On Monday 7th January we flew to Honolulu for a day visiting Pearl Harbour. I was amazed at how small Pearl Harbour was and it was no wonder the American Fleet was almost destroyed as they were all moored far too close together in shallow water. Compared with Scapa Flow in Orkney Pearl Harbour is just a pond. We also visited a submarine moored in the harbour and took a trip to the sunken Battleship Arizona which is a war grave and a memorial to all who died in the attack on 7th December 1941
