Shipbuilding and Fleet Repair in the PTO with Sal Mercogliano – Episode 549
About this episode
The episode discusses US Navy shipbuilding and fleet repair in the Pacific theater during World War II with guest Sal Mercogliano.
This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall welcome back buddy Sal Mercogliano @wgowshipping to talk about US Navy shipbuilding and fleet repair in the Pacific theater of Operations. The guys get into several Admirals you’ve probably never heard of and dive into the Navy’s shipbuilding programs that began during the mid-1930’s and rolled through to the Two Ocean Navy Act. The sheer amount of vessels constructed is mind blowing! Then the guys get into the absolutely fascinating topic of at sea, or in theater ship repair, how it evolved from 1942 until 1945 when if a ship git hit, she rarely needed to go home to be fixed. Amazing how everything evolved. #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft…
