The U.S. military suffered 18 ships damaged or sunk, and 2,400 people were killed. Its most significant consequence was the entrance of the United States into World War II. The US had previously been neutral but subsequently entered the Pacific War, the Battle of the Atlantic and the European theatre of war. Following the attack, the US interned 120,000 Japanese Americans, 11,000 German Americans, and 3,000 Italian Americans.

The project is organised in five parts and covers the newspapers in chronological sequence. Part 1 provides full coverage for 1939; Part 2: 1940; Part 3: 1941; Part 4: 1942-1943; and finally, Part 5 covers 1944-1945. At last social historians and students of journalism can consult complete war-time runs of Britain’s popular newspapers in their libraries. Less august than the papers of record, it is these papers which reveal most about the impact of the war on the home front, the way in which people amused themselves in the face of adversity, and the way in which public morale was kept high through a mixture of propaganda and judicious reporting. Most importantly, it is through these papers that we can see how most ordinary people received news of the war. For, with a combined circulation of over 23 million by 1948, and a secondary readership far in excess of these figures, the News of the World, The People, the Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Express reached into the homes of the majority of the British public and played a critical role in shaping public perceptions of the war.

Brennan, U.S. Navy (Retired). Member, NJPHS “Oklahoma failed to fire a single shot in anger during two world wars.” Captain Herbert Fox Rommel, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) Pearl Harbor Survivor of USS Oklahoma2 The first and last U.S. warships sunk in the Pacific during World War II were violently destroyed with the massive loss of life; both were built by New York Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey; both suffered fatal damage from multiple torpedoes; both capsized within 12 minutes. The battleship, USS Oklahoma (BB 37), was sunk at Pearl Harbor on the morning of Sunday, 7 December 1941, with the loss of 429 officers and men; suffering the second greatest number of casualties that morning. Together with USS Arizona (BB 39) more than 60% of the fatalities that morning were suffered by these two ships on Battleship Row. Oklahoma was struck on the port side by as many as nine aircraft-launched torpedoes.3 Nearly 44 months later, the heavy cruiser, USS Indianapolis (CA 35),4 was sunk when struck in the starboard bow and amidships by two torpedoes fired by the Imperial Japanese submarine I-58 in the Philippine Sea on Monday, 30 July 1945, with the loss of approximately 880 officers and men. A further sad coincidence was that the last Commanding Officer Indianapolis, Captain McVay, the only naval officer court martialed and convicted for the loss of his ship in combat during either world war, was the son of Admiral Charles B.
  • Pearl Harbor INTRODUCTION

    Pearl Harbor INTRODUCTION

    Reading Comprehension/History Name ________________________________________________ Date ___________________ Pearl Harbor INTRODUCTION On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese Empire launched a sneak attack against the naval base of the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, on the Island of Oahu in what was then the territory of Hawaii (Hawaii did not become a state until 1959). Most Americans refer to the attack simply as "Pearl Harbor," and many historians regard it as one of the single most important events in the history of the United States. PART 1: CAUSES Between the 1860s and the 1940s, Japan's culture underwent profound changes, abandoning a long-standing isolationism in favor of rapid growth and change. After years of refusing to involve itself in the politics or economies of its neighbors, this was a big change. The economy of the Japanese Empire changed with it, going from a medieval agricultural economy to an urban industrial economy. New factories sprang up all over the country, ready to build goods which would be sold all over the world. However, Japan is a relatively small island nation, with very few natural resources. In order to get the materials they would need to supply their factories, the Japanese Empire began to invade mainland China, starting with the First Sino-Japanese War, in 1894-1895, during which Japan occupied, or took possession of, Korea and part of Manchuria (the northernmost territory of China). In 1904, Japan went to war with Russia (the Russo- Japanese War) in order to secure its new holdings in Korea. In 1931, Japan occupied the rest of Manchuria, prior to a series of skirmishes leading up to the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.

Sir Jonathon Band GCB DL—page 3 Unsung American Naval Hero —page 9 Also in this issue: Message From the Chairman, p. 2; Navy Museum News, pp. 15-18; Lady Franklin Bay Relief Expedition, pp. 20–21; Naval History News, pp. 22-24; News From the NHF, pp. 25–31. Message From the Chairman In recent weeks you should have received a letter from our new president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell, detailing many of the accomplishments made by your Naval Historical Foundation (NHF) during 2012. This annual appeal generates needed funds to sustain the day-to-day operations of the NHF. Copy paper, paper clips, pens, sticky notes, and most especially our people are the motor oil that keep the Foundation engine running; past year- end appeals have generated the sums needed to strengthen our fi nancial base. Thus, I hope that you can respond with a check or an online contribution. If you are in government service, also think about us as a designated charity for the Combined Federal Campaign. Your contributions make a big difference in our ability to preserve our naval history, commemorate the accomplishments of our Sailors, and educate Americans about our Navy’s great history and heritage. Education is one of our most important priorities. Current Navy leaders are a key component of the audiences we seek to enlighten. In that regard, we received much positive feedback on our last edition of Pull Together, which opened with a reprint of Dudley Knox’s 1926 “Our Vanishing History and Traditions” article that led to the creation of our organization.

    Operation Paul – the Fleet Air Arm Attack on Luleå in 1940

    Operation Paul – the Fleet Air Arm attack on Luleå in 1940 Föredrag i historiegruppen i september 2017 av Keevin Siegel Had Operation Paul, the Royal Navy’s plan for an attack on Luleå, taken place as it was intended in 1940, it might have brought Sweden into the Second World War against the Allies. Histories The British Naval Staff History Naval Operations of the Campaign in Norway (1946) sets out the aims of the campaign in April to June 1940 as: • stopping the export of Swedish iron ore from Narvik to Germany • denying use of the Norwegian coast to the German navy yet it makes no mention of Operation Paul, the Royal Navy’s plan to attack the port of Luleå in neutral Sweden. The British official history The Campaign in Norway (1952), in discussing the strategic context of the campaign, highlights three concerns: • the perceived dependence of the German war machine on Swedish iron ore; • British uncertainty whether Russia or Germany (who in 1940 were allies) would drive on from their respective advances in Norway and Finland to Luleå; • and doubts about the efficacy of Swedish neutrality makes no mention of Operation Paul. The Campaign in Norway does not mention Operation Paul by name but refers in passing to a plan by Churchill to “bottle up Luleå”. Captain S. W. Roskill’s official history, War At Sea (1960), is silent. The subject is dealt with in passing in Peter C. Smith’s book on the Royal Navy’s first fighter-divebomber, the Sea Skua. The only lengthy treatment of Operation Paul is contained within Thomas Munch- Petersen’s The Strategy of the Phoney War (1981), which is regrettably not well-known in Britain or Sweden.
