George E. Pierce
Blair, Silent Victory, p. 835 lists George E. Pierce as the skipper of Tunny when she was flagship of Pierce's Pole Cats. I have deleted the hidden comment questioning that, and changed the spelling to Pole Cats. WeeWillieWiki (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * There doesn't seem to be a consensus on the one-word vs. two- issue. Blair is a reliable source, but so is Adm. Lockwood, whose book is titled "Hellcats of the Sea".


 * Hellcats, Hepcats, etc.: DANFS, ,
 * Hell Cats, Hep Cats, etc.: Blair, ,
 * For what it's worth, Wikipedia uses hellcat, polecat, and bobcat; the two-word versions are redirects.

By all means, feel free to change the spelling if you're so inclined; I just changed it to match Blair. I don't have a copy of Lockwood; does it list Pierce or Price as the CO for that wolf pack? WeeWillieWiki (talk) 21:22, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
