I first visited this wonderful museum in 2008, and much has changed. I don't think many of the changes are for the better, but then again they didn't ask me. But it is still well worth a visit.
One artifact I saw then is no longer on display, or I missed it. It was a letter written by an 18 year old sailor who did not survive the war. Writing to his sister, he told her he enoyed the Navy, and seen some intresting things, and noted that "action" was expected at any time. He was a crew member of the USS Arizona. His letter was postmarked December 6, 1941.
