#OTD in 1941, 3 sailors met for a drink at a bar in Pearl Harbor. Clifford Olds (right), was on board USS West Virginia when it sank the next morning. When salvage workers found his remains months later, a marked calendar revealed he had lived for 16 days trapped within the ship. pic.twitter.com/kA4PUNXPRw

In 1918, the USS Arizona moves through the East River in New York near the Brooklyn Bridge on her way to sea trials….She’s glorious. 🇺🇸
