Question: Did the allies in the First World War try to prosecute any officers of the German navy due to their usage of unrestricted submarine warfare? Also were there similar attempts to do so at Nuremberg (or sub-courts) after the Second Word War?

2020-07-07 06:53:56 +0000 UTCI believe it was 2nd gun in the 2nd Turret. The US navy wasn’t really sure what happened exactly as both turret crews died in a similar fashion to USS Iowa

2020-07-03 19:20:18 +0000 UTCOne carrier Captain mentioned that on most carriers, the Marines were in charge of one quadrant's worth of guns. On his ship he specifically pulled them out and allocated all of them to 20mm guns, on the theory that they had more marksmanship training than the sailors.
