My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

U.S. Pearl Harbor Losses: Cruisers and Destroyers
CRUISERS:
HEAVY DAMAGE BUT REPAIRED: USS Raleigh
LIGHT DAMAGE: USS New Orleans, USS Detroit, USS San Francisco, USS Helena, USS Honolulu.
DESTROYERS: DESTROYED BUT PARTS SALVAGED: USS Downes, USS Cassin
HEAVILY DAMAGED: USS Shaw. (With that explosion I have to wonder how they were ever able to get the ship back in service.
