[MRCA] D-Day

[Ray Fantini]

At the NSA Museum over by Fort Mead they have a huge painting of the sinking of the Japanese carriers that was a direct result of the information that captain Rochefort provided, in a sense I always thought of that action as the point where the Japanese Navy lost the advantage and in many ways the war in the pacific in the span of several minutes.
And as the NSA tour guides will tell you while you are there that as a reward for providing the key information at the right time commander Rochefort was then given the command of a dry dock at Pearl Harbor.
Looks like the general staff and administration of the time were not big fans, funny how some things never change.
