    Default Dec 7th , 1941

    Noticed how farther away it gets and our WWII vet passing, there is less and less mention. Growing up in the 50's I remember that day was reserved in school to learn and remember. In 1969, in the Navy I got to see Pearl , a very sobering occasion seeing the leaking oil still coming from the ships

    I agree Pearl is a sobering place to visit. My father was moved by it to enlist in WWll

    There were 16 million men and women who served in WWII, only 167,000 of the greatest generation veterans are left?!! Never forget them, that why we are here today?!! I only hope there is not a WWIII?!!

    Agreed.

    Also, our submarine fleet remained largely intact....although many were lost in attacking the Japanese.

    https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/sub...rld-war-ii.htm
    According to Naval historian Gary E. Weir, “In all, U.S. submarines destroyed 1,314 enemy warships in the Pacific, representing 55% of all Axis power warships lost and a total of 5.3 million tons of shipping.”

    The American success came at a cost, though. In World War II, 52 US submarines were lost, with a total of 3,506 officers and enlisted men killed. The US Navy Submarine Service had the highest casualty percentage of any American forces in the War: about 20%.
    https://maritime.org/doc/subsinpacific.php
    The fifty-one submarines at Pearl Harbor, on the west coast of the U.S., and at Manila, Philippine Islands were the only ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet able to retaliate after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. The attack put the U.S. Battle Force out of action. Our Fleet Class submarines had been designed as advanced scouts for that force. However, by good fortune, they had the speed, endurance, and weapon load to make them admirably suited for another role; attacking Japanese shipping throughout the Pacific. As a result they were immediately assigned the new role, and a basic military strategy of strangulation of Japan was fashioned about them....

    ...Devastating, too, was the loss of thousands of troop reinforcements when they went down with the transports sunk by our submarines. These losses were serious, but a far more serious loss brought about by our submarines was the failure of the Japanese merchant marine to provide the Japanese home islands with critical war materials. They blanketed the areas around the Japanese home islands and outposts throughout the Pacific. They were active off Indonesia, the Philippines, the Gilbert, Marshall, Caroline and Mariana Islands, New Guinea, the Dutch East Indies, and the western Aleutians. They quickly began sinking Japan's merchant fleet, and prevented it from supplying their far-flung empire with arms, fuel, food and troops.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.
