USS INDEPENDENCE CVL-22 "A War Diary of .. Error correction

Post by John G. Lambert »

Reference: USS INDEPENDENCE CVL-22 "A War Diary of the Nation's First Dedicated Night Carrier"
ISBN: 978-0-9838869-1-4
If you have purchased an Enhanced Edition of my book on the history of the CVL-22 kindly correct page 269 to indicate that she had ten Twin 40mm guns after the repair / refit at Hunters Point, when she returned to the war in June 1944.
Also please change page 804 (Specifications - Armament) - from nine to ten after the 44 repairs.
I will be uploading a correction next week however I would like to have the error corrected in the books you may have.

USS Independence CVL-22 Gun count.
10 Twin 40mm Bofors were on board (AFTER June 1944), vs. the 9 stated in my book.
My gratitude is extended to Steve Wiper of Classic Warships for catching an error in my book.
Steve has a photo from a good angle that pretty well shows 10.
Thank you again Steve.
