Having grown up in Hawai`i and seeing Pearl Harbor almost everyday is truly amazing. I have had the fortunate privlage of going on the USS Bowfin before it was stripped of all it's sensitive gear and put on display.
Even though I was in High School in the late 80's, some of the exterior glass windows were still painted dark brown/black because during that time, they painted much of the glass so there was less light at night.
It's something we will always remember and honor!
