Mine Sweeper No 38 Receives NYC Reception
Mine Sweeper No 38 was part of a 59-ship fleet that cleared the North Sea of 55 000 mines. The fleet returned to the United States and was greeted by a large reception in New York City. Crews endured up to twenty five days at sea in storms and rough seas. The work was deemed impossible by other navies, yet the United States completed it ahead of schedule. The U S Navy did the impossible again. About all of Turkey in Europe will be left only the wish bone.
