Subject: Lesson Not Learned

I just asked my (Japanese) wife if she remembered Pearl Harbor--knowing full well she did because she was 14 at the time. She said "Yes," then I said "Then you also remember that the U.S. had all its battleships neatly lined for the attack." She said she knew that also. Then I showed her this picture. She was shocked! (PS, so am I!).

The picture is of five nuclear carriers on February 8, 2013. Lined-up much like Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. Shown here are five nuclear carriers in harbor for "routine" inspections. - USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) are all in port at Naval Station Norfolk, VA., the world's largest naval station.

Sources stated that this breached a long standing military protocol in the Navy meant to avoid massive enemy strike on major US forces. (U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Ryan J. Courtade/Released)
