   ...and setting up right at that!
   
   Chief of Navy Australia on Instagram: "Alongside United States Ambassador to Australia, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, I am honoured to acknowledge the role #AusNavy played in discovering the wreck of @usnavy USS Edsall, a warship that holds a special place in our shared naval histories. The USS Edsall served valiantly during World War II, most notably in the early Pacific campaigns protecting Australia alongside #AusNavy warships, and played a role in sinking the Japanese submarine I-124 off Darwin. We honour the brave sailors of USS Edsall and their families. Lest We Forget."

   Good read on the U.S. Asiatic Fleet is W. G. Winslow's The Fleet The Gods Forgot. Winslow was the pilot for the scout plane on the USS Houston, flagship of that tiny fleet.
