Sink or be Sunk

A Historical Look: USS Helena, Cleveland, Worcester, Salem, and Massachusetts plus the HMCS Haida

Episode Summary

The hosts change it up a bit and Doomlock teaches us (briefly) the history behind the new USN light cruiser specifically focusing on the USS Helena, Cleveland, and Worcester. He touches on the USS Salem and USS Massachusetts and ends on the highly anticipated Haida. Doom is history buff and had a blast doing the episode.

Episode Notes

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:
