Pearl Harbor: A Memorial + A Warship + A Submarine (03 FEB 2009)

Today is Pearl Harbor day. Despite this being our 4th and 5th trips to Hawaii, respectively, Steve has yet to visit Pearl Harbor (despite his being a genuine Military Brat), so off we went to pay homage to the many victims of 07 DEC 1941 and then some...

Tetefano Kane (a.k.a. SM) went nuts with the videomachine on this day and while it is all very interesting, the l-o-n-g tour of Pearl Harbor is perhaps not 'for everyone', so we'll first offer you the 'short version' in photos and then the 'long version' in the form of three video clips wide slides interspersed.

The SHORT version (photos only):

USS Arizona Memorial:


USS Bowfin Submarine:


The USS Missouri (last used in Gulf War):


And even tough servicemen and women need one of these from time to time:


And now the LONG version:

USS Bowfin Submarine:



USS Arizona Memorial:



USS Missouri:
