[ARC5] Torpedo Squadron 8

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I remember reading the story of this battle.  Ensign Gay was the only survivor of the entire squadron.  He floated in a life jacket (IIRC) after being shot down and had a ringside seat to watch the basic annihilation of the Jap fleet by the following Navy attacks.  BIG turning point in the Pacific war!
