The Ghost Ship or better known as USS Ben Franklin

Thanks for the video. My father was on the Carrier USS Benjamin Franklin when off the coast of Okanowa when the Japanese almost sank it. My dad was a DAmage Controlman and fought fires and flooding for 8 days without a break to keep it afloat so that the Japanese could not claim sinking a Essex class Carrier. Based on that experiance my father told me if I ever stepped foot on a Carrier he would shot me. Rest in peace Dad.
