I'm just telling you what a lot of people actually fighting right in that area though at the time, my father being one of them.

And my dad knew quite a bit about engines in boats because he operated landing craft during Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Florida Island, Tanambogo, and Gavutu Islands campaign.

Interesting picture of ship he was on when it was torpedoed. Some hole huh? http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/02/100200914.jpg
