Early in the US involvement in the War, the US Navy sought to "get the word out" about what was happened on several fronts. I have come across...
I came across some intelligence documents on my last trip to NARA II in October... one covers the incident and shows what the Allies knew of Stier...
You can get a lot of those for free at: HyperWar: USN War Damage Report--index As well as on my site
If that number is true then it would have taken longer, as they would have needed to disassemble them to get that many into the overheads. I've...
A correction of sorts; the ships were large enough and far enough away from Ford Island that there was plenty of room for each to use their own...
Also a good resource. "Resurrection" by Dan Madsen is a good read as well.
SC 127000 and SC 127012 are often miss-captioned. They were damaged in a collision; you can see the slash in 337's fuselage from the other's wing...
I was traveling on the 7th and busy enough that I wasn't able to post this here, but better late than never: USS California BB-44 Pearl Harbor...
I lived on Maui for a bit; one of my favorite "echoes" was the UDT-14 memorial at Kamaole Beach Park I. I've been keeping my eyes out ever since...
One that's missing from that is USS Vega's: Pearl Harbor Attack: USS Vega (AK-17) Action Report It should be noted that she was at Honolulu...
Here's a shorter piece I came across and posted, hopefully of some interest: Unknown Destroyer; gunnery support in invasion of Guam - Log and report.
I'm as too quick to criticize the current generation. I've read pieces from the late 1930s bemoaning the kids of the day and the dire predictions...
Possible of similar interest; I came across and scanned in a document relating to members of the Silver Shirts who were working at the Puget Sound...
Check out the site in mine; I'm chugging along behind you guys! But that's why I can say it's good work.
Congratulations! Quite a body of work there. I don't know that many people could hold that dedication.
I posted there under the name Pilikia as far as I remember (Hawaiian word for trouble) but don't remember if I had Researcher@Large anywhere in my...
Minor Correction; Helena was escorting USS Long Island to Guadalcanal in August. That's why I've said that the true turning point of the war was...
Well, since this is in the Pacific Theater section I'll stick with Pacific battles. I would say that if I have to include land action, it would...
Speaking of cowlings; "proper" cowling design can minimize (but not eliminate) the drag penalty of a radial over an inline engine. The Vought...
I don't know if it's been said in the thread, but my thought is that the European theater affected more "peoples" than the Pacific. Some of Japan...
