There's a bunch of photos but don't know if everybody here can look at them

Status: offline 		At a party once someone was opining on how the Japanese would have won the war if they had won the Battle of Midway. I pointed out more deck capacity was built in Vancouver alone than Japan has ever built. They were CVEs and not built for carrier to carrier combat, but they did free up the fleet carriers to hunt the big game when it popped its head up.

Have you ever been to the McMennimins down there where the shipyard used to be? They have some WW II vintage photos of the shipyard on the walls.

On the other coast you had, Bath, Maine. IIRC it alone built more DD's than the entire Japanese empire.

They did have some help from aircraft of Taffys 1 and 2 which were also fleeing south.
