The Pensy

edit

My Grandfather was an electrician on the Pensacola for most of the Pacific action. I have talked extensively with him about his combat experiences on the ship.

Anyone interested in knowing more should email me at jackleg128@hotmail.com with the title "USS Pensacola" if you want any information.

Inappropriate tone

edit

This article was obviously written with a lot of love for the subject matter, but the tone reads more like an adventure story for boys than for an encyclopedia. Particularly the section about the Battle of Tassafaronga. Entirely too dramatic. The Masked Booby (talk) 01:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Language like "slammed" - "plastered" - etc., is not encyclopedic.104.169.39.45 (talk) 19:49, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
