This is a story few Americans have ever heard.
We consider this a travesty, for it is America’s history, a story of adventure, tragedy, unbelievable professional skill, and undying dedication to a cause.
The story of how America’s crack engineers and divers not only rescued many of the American sailors trapped within the navy ships sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but also how nearly every one of the 18 sunk and bomb-damaged warships were repaired, floated, then recommissioned and upgraded to get back in the fight.
In fact, many of these same warships, once resurrected and modernized, were sent back in the fight against the Japanese Navy, culminating in the major naval battle of Leyte Gulf on October 22, 1944.
On that day, the passionately undeterred US Navy attacked and sent to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean what remained of the Japanese Navy. The Pearl Harbor disaster, for most Americans, required a reckoning.
These skilled naval engineers and divers, at great risk to their own lives, determined that those same ships Japan had brutally destroyed would return and lead the way in the ultimate defeat of the Japanese Empire. And that’s exactly what happened!
I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.
