BUT THE MANCHESTER?... THEY ' LL NEVER FORGET HER

Page 152 text:

And so a Diary closes. Ten months and 76,0 00 miles later, men of the Manchester could look behind to a record of success their teamwork had made possible. With 29,602 rounds of 6-inch and 5-inch ammunition expended, the ship ' s guns had rendered useless miles of railroad track and highway complex. They had destroyed entire areas of transportation facili- ties, 35 bridges, 2 freight locomotives, 3 freight trains, 165 barracks, warehouses, and other buildings, 35 trucks, 37 gun emplacements, 6 power stations, 30 junks and minelaying craft, an oil dump, a lumber yard. An estimated 6,815 Red troops had been killed, 5 industrial staging areas destroyed, 1 large staging city over 50 percent destroyed. And this, revealing only a fragment of the experience her men shared, will someday be little more than an indefinite recollection . . .
