From November 9, 2012, KUAR "Fundraiser To Help Bring the USS Hoga To Arkansas" by Kezia Nanda.
The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum is trying to acquire the USS Hoga to Little Rock to join the USS Razorback.
The tugboat was at Pearl Harbor that day and helped save the battleship USS Nevada from sinking and served throughout the war in the Pacific. This might be the only vessel still around from the attack so it would be a shame to lose it.
The fundraiser was held Nov. 10th.
This would be an addition attraction at the museum (I'd never heard of before) that had 17,000 visitors in 2011.
Hope They Get It. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
