Post by paul.mercer »

Gentlemen,
i believe that after PoW and Repulse were sunk the Japananese navy tried to get hold of the radar on PoW, did they get it?

They tried to recover the radar equipment in early 1942 but had little success. PoW' is upside down with the upper works crushed into the mud.
Entering a night sea battle is an awesome business.The enveloping darkness, hiding the enemy's.. seems a living thing, malignant and oppressive.Swishing water at the bow and stern mark an inexorable advance toward an unknown destiny.
