It's a sad article, so please take time to read it, for the Pearl Harbor Association will be getting together for the LAST TIME. Breaks my heart!!!


That first picture is of the USS Shaw's (DD-373) forward magazines exploding. I was surprised to find out that the ship was repaired and served throughout the Pacific during the war. It was decommissioned in 1946.
