Sink or be Sunk

We must not forget that a lot of the ships we play in-game are real and tangible pieces of history. The recently released USN light cruisers just so happen to have many real and historically significant ships and that is what is covered in the episode.

We do a historical episode where we discuss significant moments in the service records of these ships:

• USS Helena:
• USS Cleveland
• USS Worcester
• USS Massachusets
• USS Salem
• HMCS Haida
• and some other mentions (Boise, IJN ships etc)

Excerpts and some details are from the ships Wikipedia
