The United States became belligerent in WWII after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on the "Day of Infamy", December 7, 1941, when a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base destroyed the battleships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The destruction of the battleship USS Arizona (BB-39) by an aerial bomb has become the singular symbol of America's entry into Second World War.
Presented in this grouping are flags and artifacts relating to the U.S.M.C, the U.S. Navy's Construction Battalions or Sea-Bees as well as other flags and ephemera that articulate the story of the U.S. Navy in WWII..
