HMS Hood, with a full load displacement of approximatley 46,000tons, was the largest Royal Navy ship sunk during WWII.  She was sunk during the Battle of the Denmark Staits when engaging the German battleship Bismarck and cruiser Prince Eugen.  There's some debate as to which ship sank her, but most evidence suggests that the fifth salvo from the Bismarck was the culprit.

Oh my god, it totally slipped my mind how Iraq bombed Pearl Harbor!  They probably sank the Maine in San Juan harbor, too.

According to the USN website the 'carriers' you claim to have seen would have been:\n\n# 4 "USS Ranger" (CV 4) 4 Jun 1934 /18 Oct 1946 - Sold for scrap 31 Jan 1947 to Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. \nAND\n# 6 "USS Enterprise" (CV 6) 12 May 1938 /17 Feb 1947 Sold, 1 Jul 1958. \n\nNow these WERE Aircraft Carriers.  However, they were a LOT SMALLER than to-day's 'Flat-tops'.  But then neither of them have been around, lately.  \n\nYou don't say WHEN YOU SAW them, so ..... the question is: "How long ago did you see them?"\n\nIf you saw these ships, recently, they could well have been  Amphibious Assault Ships - LHA/LHD/LHA(R).\n\nTheses are the largest of all amphibious warfare ships; and they resemble a small aircraft carrier.  They are capable of Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing (V/STOL), Short Take Off Vertical Landing (STOVL), Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) tiltrotor and Rotary Wing (RW) aircraft operations; contains a welldeck to support use of Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) and other watercraft.\n\nThey would, typically, carry:\nAircraft: 12 CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters; 4 CH-53E Sea Stallion helicopters; 6 AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft; 3 UH-1N Huey helicopters; 4 AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters. (planned capability to embark MV-22 Osprey VTOL tiltrotors).\n\nThe only TWO that fit your description/numbering are the "Wasp Class" LHD's:\n\nUSS Boxer (LHD 4), San Diego, CA\nUSS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6), San Diego, CA\n\nHowever, both these are normally home-based (as seen above) in San Diego - so it's unlikely, but not impossible, they would have been off the Norfolk coast.  Alternatively, you may have seen:\n\nUSS Nassau (LHA 4), Norfolk, VA\n\nAs you can see she is also numbered '4' - but there are only five in her class (Tarawa Class).\n\nThere is also the LPD's - which have a 'normal' front-end, with a large flight deck - at the rear.  However there is no #6, but there is a #4. USS Austin (LPD 4), Norfolk, VA - and, as you can see her home-port is Norfolk.\n\nFor any additional information - and data on these - suggest you visit: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/our_ships.asp

The USS Arizona Memorial, located at Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i, marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors killed on the USS Arizona during the Attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 by Japanese imperial forces and also the events of this day. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the action that forced United States involvement in World War II.

we dropped lots and lots and lots of bombs on japan, too many to count or even name each one...so i take you are talking about the atomic ones named: fatman and little boy\n\nLittle Boy was dropped from a B-29 bomber piloted by U.S. Army Air Force Col. Paul W. Tibbets. Tibbets had named the plane Enola Gay after his mother the night before the atomic attack.\n\nMajor Charles W. Sweeney piloted the B-29, #77 that dropped Fat Man. After the nuclear mission, #77 was christened Bockscar after its regular Command Pilot, Fred Bock.\n\non an ineresting note, one reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were picked as locations was due in large part to the fact that we had already destroyed much of every other city through fire-bombing.

USS Embattle, a 650-ton Admirable class minesweeper, was built at Lorain, Ohio. Commissioned in April 1945, she was headed for the Western Pacific when Japan agreed to surrender in August of that year. During late 1945 and early 1946 she was employed in postwar mine clearance operations in the Ryukyu Islands and off Japan. USS Embattle decommissioned at Shanghai, China, in late May 1946 and was transferred to China. She subsequently had over four decades' service in the Republic of China's Navy and Customs Service, under the name Hung Hsing (sometimes transliterated as Yung Hsing).\n\nUnfortunately, since your certain ship served for so little time in the US Navy, very little information is available.

Site 1: Center for Research\nAllied POWS Under the Japanese\nNo direct finding for Otsu, but it is very detailed and lists all camp.\n\nSite 2: a referenc to "Otsu on the outskirts of Kyoto"\n\nSite 3; reference "B Company of the 35th Regiment, 25th Infantry Division stationed at Camp Otsu, Japan."\n\nSite 4: reference "While the Tassafaronga landing is uneventful, the Koli landing is not. As the Otsu Detachment's boats move inshore"\n\nHope this helps in trying to locate it.

A decision was made to end the war. It had been going on since Dec. 7, 1941. Remember? Maybe you don't know. The Japanese launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor..dropping the atomic bomb saved coutless thousands of American and Allied lives. The war in the Pacific could gone on and on. When did Chuck Norris say that? \nWhy don't you go to a library and look up the history of WWII?\nYes, BOOKS.\nPayback is hell. Ask the 1,300 navy men entombed in the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor.
