    Taken while the Hood was in Vancouver, this image shows one of the Hood’s sailors with Joey the wallaby on deck. He was a mascot the crew brought with them from Australia

    That’s a nice job. I just looked up that LST 359 and it said that she was sunk on December 20,1944 by a submarine torpedo in the Eastern Atlantic. She earned five battle stars.(I didn’t get your entire quote)

    It was one of several designs under consideration, with main guns ranging from 16-inch to 10-inch. And was one of 4 put forward for serious consideration in 1930.
