Don't blink, we've got 19 minutes to relive the attack that put USS BUCKLEY DE-51 on the map. Captain Abel gives an order that hadn't been issued in the U.S. Navy since 1814 "Standby to repel boarders." Learn how the sailors of the BUCKLEY defended their ship with anything they could get their hands on including hammers, empty projectiles, and coffee cups.
If you’d like to follow along while you listen, use the transcript and bibliography and take a look at some photos of BUCKLEY.
