USS Arizona (1916)

USS Arizona (BB-39) was een Pennsylvania-Klasse slagschip van de marine van de Verenigde Staten. Het schip was het derde dat naar de 48ste staat werd vernoemd. De USS Arizona is het best bekend door de Japanse aanval op Pearl Harbor op 7 december 1941, de gebeurtenis die de Verenigde Staten betrok bij de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De Arizona werd getroffen door verschillende pantserdoorborende bommen. Eén ervan liet een met explosieven gevuld magazijn ontploffen, waardoor het slagschip zonk en 1.177 officieren en bemanningsleden omkwamen. In tegenstelling tot veel van de andere schepen die die dag werden aangevallen, was de Arizona zo onherstelbaar beschadigd dat het niet werd gerepareerd voor dienst in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het scheepswrak ligt nog steeds op de bodem van Pearl Harbor onder het USS Arizona Memorial, direct ten oosten van Ford Island. De laatste overlevende van de USS Arizona, Lou Conter, overleed in 2024 op 102-jarige leeftijd.

USS Arizona (BB-39)

USS Arizona (BB-39) – amerykański pancernik typu Pennsylvania. Budowę tego okrętu rozpoczęto 16 marca 1914, wodowanie odbyło się w stoczni Brooklyn Navy Yard 19 czerwca 1915 a do służby wszedł 17 października 1916. W sumie zbudowano 2 okręty tego typu, bliźniaczą jednostką był pancernik USS „Pennsylvania”. W latach 1929–1931 przeszedł gruntowną przebudowę. Został zatopiony 7 grudnia 1941, o godzinie 8:10, podczas japońskiego ataku w Pearl Harbor. Jedna z ciężkich bomb o masie 800 kg, zrzuconych podczas ataku z lotu poziomego, po przebiciu pierwszych dwóch lekkich pokładów, eksplodowała w zetknięciu z głównym pokładem pancernym, częściowo go tylko przebijając. Jednak podmuch eksplozji detonował znajdujący się na pokładzie niżej (pokład przeciwodłamkowy) magazyn czarnego prochu, służącego do wystrzeliwania samolotów z katapult okrętowych (którego to magazynu w czasie wojny nie przewidywano w tym miejscu). Fala wybuchu przeniknęła w głąb okrętu poprzez szyby wentylacyjne i otwarte włazy pionowe, docierając do głównego magazynu ładunków miotających pod barbetą wieży numer 2, detonując go. W wyniku eksplozji pancernik uległ całkowitej zagładzie, bardzo szybko osiadając na dnie (w niecałe 9 minut). Wybuch spowodował natychmiastową śmierć ¾ załogi – 1177 osób na pokładzie. Wrak pancernika nie został wydobyty. Pozostałości nadbudowy wystające nad powierzchnię wody zostały usunięte, z wyjątkiem barbety trzeciej wieży artylerii głównej. W 1962 otwarto postawione na wraku w poprzek pięćdziesięciometrowe mauzoleum Pomnik USS Arizona. Galeria Linki zewnętrzne ARIZONA (BB 39) (ang.)

USS Arizona (BB-39)

USS Arizona je bila ameriška bojna ladja iz prve in druge svetovne vojne. Spadala je v razred bojnih ladij Pennsylvania, v katerega je spadala še bojna ladja USS Pennsylvania po kateri je razred tudi dobil ime. Gradnja ladje se je začela 16. marca 1914, splovljena je bila 19. Junija 1915, 17. oktobra 1916 pa predana ameriški vojni mornarici. Med prvo svetovno vojno ladja ni videla nobenih bojev. Uporabljali so jo za treniranje topniških posadk in patruljiranje ob ameriški vzhodni obali. Decembra 1918 je na mirovna pogajanja v Pariz spremljala ameriškega predsednika Wilsona. Nato je iz Francije v ZDA odpeljala 238 ameriških vojakov. Po vojni je opravljala različne patruljne naloge po Karibih in Sredozemskem morju. Ob povratku v ZDA je v ladjedelnici doživela manjše spremembe na oborožitvi, nato pa je 6. januarja 1920 sodelovala na pomorskih manevrih mornarice ZDA v Karibih. Medtem je obiskala še Bridgetown, Barbados, Britansko zahodno Indijo, Colon in Panamo. Maja istega leta se je vrnila v New York, nato pa je opravljala različne naloge v okolici ameriške vzhodne obala. Skozi dvajseta leta je večino časa preživela na patruljah po Karibskem in Atlantskem oceanu. V tridesetih letih pa so jo občasno premestili tudi na Pacifik, kjer je večinoma delovala okoli Havajskega otočja. Medtem je ladja doživela več posodobitev. Dobila je nove motorje debelejši oklep in močnejše protiletalsko topništvo. Usodnega sedmega decembra 1941 je bila ladja zasidrana v ameriškem mornariškem pristanišču Pearl Harbor na Havajih. Ob 8:00 so ladjo napadla prva japonska letala. Prva bomba je zadela topovsko kupolo št. 4 in v podpalubju povzročila manjši požar. Druga bomba je bila za ladjo usodna. Ta je padla med kupoli št. 1 in št. 2, na svoji poti je prebila debel ladijski oklep ter več palub nato pa eksplodirala v skladišču streliva. Nastala je močna eksplozija, ki je sprednji del ladje dobesedno dvignila iz vode, v eksploziji je umrlo 1.177 mornarjev od skupaj 1.400. V napadu je bila ladja nepopravljivo poškodovana zato so jo 29. decembra črtali iz spiska vojnih plovil. Zgornji del ladjo, ki je po potopitvi ostal nad vodo so razrezali in odpeljali kot staro železo, nepoškodovano oborožitev pa so uporabili kot obalno topništvo pri obrambi otoka. Danes razbitine Arizone ležijo tam kjer se je ta potopila, kot spomenik padlim mornarjem v napadu na Pearl Harbor. Leta 1962 je bil čez trup ladje postavljen spomenik tako, da je danes razbitina ladje dostopna vsem obiskovalcem. Zunanje povezave [1] USS Arizona details, position and chart on the wrecksite.

