Thank you, Dennis.
It is hard to believe I was able to get the entire WWII era completed over the last four years, starting in the early days of the pandemic. Including the origin story of the ship, the complete WWII era comes in at 575 pages and nearly every day covered in some level of detail. And then there are the varying details available for the 50s and 60s, coming in at another 175 pages.
Now I am thinking through what my next body of work will be: Fill in the daily details for the 50s, or 60s, (when that exists on the National Archives online site), or take a break (LoL).
The video was terrific.
