I was reading a book not too long ago about DesRon21, called Tincan Titans and it goes indepth of how ships like O'Bannon, Nicholas and Strong operating in 1942 how their captains and XO's developed what would become the CIC and that war experience led to it being fitted to ships later on. Quite fascinating on how this room was developed
Such an awesome ship. Too bad she’s the only one left. It’s a real pity the Newport News wasn’t saved and turned into a museum in her birthplace and namesake city. But at least we have one Des Moines class cruiser left.
Interesting as always - thanks!

Great video with superlative content .Dr. Scholes certainly knows his subject matter. I look forward to your next video presentation.
Outstanding video
Such great work! Great to see the museum ships working together
Love these videos. Thanks Tom and Dr. Scholes.
Awesome video, always good to see the Salem!
My Dad served on USS Newport News 1954-1957 and told me that during that timeframe her sonar was removed
