Thanks for sharing these pictures with us gents. All the photos were good. The shot of the Arizona Memorial (where you can see the sunken wreckage) reminded me of the first time I saw it in r/l. Was ship's company on the U.S.S. New Orleans and we stopped in at Pearl on the way home after a WestPac to pick up some Tigers and catch a couple days liberty in Hawaii before we returned to San Diego.
Will never forget the somber and sad mood that came over me as I pondered what those last few moments were like for the men trapped in the wreckage, who must have known their death was certain. What a way to go, poor souls all, may they rest in peace.
Regards
