I found an old box with a lot of black/white pictures that my father had when he was in the Navy back in the early 40's.  Many of the pictures I found were before the attack on Pearl Harbor.  There was a picture of the Pacific Fleet, several single pictures of the battleships, one of the U.S.S. Arizona and others.  He was stationed on the U.S.S. New Mexico and there were several pictures of her.  The last ship he was stationed on was the U.S.S. Leadstown (a converted ship) used for a troop transport.  The Leadstown was sunk off the coast of North Africa.  My father survived the attack and was washed ashore where he was found and carried to receive medical attention.  I hope to have some of the pictures posted before too long..
