Since I’m the only representative from these woods, I suppose I should explain stuff, one thing about yoopers, we don’t like explaining stuff, at times it’s needed. The other day I some fish so I went out to the front yard, as you can see, I’m not the only one who likes fish, fresh mind you.

What’s cool about that saying is King Leonidas actually said it,

The Hot gate, we yoopers, kinda sorta and somewhat have our own Hot gate. This guy is a good example of yoopers around. Likes music, the outdoors and good people

Don’t let his good nature fool you none, his wisdom still rings true

“The best thing that could happen to the U.P. would be for someone to bomb the bridge”.
John Voelker, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice

Ole King Leonidas said something else as well

” The world will know, Few stood against many”. At Leyte Gulf, his words came true by the yooper Mclintock and friends.

Shortly after midnight on 24 October DARTER (Commander D.H . McClintock, USN) and DACE (Commander B.D. Claggett III, USN) were lying to about 50 feet apart while the two commanding officers chatted by megaphone. Suddenly DARTER’s radar operator broke in to report a ship contact at 15 miles. Both submarines cranked up flank speed and took course to intercept the contact, which developed into a formation of ships making 15 knots up the Palawan Passage from the south. The high speed indicated a naval task force.

As the sky lightened in the east, DARTER turned back toward the left hand column and dove. DACE continued on for 20 minutes-then she too submerged into the quiet deep to await developments.

They were not long in coming. At 0632 DARTER closed the lead ship of the left column to less that 1000 yards, and pumped five torpedoes into the heavy cruiser ATAGO. Turning sharply away to expose her after torpedo tubes, DARTER then scored four hits out of four shots from the after nest into the next ship in column, the heavy cruiser TAKAO. Damage done, DARTER stole away listening to the racket of exploding ships and retributive depth charges.

DARTER’s attack was unquestionably the most damaging individual submarine attack of the war. This came as the result of DARTER’s near perfect attack on the two lead ships of the left column. plus an incredible double dose of good luck. The first piece of luck was that the cruiser AT AGO happened to be the flagship for Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita, the task force commander. ATAGO sank fast enough to put the Admiral in the water whence he was picked up by a destroyer and taken to the battleship YAMATO, which became his new flagship. ATAGO sank with considerable loss of life, including about half of the flag communications division. Poor communications would hamper the task force for the remainder of the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
