The carrier, known as "The Ship That Wouldn't Die", survived a direct hit by a Japanese armor-piecing bomb just fifty miles off the coast of Japan in March 1945. In an instant, the crew's lives were changed forever and the events that followed would make the story of "Big Ben".

Chip, in 1980 I met an security Guard who said he was on the Franklin. The look in his eyes and the brief description of the attack and the painful damage control to save the Ship. I do not think he pulled my leg. He was the quiet type. Strange memory as an 18 year old me somehow got on that topic.
