Good Morning...

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Dec 07, 2003 11:33 am

...Today is December the Seventh, Two-Thousand-and-Three.


62 years ago today, thousands of young men experienced somthing that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. The attack on the Naval Facility of Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii by the Imperial Jappenese Navy. May we all take a moment and remember all those young men who died protecting the United States of America from Jappenese and even German forces during the Second World War who were trying to over-power our way and British way of life...

Here are some statistics of that day that shall live infamy.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began at 7:55 a.m. Dec. 7, 1941. The attacking forces were broken down into two waves. The first consisted of 183 aircraft which included 40 torpedo planes, 49 level bombers, 51 dive bombers and 43 fighters. The second wave consisted of 170 planes which included 54 level bombers, 80 dive bombers and 36 fighters.

The attack also included four heavy-aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, 35 submarines, two light cruisers, nine oilers, two battleships and 11 destroyers.
