Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
The USS Idaho and USS Mississippi were sunk by German dive bombers. They were under the Greek flag and going under the names Kilkis and Lemnos at the time, having been sold to Greece by the US.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
USS Oregon, BB 3
Towed to Guam as an ammunition barge.
Sampson (in command but ashore at the time), and Schley would roll over in their graves if they discovered that the ship that ran down the Cristobal Colon and effectively put an end to the battle of Santiago was a barge at Guam.
Think I'll have a "Cuba-Libre" .....yee-haw !
