For days after the attack you could hear the men trapped inside the ships pounding on the hull asking for help that no one could give them . they were left to die alone and in the dark ! and if you have never been on board a ship when the power goes out you don't know what dark is . there deaths led to a change in the training given by the navy to include how to escape from a partially flooded compartment through a flooded compartment . which has saved the lives of untold Sailors i would like to thank the men whose sacrifice as led to saving of so many other sailors ! mike 532
