Quote: 23Feb42. Japanese submarine I-17 shells oil refinery at Ellwood, California.
A Japanese submarine fires 25 5-inch shells at the Bankline Oil Refinery near Ellwood, California. The attack caused no casualties and negligible damage to the facility. The US Army and Navy begin an immediate hunt for the submarine.

Com'on, Guys.
You should recall, Werner labelled the shelling of a West coast oil refinery by a Japanese sub the act of a disgruntled former employee.
I do not know which, if any, union the skipper had belonged to.
Bet it wasn't put to a vote.  Com'on, Guys.
