Talk:USCGC Taney (WHEC-37)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] In Honolulu Harbor during the attack on Pearl Harbor
It's interesting to me that Wikipedia duplicates the Taney DANFS article nearly word for word EXCEPT, wikipedia excludes the following sentence, "...the surprise attack reached her simultaneously. As no Japanese attacks were directed at Honolulu harbor, the Coast Guard cutter was only given the opportunity to fire at stray aircraft which happened to venture into her vicinity. She was firing upon unidentified aircraft as late as noon, indicating that the eager Coast Guardsmen were probably shooting at American planes—not Japanese." --Dual Freq (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Taney's AAR backs this up, firing at aircraft after Japanese planes were long gone. --Dual Freq (talk) 16:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
