Today, December 8, is the 73rd anniversary of the start of the Pacific War during WW2

The day WW2 got a lot bigger.

 

My uncle survived as a Chief on the Battleship Nevada.

I can't help but believe the American Navy was lucky to be sunk via air naval warfare,
in Pearl Harbor and not the deep ocean, like those Brit ships trying to get to Singapore.

Yeah, a number of the ships that the Japanese reported sunk at PH were there at the surrender ceremony in '45.
