...new carriers are about the size of U.S.S. Wasp (14,700 tons), 500,000 tons will provide about 34 brand-new carriers.

Salomone, Master, tanks blown full of Argentine linseed, was clipping along northbound 300 miles off Cape Hatteras. Just before sundown one day, a torpedo smacked into her 30 feet aft of amidships. Deck plates buckled, but her all-welded Albany hull stood up: the bulkheads of the tanks were unbreached...
