About this listen
In this episode of the US Navy History Podcast, hosts Dale and Christophe dive into the lesser-known yet impactful bombardment of Samsun on June 7th, 1922, during the Turkish War of Independence. They explore the strategic, tactical, and moral dimensions of the Greek naval attack, the aftermath of which saw civilian deaths, widespread destruction, and complicated diplomatic ripples. The episode examines how this brief yet devastating event underscores the limits of naval power, the responsibilities of maritime warfare, and its lasting impact on modern military practices and humanitarian laws. The hosts also honor fallen hero Specialist Devin J. Kuhn, reflecting on his life, service, and ultimate sacrifice.
