[Leica] Pearl Harbour Photographs

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Whatever the origin of the pictures, they do illustrate the terrifying 
effects of a major attack.  I haven't read much about the history of the 
Pacific war, but that attack must have really hurt the US's capability 
to wage war for quite some considerable time.  How long did it take to 
rebuild those ships and train replacement sailors and marines?
