#2 I saw this wreckage on a National Geographic special the other night. If they plan on doing anything with it they better hustle it up as it's rusting away and falling apart.
It was powerful enough just seeing it on TV. I can only what it's like to see it for real.

#4 ...What is kind of interesting is that until the early 90s the USN denied any of that material was even there, though there were some excellent pictures of it available. Now questions are being asked about any remains from the battleships Oklahoma, West Virginia, California and Utah, all of which were sunk at Pearl and had large chunks removed to facilitate salvage efforts.

#5 Stupidity, shame and asscovering will fill this bill. No conspiracy needed.

#6 Here on Guam, I think it would be great iff the local National Park Service - WAR IN THE PACIFIC NATIONAL PARK would create replicas of ships based on Guam before WW2, or present on Guam on December 8-10, 1941 during the post-Pearl Japanese attack on Guam, and to include WW1. *E.g. USS PENGUIN gunboat, USS SUPPLY, USS YOSEMITE, German ship CORMORAN/KORMORAN [WW1]. Pehaps even models of Guam's pre-war OROTE PENINSULA including the CLIPPER LANDING + PAN AMERICAN HOTEL, + NAME OF LOCALS WHOM WERE ON WAKE, MIDWAY, etc. AIR REPLICAS/ORIGINALS? > include US-Japn. fighter-attack and ideally a B29.

Iff I were working for the Guam NPS. I would be recomm these + related/other to my higher-ups becuz Guam's younger generations need to know what their elders went thru - moreso iff Guam hopes to attract more tourism.
