Hi,

Very nice pictures. The carnage was terrible - just look at that photo of destroyed destroyer- Cassin? in front of Pennslyvania.



Ron Saueracker -> RE: Pearl Harbor Photos (5/10/2006 4:15:42 AM)

Notice the McCann rescue chamber?

Given that there isn't any antiaircraft fire over the harbor I would assume its probably friendly.

Some I have seen before but most are new to me.



33Vyper -> RE: Pearl Harbor Photos (5/10/2006 5:47:23 AM)

I too have seen some of these before. They look a bit retouched though...the clarity in some of the photos is quite good.

Thank you for posting these !

To all,

You’re all very welcome, I knew they'd be a hit here. I too think I may have seen one or two of the images before, but most are brand new to me too.

I’ve been busy back-tracking the chain email I received trying to track down the original author to see if they can shed some light on the origination of the images and give us a little more detail (and hopefully more images, drool).

So far I’ve tracked the post back to a guy at the Johnson Space Center, and I’m hoping he is the original author. But as all things chain letters go, this post could have been circulating through thousands of people since Dec. 7th 2000 or something and I’d have no hope finding the original author then.

Everyone: Remember what I was saying about single-digit fires in the PH attacks for the US? BTW, I'm tending more to believe that the conditions of ships from the previous turn, are the condition they were damaged with when we see them next. I know this because I had a PC which had been attacked by a sub, adajacent to a base. This was damaged seriously enough that it split from it's parent TF during the execution phase. This means it then plots towards that same base (happened to be it's home base). It had at least one move during a pulse, as well all know, but yet it didn't move in there before the player turn (it's parent TF was stationary).

To re-hash, there are no US ships, no matter how repeatedly pounded (in the scenario15 PH attack), that are coming up with more then single-digit fires, and if you draw the same conclusion I do regarding the PC that split and didn't make it to base, when it clearly should have, if anything was being affected after that attack, then the good US firefighting has no chance to help those boats by the time you get to take a look at the damage on 12/8 and you shouldn't see this advantage revealed until the 12/9 US player turn.

I have played scenario15 3 times where I saved it and then went back and saw the ships damaged. There is not a single ship in these three instances that has more than single-digit fires - none. Does PH have an asbestos coating on the ships? Are ALL US ships this well protected no matter the time or place?

Agreed. Excellent stuff Jim.

Any ideas on what is exploding in no.14?

I visited Hawaii in 1999 and spent a day at Pearl Harbour. The deck of the Arizona is just 1-2 feet below the surface and is very visible. Oil is still bubbling up from the wreck. It gives you a very eerie and solemn feeling, since the Harbour does not look that different from that day in 1941...



I read that they are worried about the ecological disaster that would happen when the 200,000 gallons of oil finally spill out of the Arizona's bunkers. ANyone know if they've done anything about this yet?

Man..that is one hot fire. The mast, perhaps 30 feet from the flames, is smoldering from the raidant heat and the smoke is being sucked into the fire horizontally [X(]

The National Parks Department has, and continues to, fund studies on this very question. (I read this as what would be classified as "pork" spending, but I am getting more cynical as I get older.)

The debates, heavily saturated with input from enviornmentalist experts, are on what would be an effective solution. Some of the solutions suggested may turn out to lead to unintended side effects to either the ship (which is a national war grave), or the critters living in or around it (which is a protected natural habitat).

Chances are these bureaucrats will talk themselves to death, and only actually do anything after some catastrophic failure has taken place. Then there will be more finger pointing, and the Republicans will get blamed. [;)]

Planes present include at least seven OS2U, two SOC, one PBY-5, one F4F-3 and two TBD-1s. One of the TBDs may be Bureau # 0289, which was flown by Ensign Theodore W. Marshall, USNR, during his attempt to follow Japanese planes back to their carriers on 7 December. He was awarded the Silver Star for the effort.

The torpedoed cruiser Helena (CL-50) is in Drydock Number Two, in center, for repairs. She was the first ship to use that newly constructed dock.
Drydock Number One is just below Drydock Number Two. It holds the relatively undamaged battleship Pennsylvania (BB-38) and the wrecked destroyers Cassin (DD-372), capsized, and Downes (DD-375).
Note dark oil streaks on the harbor surface.

There are a whole lot of interesting (to me) pics on the salvage. I will refrain from posting them, but link instead: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-salv.htm ..

Shortly afterward. [;)]

Amazing that they caught the event on film. You can even see the mainmast start to fall foward if you look closely enough before the whole forward part of the ship is enveloped by smoke.
