During the Battle of Savo Island on August 9, 1942, Fireman Vincent Kitts fought to escape the burning USS Astoria after Japanese shells ripped through her decks. Trapped behind a jammed hatch, he helped break it open and leapt into the sea without a life preserver. After six hours in shark-infested waters, he was rescued. Having already survived the sinkings of Lexington and Yorktown, Kitts called the Astoria crew “men with guts” who “stayed at their battle stations until ordered to leave.” #WW

Thescaryfact ™ on Instagram: "In 1942, during WWII, 19-year-old Signalman Elgin Staples survived the sinking of the USS Astoria by clinging to an inflatable life belt. The device kept him afloat until rescuers arrived. Later, Staples discovered that the life belt had been inspected and approved at the factory by his own mother, Vera. Her work on the production line had unknowingly saved her son’s life. 👉 For more incredible survival stories, follow @thescaryfact."
