- Hook doesn't seem very hooky to me, perhaps something about the US only having one casualty? Or perhaps shorten it a bit. Template:Tq needs sourcing. Will do more review upon replies. Thanks, Matty.007 10:30, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- That's ridiculous. There's nothing all that interesting about a battle in which a steam age military incurred one casualty fighting against a bronze age enemy. However, of 60,000-odd battle deaths over 230 years the U.S. Navy has incurred, the very first one to occur in the Pacific Ocean is a chronological landmark. First, last, biggest, tallest, smallest - these are interesting things. "Less than usual, but not necessarily abnormal given conditions and circumstances," is not interesting.
