Nearly 250.0000 men, women and children, mostly civilians, died as a result of the 2 atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The attack on pearl harbor killed 2500, 68 of whom were civilians. Each and every one of those soles lost should be mourned equally.

Was West Vriginia a battleship?

At the time, all ships named after states were battleships. Current ships with state names are submarines.

The captain of USS West Virginia was Mervyn Bennion. He was mortally wounded (hit in the stomach by shrapnel and had to hold his guts in to keep them from falling out), but he refused to leave the bridge, continuing to direct the ship’s defense. Received the Medal of Honor.
