The ship that would not die
CAMERA FOOTAGE OF KAMIKAZE ATTACK IN 1945
KAMIKAZE ATTACK IN 1945 This is incredible actual footage during the 80-minute attack on the U.S.S. Laffey. About the best naval footage ever shot by a Navy cameraman. The camera was in the gun turret under attack. It's Amazing! The U.S.S. Laffey, "the ship that would not die", was hit by 6 Kamikazes and 4 bombs, but remained afloat after an 80 minute battle that included 22 Kamikaze attacks. Click on the link below, and then click on the photo of gun turret to activate the video. Go full screen. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4zkp7hvrg...d%20vo%203.wmv

That hits close to home. My uncle died this way on the USS Hancock. He was a Naval gunner.

Thanks for the post. You know people kind of get numb looking various film clips of WWII. My dad and others saved us.
