  • The USS Arizona Memorial
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial (National Park Service Photo by Jayme Pastoric) Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor." More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year. They file quietly through the building and toss flower wreaths and leis into the water. They watch the iridescent slick of oil that still leaks, a drop at a time, from ruptured bunkers after more than 50 years at the bottom of the sea, and they read the names of the dead carved in marble on the Memorial's walls.

BUTLER Quartermaster and Aerial Navigator, Navy, Career (World War II and Korean War) 2002 OH 176 1 OH 176 Butler, Thomas S. , (1921-2003). Oral History Interview, 2002. User copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Video Recording: 1 videorecording (ca. 45 min.); ½ inch, color. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Thomas S. Butler, an Oneida, Tennessee native, discusses his career service in the Navy, including service aboard the USS Tennessee , the attack on Pearl Harbor, service aboard a minesweeper during World War II, work as an aerial navigator, service in the Korean War, and his retirement from the Navy. He discusses the death of his father when he was a teenager and, in 1938, enlisting in the Navy so he would not be a financial burden on his family. He recalls his starting salary was twenty-one dollars a month. After basic training in Norfolk (Virginia), he describes his assignment to the battleship USS Tennessee (BB-43) in Seattle (Washington).

  • The Guns of August and the 1914 European Cruise of USS Tennessee (ACR-10)
    The Guns of August and the 1914 European Cruise of USS Tennessee (ACR-10) Andrew C. A. Jampoler USS Memphis (CA-10) In 1966 Captain Edward Beach Junior, US Navy, wrote The Wreck of the Memphis, a book published first by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, and then republished in 1998 by the Naval Institute Press as part of its “Classics of Naval Literature” series. The reprint’s introduction by the author marked the eighty-first anniversary of the loss of the armored cruiser USS Memphis mid-afternoon Tuesday, August 29, 1916, on the south side of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. She was pushed on shore at Santo Domingo by great waves and quickly battered to death on a rock ledge there, a fate narrowly escaped by USS Castine, a small gunboat anchored in the same roadstead when the terrible seas—the product of a distant hurricane or a submarine earthquake; it’s still not agreed which—hit. When she died, Memphis was under the command of Captain Edward Beach, USN, the father of the author (who was born two years after the wreck). The idea that a tsunami killed Memphis was congenial to young Beach; it made his father the victim of an unforeseeable act of God, rather than guilty of a fatal lapse in readiness for sea that cost Beach Sr. his ship. Hispaniola lies atop one fault and very near the intersection of two tectonic plates. It’s in a high risk earthquake and tsunami area; however, there’s no other evidence of a Caribbean earthquake that day and the source of the surge remains controversial.
