They were orange, but my phone camera made them appear yellow.

Stupid Admiral Andrews allowed the ship to be cremated.

You're absolutely right! Andrews was a moron! It takes a special type of idiot to reject a suggestion by the ship's own designer! If they had opened the sea cocks like Vladimir Yourkevitch, Normandie would not have capsized. It's a real shame.

And the war would've ended sooner.

Most certainly. Winston Churchill credited the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth with shortening the war. If Normandie was there the war may have ended even quicker.
