The Old Coot

I have many interests, so this is going to be a blog on lots of subjects. Submarines, my family, history, books I read, the space programme, archaeology, astronomy, current events, the occasional joke.... Just don't expect any politics, sports or deep philosophy, and we should get along fine.

Pearl Harbor - 65 years later


Sixty-five years ago today

Pearl Harbor raid, 7 December 1941

Dec 7, 1941
Much worse
Even more


0755AM, December 7, 1941.

A day that will live in infamy

Day of infamy

A date which will live in infamy...
