Well, it's that time of year again; Pearl Harbor Day. I was reflecting back on the attack. Hope you guys like the links.

The part I find the most interesting, is of coarse the midget sub attack. The USS Ward sinking the midget sub.

Wow, I learned something new! The beached midget sub was chased by the USS Helm! I always thought it just got beached( it was never chased). I also saw on the map where the USS Monaghan sank a midget sub. I didn't realize the midget subs had penetrated so far into the harbor.

In regards to Pearl Harbour, I believe I recently read that there will soon be a new memorial dedicated to the men of the USS Oklahoma in addition to the USS Utah and USS Arizona memorials. I think it's a good idea to add such a memorial, considering the level of casualties from the Oklahoma and that fact that the other two aforementioned ships which were total losses currently have memorials for their crews.

It's too bad that the wreck of the Oklahoma wasn't preserved (she sank while under tow for scrapping in case anyone didn't know), but I think most of the bodies of her dead were recovered for burial and the memorial will still be a fitting tribute, with or without the actual ship. Has anyone else heard any more about this?
