The Second Pearl Harbor: The West Loch Disaster, May 21, 1944
No reviews
$34.95
In May 1944, with American forces closing in on the Japanese mainland, the Fifth Fleet Amphibious Force was preparing to invade Saipan. Control of this island would put enemy cities squarely within range of the B-29 bomber. The navy had assembled a fleet of landing ship tanks (LSTs) in the West Loch section of Pearl Harbor.
On May 21, an explosion tore through the calm afternoon sky, spreading fire and chaos through the ordnance-packed vessels. When the fires had been brought under control, six LSTs had been lost, many others were badly damaged, and more than 500 military personnel had been killed or injured. To ensure the success of those still able to depart for the invasion-miraculously, only one day late-the navy at once issued a censorship order, which has kept this disaster from public scrutiny for seventy years.
I did not see this to purchase the day we hiked Diamond Head so I was really happy to find it here. Great quality, the hand lettering looks wonderful. It’s a fun souvenir for us to remember our wonderful hike.
Really nice shirt, but definitely size up at least one size. I went up two sizes and one would have been enough but I like that the shirt is loose now.
Took a family vacation and visited Pearl Harbor in October. When we got home we wanted a keepsake for our trip and found this ornament on the PHP website. It's great and was very easy to order and took about five days to get this from Hawaii to Wisconsin.
My veteran husband always enjoys his coffee in a Pearl Harbor mug we got on vacation a few years ago. When it eventually broke I reordered several—reasonable price, prompt and friendly service. You are awesome!
