If you could travel back in time to any warship in history to witness a historic battle, which would it be?

1798123
USS Enterprise CV-6 Battle of Midway
or
USS Johnston DD-557 Battle of Leyte Gulf

1798222
The last stand of the tin can sailors eh? Man after my own heart. Gotta love WWII Fletcher class destroyers. And of course, Midway was quite a game changer.

1798222
What about the age of sail? Any battles you would have like to see?

1798452
Anything involving Admiral David "Damn the torpedoes" Farragut

1798501
Agreed. I'd love to have heard that quotation in person.

Probably the Japanese Invasion of Indochina or the Third Crusade. Two things I never learned much about, but would love to look into.

1798639
Fascinating. I'll have to do a bit of research myself.

I've been to Gettysburg and I would really would have liked to see how it actually happened. That or any thing dealing with the Mexican-American war.

Papa Yankee 13 by the side of Larry Borrows. One of LIFE's greatest war photographers in the Vietnam.

1801437
I imagine that would be quite the experience.
1801606
Indeed, as you've now shown me.

1808862 QUITE

1808879
Indubitably.

1808885 Yes

1808912
Hmm. Rather.

Bolly....

1798123 USS Yorktown CV-5 Battles of Coral Sea and Midway

USS Samuel B Roberts DE-413 Battle of Leyte Gulf

1809253
I"m out of expressions. You win.

1815866
Seems a lot of us would like to have seen the mismatch off Samar as well as the whole conflict of Leyte Gulf... In a destroyer or destroyer escort no less. I might have to start work on a time machine...
