Cool pix!

I always thought that this shot of the kamikaze attack on the USS Bunker Hill was a spectacular photo. May 11, 1945 killed 393 sailors and airmen and wounded 264. This photo was used for the cover of the Victory At Sea series, volume #1, with the 33 1/3 record that of course came included with it. There were three records in the series from the late 1950’s. I still have all three but volume two sleeve is falling apart, and unfortunately, no record player for which to play them on.

 

As well as the restoration of the HMS Warrior, the RN's first iron clad warship. The same may be said of Togo's flagship at Tsuhima, IJN's Mikasa. I would love to see her (as well as Dewey's Olympia) and Brazil's San Paulo. I've seen the Monitor and the Hunley (in their conservation lab) but not the Constitution. Haven't seen the remains of the ironclad Cairo (pronounced Kay-row in the Midwest and not Kye-row like most of humanity does).