УСС Аризона (BB-39)

УСС Аризона (енгл. USS Arizona) је био ратни брод класе Пенсилванија, који је изграђен за потребе Морнарице САД и поринут 19. јуна 1915. Брод је назван по савезној држави Аризони, и био је други и последњи ратни брод класе Пенсилванија. Иако је био у служби од 1916, брод није учествовао у борбама током Првог светског рата. Непосредно након завршетка рата, Аризона је са још неколико америчких бродова отпратила председника Вудроа Вилсона на Париску мировну конференцију. Брод је затим послат према Турској, где је 1919. на почетку Грчко-турског рата заступао америчке интересе у региону. Неколико година касније, ушао је у састав Пацифичке флоте, где је остао до краја каријере. Аризона је између 1929. и 1931. прошла кроз свеобухватну модернизацију, а у времену између два рата је редовно коришћена за вежбе. Након земљотреса у Лонг Бичу 1933, посада Аризоне је пружила помоћ преживелима. Две године касније, брод је приказан у филму Џејмса Кегнија Here Comes the Navy, који говори о љубавним проблемима једног морнара. У априлу 1940, заједно са остатком Пацифичке флоте, Аризона је пребачена у луку Перл Харбор на Хавајима. Пацифичка флота је требало да буде противтежа јапанском империјализму у региону. Током јапанског напада на Перл Харбор 7. децембра 1941, Аризона је погођена са четири бомбе, након чега је експлодирало складиште муниције на предњем делу брода. Брод је потонуо а погинуло је 1.177 официра и чланова посаде, што је скоро половина од укупног броја погинулих у нападу на Перл Харбор. За разлику од многих других бродова који су оштећени тог дана, Аризона није могла бити спашена, иако је морнарица уклонила неке делове брода за поновну употребу. Олупина Аризоне и даље лежи на дну океана у Перл Харбору. Изнад ње је изграђен Меморијални центар УСС Аризона, који је посвећен свима онима који су погинули током напада.

Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park

The Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park (CORP) is a 269-acre (1.09 km2) public park operated by the City and County of Honolulu. It held its grand opening on July 21, 2001 and it is located in Waipio, Oahu just off the Kamehameha Highway. The Central Oahu Regional Park complex currently includes a 20-court tennis center, which opened in 2003; the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, four youth baseball diamonds, four regulation size baseball diamonds, a four diamond softball complex, as well as other multipurpose fields, and a 20-lane archery range. CORP plays host to many different sporting events including swimming, baseball, soccer, football etc. It is also the home field for the Hawaii Pacific University Sea Warrior baseball team, the Chaminade University Silversword softball team as well as being the home of the 2007 Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) Softball Tournament. The Hanwha Eagles (Korea Baseball Organization) uses the baseball field annually during spring training. The park was renamed after U.S. Representative Patsy Mink in 2007. Historic Kona storms brought heavy rains and flooding to the park and other parts of the state of Hawaii in March 2026. In response, recovery efforts were initiated by the Hawaii Department of Health to sample the soil in the park and test for contamination. Discussing statewide cleanup progress from the storms, Brian Schatz, the senior United States Senator from Hawaii, urged the federal government to "share the burden of rebuilding."

