These photographs were classified during WWll.
Many of us have not seen photography like this before. Beautiful, stark black and white pictures, about 110 of them,
of historical significance in this collection. At the end of the pics there are some interesting comments.
For many of us, our fathers and/or grandfathers participated in this action...

Thanks for posting.
Dad served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific during WWII. He was already in service when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, having joined up in the 30s to escape the harsh reality of life during the Depression.
Dad never spoke much of his service. I asked him once if he had killed anyone in the war, and he said, "Yes, I helped kill a great many, but they were a long way off." (He served on a big cruiser.)
He said that service in the Navy was better than being a ground-pounder. He said that he always had a bunk to sleep in, and always had hot food to eat, unless the ship was under General Quarters.
Beyond that, he didn't say much, but he did come away from the war with a deep hatred for the Japanese and the British.
