So if you like to tone up on history...here is a bit that you may know or you may not.  To read the article just click here: HERE

QUEEN OF THE U-BOAT KILLERS

USS CARD...REMEMBERED
        Queen of the U-Boat Killers
           

Yes readers she was "one" of the first....hastily converted escort carrier, CVE-11
She had to prove herself....and she did with a "fighting heart" and the champion of a
Dragon Slayer.
Actually the Card was actually called "The Lucky Eleven".  Let me tell you folks she
carried the fight to the U-boats and for the most part she won every fight she picked.