Charles Montague Cooke Jr. House and Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau

Charles Montague Cooke Jr. House and Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau is a property in Honolulu, Hawaii. The house, also known as Kualii (also spelled Kualiʻi), was built in 1911–1912 for Charles Montague Cooke Jr., and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing's boundaries were increased in 2000 to include the Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau (Tax Map Keys 2-9-19:35 and 2-9-19:43, respectively). Building history In 1902, wealthy businessman Charles Montague Cooke (of Castle & Cooke) gave his son Monty (as Charles Montague Cooke Jr. was called) a large tract of land on a high ridge in Mānoa Valley that contained an ancient Hawaiian heiau. That was the year Monty married Lila Lefferts. In 1911, Monty hired two prominent architects, Walter Emory and Marshall Webb, to build a large stone mansion in Tudor style on the hillside above the heiau. The house cost $40,000 and was named for an ancient Hawaiian chief. The basement and ground floor, built of basalt lava rock quarried on site, support two upper floors of half-timber and stucco. At each end of the house is a heavy stone chimney, one rising from the kitchen, the other from the living room. The central entry bay is covered by a porte-cochere with stone columns and a half gabled second floor above it, and flanked by gabled entry bays at each end of the house. Heiau The name of the heiau (temple of ancient Hawaii), Kūkaʻōʻō, is composed of kū 'stand' + ka 'the' + ʻōʻō 'digging stick', and has several possible translations. According to one source, it means 'Kū of the digging stick'. According to another, it means 'standing digging stick', in apparent reference to an old legend about a chief named Kawelo who was said to have thrown a digging stick from the highest mountain at the back of the valley down onto the hill where the heiau stands, known as Puʻu Pueo 'owl hill'. The square-shaped heiau measures about 12 meters across and stands about 6 meters above the flat, rocky clearing on which it stands. The late Bernice P. Bishop Museum anthropologist Kenneth Emory estimated the heiau to be 1,000 years old. Its gardens used to help sustain the population of the ahupuaʻa of Waikiki. In 1992, the current owners, Samuel Alexander Cooke (born 1937, grandson of Charles Montague Cooke Jr.) and Mary Cooke, purchased the land and commissioned preservationist Nathan Napoka to reconstruct the walls of the old heiau, which had been badly overgrown. Stonemason Billy Fields relied on survey drawings from the 1930s to rebuild the walls, using only rocks found on-site. In 1996, the Mānoa Heritage Center was established to manage the site and offer educational tours. Gallery References External links
Church of the Crossroads

The Church of the Crossroads building at 1212 University Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii was designed in 1935 by architect Claude A. Stiehl, who combined features of Asian, European, and Hawaiian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. History The buildings on the attractively landscaped 2.25-acre (9,100 m2) lot are built of wood, stucco, and stone with decorative elements. The interior courtyard is surrounded by covered walkways that connect the main sanctuary with offices, meeting halls, and a small seminar room. The red columns throughout the complex were inspired by the Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China. At the raised front end of the classic, cross-shaped nave are an altar of Philippine mahogany and four wood carvings with symbols of Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism. The eclectic architecture of the church buildings well reflect the varied ethnicity of the congregation, whose founders in 1923 formed the first racially mixed Protestant congregation in the Territory of Hawaii. Its charter members were students from a parochial school, Mid-Pacific Institute, which was founded to Americanize and evangelize local-born children, and from a public school, President William McKinley High School, where two-thirds of the students in 1930 were Japanese Americans. Among its first leaders were a handful of White American educational evangelists with strong ties to Asia and Hawaii. Its first pastor (1923–1946) was Galen R. Weaver, a graduate of Ohio State University and Union Theological Seminary in New York who had originally planned to become a missionary in China. After meeting during its early years at Mission Memorial Hall, across the street from the Kawaiahao Church and Mission Houses (but later taken over by the City), the congregation began raising funds and looking for its own site. By 1929, the membership of 174 included 64 of Japanese descent, 63 of Chinese, and 47 of other local ethnicities. Few were over 30 years old, but they managed to buy and improve a parcel of land on University Avenue, within walking distance of Mid-Pacific Institute, for $20,000. By the time the building was finished, the project cost almost $50,000, $40,000 of which came from major local benefactors. It was dedicated in December 1935.

Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus (Honolulu)

The Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus is a co-cathedral of the Roman Catholic Church and its Diocese of Honolulu, located in Kalihi-Palama in the outskirts of downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. The principal cathedral of the diocese remains the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace. It was named in honor of the Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus. The original church was established in 1931 by Msgr. Stephen Alencastre, Vicar Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands. Construction was completed only a year later, in September 1932. Reflecting the growth of Catholicism in the immediate community, then pastor and diocesan vicar general Msgr. Benedict Vierra led a major fundraising effort to replace the church's wooden structure, showing signs of deterioration in 1956. Vierra's efforts were successful and the renovated church was dedicated on August 15, 1963. Having found a need to have a larger space for pontifical liturgies - since the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace had become too small to accommodate the increased population since the vicariate apostolic was elevated to a diocese - Bishop Joseph Ferrario petitioned Pope John Paul II in 1984 to elevate Saint Theresa church to the dignity of a co-cathedral, as it is larger in physical size. A papal decree elevating Saint Theresa Catholic Church to co-cathedral was issued and the church was consecrated on July 28, 1985. Its interior was reconfigured and a second cathedra for the bishop was placed in the church. The Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus is most often used for pontifical liturgies such as the annual Mass of the Chrism during which the holy oils (oil of the sick, oil of catechumens, and the holy Chrism) used in several of the sacraments are consecrated by the bishop before being distributed to the parishes of the diocese. Ordinations and episcopal installations are sometimes celebrated at the co-cathedral.

Concatedral de Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús

La concatedral de Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús (en inglés: Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus) es la concatedral de la diócesis de Honolulu. La concatedral está localizada en el centro de Honolulu, Hawái. La catedral es más grande en tamaño que la principal Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Fue nombrada en honor de Santa Teresa de Lisieux. La parroquia original fue establecida en 1931 por Stephen Alencastre, vicario apostólico de las Islas de Hawái. Su construcción no terminó hasta un año después, en septiembre de 1932. Reflejo del crecimiento del catolicismo en la inmediata comunidad, el entonces párroco y vicario general de la diócesis, monseñor Benedict Vierra llevó un gran esfuerzo de recaudación de fondos para reemplazar la edificación de madera de la iglesia, que mostraba signos de deterioro en 1956. Los esfuerzos de Vierra tuvieron éxito y la iglesia reformada fue dedicado el 15 de agosto de 1963.

Coconut Island (Hawaii)

Coconut Island (auch Moku o Loʻe) ist eine 113.000 m² große Insel in der Kāneʻohe-Bucht vor Oʻahu im US-Bundesstaat Hawaii. Sie beherbergt die Meeresforschungsanstalt Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology. Namensherkunft Der englische Name leitet sich von dem Palmenbestand ab, den die ursprüngliche Besitzerin, Prinzessin Bernice Pauahi Bishop, auf der Insel angepflanzt hatte, während sich die hawaiische Bezeichnung auf Loʻe, den Namen einer Frau bezieht, die der Legende nach dort gelebt hat. Geschichte Vor 1930 wurde die damals 4,86 ha große Insel von Schafhirten und Fischern genutzt, bis sie von Christian Holmes, einem Konservenfabrikbesitzer, für sein Unternehmen gekauft wurde. Er vergrößerte die Fläche auf 11,33 ha mit Sand von der Sandbank in der Kāneʻohe-Bucht und legte zahlreiche Fischteiche an. Er importiert Hunderte von exotischen Pflanzen und Bäumen und baute sich einen Meerwasserpool, da er die Insel auch privat nutzen wollte. Zusätzlich legte er sich einen kleinen Privatzoo an, der später die Basis für den Honolulu Zoo bildete. Nach Holmes Tod 1944 errichtete die Marine Corps Base Hawaii auf der Insel Quartiere für ihre Offiziere. 1947 wurde sie von Edwin Pauley, einem Industriellen aus dem Erdölgeschäft und weiteren Partnern für 250.000 US-Dollar erworben und in ein Luxusresort umgebaut. Zu den Besuchern gehörten u. a. Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Red Skelton, Richard Nixon und Ronald Reagan. 1951 übernahm Pauley allein die Insel und verpachtete einen Teil kostenlos an Hawaii. Er half bei der Gründung des Hawaiʻi Marine Lab mit einer Spende von 300.000 US-Dollar. 1965 wurde es in Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology umbenannt. Im gleichen Jahr bemerkte die Steuerbehörde, dass Pauley seine Grundsteuer nur für die ursprüngliche Größe der Insel von 4,86 ha bezahlt hatte. Nach einem Gerichtsverfahren wurde er der hinzugewonnenen Landfläche enteignet. Der Pauley verbliebene Teil der Insel wurde 1987 von einem japanischen Investor für 8,5 Millionen US-Dollar gekauft, bis er wiederum 1995 von der University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa mit einer Spende von Pauleys Witwe erworben wurde. Bekannt wurde Coconut Island durch die 1960er-Fernsehserie Gilligans Insel, deren Eröffnungsszene dort gedreht wurde. Einmal im Monat jeweils sonntags werden Führungen für die Allgemeinheit durchgeführt. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
