Thanks for the quick reply. I've come across a lot of the same things you mentioned already. I might have no choice but to make an extended visit to NARA...there's a section on PBS in the Engineering records there which may have some of the answers I seek. I actually got a copy of the Photographic History of the Peninsular Base Section used on Amazon. Quite neat pictures, including Engineers turning capsized ships in Naples Harbor (apparently scorched Earth tactics by the retreating Germans) into piers! The book has a brief mention of the raid, but nothing else too useful.
