“On Eternal Patrol - USS Triton (SS-210)” Eighty Years Ago, Today – (Monday) March 15th, 1943 – In the Pacific, the American submarine USS Triton (SS-210, Tambor-Class) is on her 6th War Patrol in the northern Solomon Islands archipelago. In service since 1940, she’s a great boat with a good crew. Since the war started, she’s served from Alaska to the coasts of China and Japan through to the South Pacific. Thus far, she’s accounted for no less than 16 Japanese ships sunk, totaling some 64,600 tons, and damaged another four. On March 13th, she’s alerted that threw Japanese destroyers are in her area. On the 15th, they find Triton, attack with depth charges… and sink her. Oil slicks, cork, and debris with American markings float to the surface. The attack is heard by the nearby American submarine USS Trigger (SS-237, Gato-Class). Triton was lost with All Hands. Her entire crew – 74 Officers and Men – remain entombed in her hull on the floor of the Pacific. The Boat, and her men, remain On Eternal Patrol. Today, we offer our deepest reverence to the US Navy Sailors and the USS Triton who we lost eighty years ago, today.

On #December 7th, 1941, it was a peaceful Sunday, the United States #Pacific #fleet was at rest... . All was peaceful and quiet until about 7:45am when the drone of #planes could be heard growing ever louder. Many eyes were cast skyward, but the buzz of so many aircraft didn't alert the personnel on the ground, just caused most to question "Why the hell is the army flying drills on a Sunday???" . Within minutes, however, all hell broke loose... Japanese bomber planes flew in towards the airfields of Ford Island, Hickam, Wheeler, and Bellows field. Army Planes, lined up for protection against sabotage, were like ducks in a shooting gallery. . Planes swooped low over battleship row, and a thousand eyes looked on in disbelief as torpedo after torpedo were let loose into the shallow harbor water. Within minutes the #battleship #Oklahoma and #Tennessee were bracketed by several bombs and torpedoes. With the Oklahoma rolling upside-down following almost a dozen torpedo hits.....trapping hundreds of sailors inside. . The greatest death blow came to the U.S.S. Arizona, the flagship of the #Unitedstates #Pacificfleet. Almost immediately following the bombing, Arizona rang General Quarters and the crew snapped into action. A bomb hit near the stern which caused minor damage, however, the death blow, came from high above... At 8:06am, a bomber let lose a bomb, made from a converted battleship shell, which landed directly onto the Arizona forward deck and penetrated into the magazine where all the shells, tnt, and gunpowder were stored. . The #Arizona heeled her back, the bow rose up out of the water, the deck hinged, men's eyes widened in horror, and all in a single instant.... the U.S.S. Arizona was blown in half by a terrific explosion which shattered windows nearby and brought the entire attack to a momentary, shocking, halt. As she settled into the bottom mud of Pearl Harbor she took with her 1,177 men to the bottom... Most of whom still remain trapped within the ship to this very day. . The #Attack on #Pearlharbor ceased sometime after 9am and cost the lives of 2,400 #soldiers, #sailors, and #marines on this "THE DAY THAT SHALL LIVE IN INFAMY" . Eighty years ago.

East Asia 76 years ago today: Battle of Midway (07 Jun 1942) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19420607/ Both the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of the Coral Sea emphasized the threat US air power still posed to Japan. To deny the US its air bases and draw out its outnumbered navy, the Japanese overran central China, invaded the Aleutian Islands and launched an attack on Midway Island. Unfortunately for the Japanese, the Americans had cracked their codes, and it was the smaller US fleet that prevailed at Midway, sinking Japan's aircraft carrier force. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1942 #aleutianislands #asiapacificwar #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #japan #japanesehistory #june #june7 #kiska #maps #secondsinojapanesewar #unitedstates #worldwarii #map #war #worldwar2 #ww2 #pacificwar #midway #usn #usnavy #navy #pacificfleet #aircraftcarrier #carrier (at North Midway Island)

February 2021 | It’s not the biggest Navy in the world, but they do know how to do a send off. The HMCS Calgary sails by the South Island and Victoria Harbour on her way to the open ocean and a six month deployment to Asia and the Middle East. The wind storm and the Merlin doing orbits overhead were the icing on the cake. #Victoria #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #CanadianNavy #HMCSCalgary #Pacificfleet #StraitofGeorgia #200to500ofzoomiegoodness #CapitalDailyphotos @hmcs_calgary @royalcannavy @canadianforces (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3QLAEga5u/?igshid=xffa306sukz3

Yesterday August 15, 1945 marked Victory over Japan Day. Japan and the world are very different places today thanks to American & Allied Troops who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting us from torture, extermination, and tyranny. #thankavet #combatvets #WWII #neverforget #VJDay #heroeswearcamo #mcarthur #islandhopping #warcrimes #korean #china #nanking #leyte #bataan #bataandeathmarch #7thfleet #shigimetsusigns #tojohadtogo #pacificfleet (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PEwvvhkkMvOcAYcaPkY5dpzYbyWJYgN89Y4Y0/?igshid=1l6cpbdk44hnu

“On Eternal Patrol - USS Grampus (SS-207)” Eighty Years Ago, Today – (Friday) March 5th, 1943 – In the Pacific, the American submarine USS Grampus (SS-207, Tambor-Class) is on patrol somewhere in vicinity of the New Georgia Islands group on the western side of the Solomon Islands archipelago. Inexplicably, she vanishes without a trace. The most plausible explanation is an attack from the Japanese Navy. A pair of Japanetwrbakese destroyers, the “Minegumo”and the “Murasame” reported an attack near Kolombangara island, which resulted with an oil slick. This could have been the end of Grampus, but both ships were sunk by US Navy cruisers the following day (we’ll cover that tomorrow), leading to a loss of the ships’ logs and records. We’ll never know for sure, as Grampus’ wreck has never been found. Grampus was lost with All Hands. Her entire crew – 71 Officers and Men – remain entombed in her hull on the floor of the Pacific. The Boat, and her men, remain On Eternal Patrol. Today, we offer our deepest reverence to the US Navy Sailors and the USS Grampus who we lost eighty years ago, today.

The USS Torsk a Gato class submarine built at the end of WWII by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. She served in the Pacific against the Japanese fleet. She made quite the formidable foe with ten torpedo tubes. @historicshipsinbaltimore @maryland.state @stateofmaryland @visitmaryland #historicships #historicshipsbaltimore #historicshipsbmore #usstorsk #tenchclass #gatoclass #submarine #usnavy #usn #portsmouthnavalshipyard #baltimore #baltimoreharbor #baltimoremd #baltimoremaryland #maryland #museumship #museumships #wwii #wwiisubmarine #submarines #pacificfleet (at USS Torsk (SS-423)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6-1IFg2fk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ushte7qcw7d3
