Awesome pics!
Anybody can explain the origins of the term 'Murderer's row' for the CVs Wasp, Yorktown, Hornet, and Hancock? It does ring a bell, but I cannot link it to a specific event.

The 1927 New York Yankees lineup was referred to as Murders Row as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri and company were an awesome offensive team.

Someone on the forum mentioned that this is the proof of Yamamoto's statement about "Waking the sleeping giant!"

I read a story about a sailor who got liberty at Ulithi. He said there were facilities for the officers, but the enlisted men were all crowded into a muddy area with no facilities and given a bottle of beer. They were not allowed to leave until their liberty was up. Many turned down liberty at Ulithi after that.

Thanks guys!
Was there some specific known situation where the term was from then on used for a row of US CVs, or is it just an obvious use of the term and noone knows who first linked it to the CVs?

If you look at the anchorage layout drawing one might think that the games port size for Ulithi of 3 is off a bit. Majuro as well since it was converted into an advance base like Ulithi. Ulithi is size 3, should be 5 or 6 and Majuro is size 1 again it should be 5 or 6 ... minimum 4. IMHO.

Port size in the game drives unload speeds and repair capability. While Ulithi was a vast, relatively safe anchorage, how much shore infrastructure was ever built? If you make it a 6 you're making it roughly a Brisbane, and that's nuts.

I've always wished that the game had two port size ratings: one for anchorage size and another for facilities. As it is, there's really nothing to distinguish between someplace like Eniwetok, which had a large enough anchorage to hold all the navies of the world, and Wake Island, which could barely manage one or two ships.

True, but if we were going to change one thing with bases I would vote for being able to direct engineers to fix a specific kind of damage before they worked on AF/port automatically. With liberal use of tenders and ARDs plus naval support you can make a small port into a "big" one to an extent now.
