Under heavy fire, the crew orders hard left rudder, drops the port anchor, secures the hatch, pours on fire, and launches every available plane. Resolve replaces panic—just not today—and the “fight the enemy where they aren’t” line from Art of War is dismissed as not what it means. With turret three down and only one high-explosive round left, a thousand-pound shell must be moved 500 feet to turret two and readied under pressure. The gun is armed and laid to train 330 and elevation 220; final honors are exchanged over the last round, and the shot is fired, locked on target.
