but i knew the language of the navy and knew the culture of the navy. in terms of, for example, one of the biggest places my navy experience helped was in the rumors that an sos had been sent from indianapolis and ignored by the navy and covered up by multiple parties at multiple stations and just being familiar with the culture of the navy, after looking into it and analyzing it, that cover-up didn't really stand. it did not make sense. not only did no one have anything to gain by that, but also the number of records that , would have to have been falsified for that to happen was just insurmountable. it just didn't make sense that there was some kind of conspiracy to cover up an sos. another place that came into play, my navy experience came into play, had to do with the national archives. that is that there was a subsiding about 700 miles ahead of the indianapolis' path had been surmised to perhaps be i 58, the ship that sank indianapolis ultimately. it had also been said by some respected historians that maybe that submarine didn't really exist. then

navy over what happened might sue the navy over what happened. it seemed to be a red herring, a canard. and really, you know, i had no moral problems fighting that point of view. and so what we ended up do is being taking a moral approach rather than legal approach to get things moving forward. >> thank you. >> and a quick question. senator warner's prior service as secretary of the navy, did that ever come up in any of the discussions in terms of his initial reluctant to move forward? >> that was one of the concerns that senator smith had.c to mov forward? >> that was one of the concerns that senator smith had.e to mov forward? >> that was one of the concerns that senator smith had. he served on the committee with warner and along with other names suchieberman 46-this is what happens when you are 55. those other guys and gals. so there was a concern that would he rule on it now. and i think it was because of the relationship with smith and warner that warner eventually agreed to have the hearings at all. and i can't get in to senator warner's he

we do fishery protection at the moment in the royal navy but thatis the moment in the royal navy but that is within an agreement within the eu so we will need more ships than that and of course the fishery protection squadron is the oldest squadron in the royal navy, but the a nswer squadron in the royal navy, but the answer is we do not have sufficient ships, but the navy could coordinate lots of these other departments, so we don't need a huge number of small ships to do this, we need better airborne surveillance, we already use satellite surveillance, and we would need to set number of ships, and i'm afraid this will mean an uplift. you don't get any of these things free that someone will have to pay for it but the navy would not do this task on its own, it would coordinate other departments and it would need small craft and extra men, and these other departments, the border force has only got five cutters and at one stage i think three years ago i remember complaining about the fact that only one of them was operational, one was in the mediterranean and three were being repaired,

by the way, we have no idea how this our navy, our pride works. there must be some real secret code. he was completely unreconstructed, which is sort of shocking. he was an admirer of the confederacy for his entire life. he wrote letters to "the new york times" defending beauregard and he was the head of the local chapter of the sons of confederate veterans, which indicates to me, to my dismay, that there was an active camp of veterans who lived in new york. but the good news is we have this amazing technological piece from the war. it didn't prove enough to save the confederate cause, happily, but it's a marvel to have. >> absolutely. let's just see the other detail of this object. did the union and the confederate ciphers differ at all? >> they were all fans or circles or fold-out accordions like this one. but they were definitely used in the union. even when abraham lincoln wrote letters to his wife while she was visiting new york or other places, he would write on top, quote, cipher, unquote, which he consistently misspelled. he was not a grea

every time an exoneration effort would be mounted, the navy would push back and say this court martial was legally just are filed. so that went on decade after decade. first the survivors, then captain mcvey's sons when they got older, they wrote to president reagan, vice president bush, and each time they were told the court mar shtial is legally sound and number two, presidents don't have the ability to overturn a navy court martial. so those letters happened in the 80s [']. and th '80s. and in the '90s, dan kerzman
