Pearl Harbor, HawaiiBy Mark Potts | World War II Time Travel | Single Page | 6 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post What Else to See Subscribe Today
While the USS Arizona Memorial and visitor center are the focal points of most visits to Pearl Harbor, three other attractions are clustered nearby. The USS Bowfin, a World War II submarine that sank 44 Japanese ships, is located next to the Arizona memorial's visitor center and available for walking tours (bowfin.org; $10 adults, $4 children, $7 seniors and military). A short bus ride away is the Pacific Aviation Museum, whose World War II–era hangars house military aircraft and memorabilia (pacificaviationmuseum.org; $14 adults, $7 children). Another bus ride takes you to the USS Missouri, moored on Battleship Row (ussmissouri.com; $16 adults, $8 children; guided tours are an additional $7). Package deals with discounts on these attractions are available in various combinations. Most other key Pearl Harbor sites in Honolulu are closed to the public because Pearl Harbor is still an active navy base. But another sacred memorial is the little visited but spectacular National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, located in a volcanic crater known as Punchbowl (808-532-3720). The setting is dramatic and serene, and the edge of the crater offers some of the best views of Honolulu. More than 34,000 American veterans are interred at Punchbowl, including nearly 800 victims of the Pearl Harbor attack, Challenger astronaut Ellison Onizuka, and famed World War II journalist Ernie Pyle.

Only the battle ships in Pearl Harbor wasn´t informed by the us central intelligence about the approximation of the japanese fofrces and the rest of the navy was told not to inform them about it… Why is that? US intelligence at that time was able to read all the sisnals japanese was emitting. But the thing is US needed enough reason to start war. And here it is.

So you mean there was a 'conspiracy' that allowed the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor? What if the entire Pacific Fleet were sunk?….hmmm…you think that cunning plan to get into the war might have backfired??

Right. It is also proven by the conversation between Roosevelt and Churchill. Churchill also knew that the japanese troops were heading for Pearl Harbor.
There is so much hidden truth that US government prefers keep quiet because that is against them and that will turn the WWII history known as it is upside down.
Why the launching of atomic bomb can be justified even though it was against the international law?

There was no conversation with Roosevelt and Churchill. That was based on a document claimed to be in the National Archives from the book the Gestapo Chief. Its not there. It's far likely a fake, made up by Gregory Douglas.

Could this, and other sites, please restrict the use of the comments box to those who can write and spell in a language that at the very least resembles proper English! The submission of same with misspelled words should qualify these individuals to have their computers seized. It's like "fingernails on the chalkboard" to read this butchery. Ever heard of spell check?
