Any moviegoer can tell you the largest USN ship in WW2 was the USS Nimitz. If only for a few minutes!

Steam sloops/corvettes, as far as I know. I think they were built by British shipyards (certainly some of the early Japanese steam navy was) but again I'm not totally sure.

Class name, not Class type

New Trivia Question. What was the last US built warship to be sunk by the British 'in anger"?

Try this one: what was the largest American ship to actually have seen service up to the end of WWII?

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. :lol_spit_1:
