The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a huge tragedy for the United States. The Attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the most devastating attacks in U.S History and one of the most devastating defeats in U.S History. Not only did Japan get triumph from the attack, it would come back to bite them with huge casualties and two of their own bombing tragedy´s at the end of the war. The event soured relations with Japan and forced us to do something we normally wouldn't do that often, use violence to get peace. The attack changed history forever by forcing the U.S into fighting in WW2, it helped shape the modern world to how it is today, and made a lot of nations feel the guilt, reflection, and self-questioning that followed the Second World War. Now today, it has been replaced by resurgent nationalism on both sides of the globe. Before the attack, a war had been going on in Asia and Europe since 1937. Also political events were leading up to the attack. Japan had not always been a threat to other countries. At one time, Japan had mostly closed itself off from the rest of the world. In the 1630s, Japanese Military leaders called shoguns barred almost all foreigners from entering the country.

  • The Starfleet Registry
    THE STARFLEET REGISTRY RESEARCHED AND COMPILED BY JOHN W. BULLERWELL Introduction What you hold is perhaps the most comprehensive listing of the NCC- and NX- Federation Starfleet registration numbers ever created. Unfortunately, as comprehensive as it is, it is also confusing, error filled and riddled with mysteries. These numbers are from the entirety of fandom and canon. If you’re looking for a work of completely canon numbers and nothing else, this is not the document for you. Because the majority of these numbers come from fandom, there are a lot of discrepancies, and a lot of replication. There are numerous considerations I needed to make in compiling the list. For instance, I worked under the assumption that a ship with a lettered suffix (for example NCC-1234-C) is carrying a registry ‘tradition’, like the Enterprise. Therefore, if fandom listed a NCC-XXX-A U.S.S. No Name, I assumed the was a NCC-XXX (no suffix) No Name as well. While this is indeed very unlikely, I included them for the sake of completeness, as the original originator likely intended. Also, spellings in this document are intentional. If a ships name was Merrimac, I did not change it to Merrimack, or vice-versa. Again, it is assumed that the originator of the ship’s name/number intended their spelling to be correct. Some vessels had the same names and numbers, but were listed under two different class names. An example of this would be the Orka-class and the Clarke-class. Both classes had the same ships and numbers.
