[Milsurplus] Speaking of Pearl Harbor

[Steve Hilsz]

Hue Miller's post about Pearl Harbor reminded me about my "mini-adventure"
last Friday. I was able to go aboard the USS Hoga YT-146 in dry-dock at Mare
Island Shipyard in northern California. The Hoga served valiantly during the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and for days afterward. She is being prepped
for towing to Arkansas where she will be refurbished and kept as a museum
vessel. As the pilot house was boarded up, I couldn't tell what radio
equipment she had. You can read about the exploits of the Hoga here:
