Pre-War Service
editMy Grandpa was a U.S. Marine Non Com who served on the Philadelphia before the War. He said that while officially they were on "Neutrality Patrol" they were in the English Channel shooting down Luftwaffe bombers. This would have made a certain sense since the Philadelphia's numerous primary and secondary armaments could all super-elevate. Is there any way we can corroborate this story? 76.111.80.228 (talk) 15:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
