That would be great if you have the time!

Looks like there are other ideas coming from players too. Thanks guys!

I think this may be able to be done. I've not looked into the specific Harbor files yet, but if I'm going to make a pre war start.....Pearl is going to have a "face lift" regarding its Harbor look and make-up of assets positioned there. And, if my plan is to have the Pearl Harbor Attack Mission, there will definitively be some changes done.

However, you should note, the damage done to Battle Ship Row was never completely cleaned up. Especially during the war. The Oklahoma is the BB capsized during the attack. She wasn't righted until November 1943, yet never used for the remainder of the war. I don't know where they put her, but it wasn't until 1947 did the Navy think they could tow her back to the mainland. It was during that tow she capsized again and sunk...this time for good. Of course the Arizona was never moved. So, to remove all the damaged ships in Pearl would not be the thing to do.

The more I think about it, especially on this Memorial Day, I'm likely to leave the Harbor just as it is after December 7th.

Good Memorial Day to you all!!
