Pearl Harbor On Oahu Island

wwworld • 3 minutes read • October 31st, 2016

Pearl Harbor 

is another point of interest in Oahu. This harbor is on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Much of the harbor and the surrounding area is occupied by the central base of the Pacific Fleet naval forces of the United States. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, which led the US entering World War II.
At best, you must spend at least one day to visit Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time, so I just inspected the "

Bowfin

" submarine and the "

Missouri

" battleship. The "Bowfin" submarine was open to the public, so anyone could climb aboard and see it both from the outside and inside.

And this is where the Act of Japan's surrender was signed, on September 2, 1945 in Tokyo Bay.

In the 90s, she took part in the US military operations in Iraq, where she returned and stood in her eternal spot in Pearl Harbor.
