Here you go.  The Reuben James.\n\nIn October 31, 1941, a little more than a month before the United States entered the Second World War, USS Reuben James (DD 245) was escorting a convoy about 600 miles west of Ireland. With 44 merchantmen in the convoy, Reuben James, along with the destroyers Tarbell (DD 142), Benson (DD 421), Hilary P. Jones (DD 427) and Niblack (DD 424), was holding an average speed just under nine knots. It was 5:39 a.m. and Reuben James was 2,000 yards off the convoy's port flank. Without warning, a torpedo struck Reuben James, tearing her in two.\n\nThe bow section sank immediately and the stern went up in a tremendous explosion. Within minutes, there was nothing left of Reuben James. Only 45 of the 160 man crew survived, and Reuben James became the first destroyer casualty of World War II.\n\nTake a look at the link below.  For extra points, it is worth ready about the Greer and the Kearny.  Those two destroyer captains each had a "rabbit's foot" in their pocket.

Hope the following helps!\n\nVOLENDAM 1922 \nwas built by Harland & Wolff, Glasgow (engines by Harland & Wolff, Belfast) in 1922. She was a 15,434 gross ton ship, overall length 575ft x beam 67.3ft, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 15 knots. There was passenger accommodation for 263-1st, 436-2nd and 1,200-3rd class. Purchased by Holland America Line while under construction, she was launched on 6th July 1922 after attempts on 23rd and 24th June had failed. Her maiden voyage started on 4th Nov.1922 when she sailed from Rotterdam for New York. In May 1926 she was refitted to carry 1st, 2nd, tourist and 3rd class passengers, April 1930 to 1st, tourist and 3rd class and Feb.1936 to cabin, tourist and 3rd class. Her last Rotterdam - New York voyage commenced 5th Apr.1940 and on 30th Aug.1940 she was torpedoed by a German submarine 200 miles from Bloody Foreland when carrying child evacuees to Canada. Beached on the Isle of Bute, she was repaired and in July 1941 became a troopship. Returned to Rotterdam in July 1945, she was partly reconditioned and in 1946 carried Dutch troops to Indonesia. In 1947 she was used in the Australia emigrant service and in June 1948 made her first Rotterdam - Quebec sailing for the Netherlands government with capacity for 1,500 single class passengers. In Sep.1948 she started her first Rotterdam - New York sailing and commenced her last voyage on this route in Feb.1951. In Oct.1951 she made her last Rotterdam - Quebec - Rotterdam voyage and in 1952 was scrapped at Hendrik Ido Ambacht. [North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.Bonsor, vol.3,p.914]

Isn"t that when germany was attacking them? I have friends in England, she's english, he's polish and it was in that time period that he came as a tank driver from poland  to england to help defend from the germans, and that's when they met and fell in love & got married.  He told me the germans were trying to blow up the old historic sites in particular. Sorry, that's all I know, which isn't much.

Try as I might, I was unable to locate very many actual pictures, though there is much reference to this obviously important WWII facility.\n\nMy suggestion is to contact some of the people whose email addresses appear at:\nhttp://www.wingsoverkansas.com/about/contributors.asp\n\nWings Over Kansas seems to have a lot of information about the entire pre - post war efforts in Wichita, and by personally contacting some of the historians and contributors, you could very well glean more information from them than is readily available on the web.\n\nGood luck with your search.  If I run across more, I will post it here.

Most military museums hold this type of information.  You could try the following:\nwww.winchestermilitarymuseums.co.uk\nI found them to be very useful when I needed information on the second world war for my son's homework.  If they can't help you they should be able to point you in the right direction.
