second tactical radio commands from the right-hand ship DD852 and expecting the Captain of our DD869 on the extreme left to act on his commands at once. Failure to do so got our captain in trouble and changed my whole career. |
