[edit] Retaliation??

"During this action, an enemy machine-gun bullet killed one of her deck gunners, TM3 Mike Harbin, the only man to perish on the top deck of a submarine during World War II. In retaliation, the submarine's gunners riddled the enemy until he spouted flames and sank."

The use of the word retaliation implies this casulaty prompted the American attack, but according to Trumbull the sub was allready attacking when Harbin was killed. Neither does he indicate that the american attack was more severe due to Harbin's death. I will remove the entire second sentence above unless anyone can offer a source to justify this wording.--john.james (talk) 00:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
