December 7, a day that will live in infamy

Today is the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. They were pretty successful, except for the fact that the U.S. carriers were out to sea and they came in quite handy at the Battle of Midway. In the next four years, the U.S. built 50 more aircraft carriers, the atomic bomb, and won the war with Japan.  In these times, the military can't even build one ship in that time, let alone dominate the world's oceans.

Here's a web site with fascinating photo tours of museums and ships from that war.
