Famous Quotes / William M. Thomas
William M. Thomas: "We took the ship out of Portland, Oregon, and had completed two round trips between Honolulu and the mainland. Then we went on the ill-starred voyage to New Caledonia. On the way over we had no action. Then we started on the return trip. We were only a short time out of Caledonia-it was on November 8, 1942, at about 19:50-when the torpedo struck."
