		The Portland had a length of 610 feet in length, 66 feet in maximum beam or width, and drew about 22 feet from the keel to the waterline in the forward part of the ship, `a little more aft’ as the author wrote.
		As the author wrote, “this proved to be the salvation of the ship and crews as World War II demonstrated.” While the ship drew praise on her seamanship, it was in the fields of gunnery and damage control that “saved her on at least two occasions” in naval engagements against the Japanese.
		The Portland, in fact, went on to participate in the campaigns in the landings on Tarawa (Betio) in November 1943, the Marshall Islands (Eniwetok, Kwajalein, and Roi-Namur) in February-Marsh 1944 where the crews skillfully and effectively employed their 8-inch guns against Japanese defenses on these islands.
