In the Austrlian War Memorial in Canberra, ACT there is a white shirt endorsed with the names of allied servicemen that had been imprisoned by the Japanese. Many signatures are from the survivors of the Perth and Houston.

scbelle119 - The Captains name for USS Houston on this night was not "Brooks"... it was Albert H. ROOKS... seems you either forgot his name, or you are not telling the whole truth...

"For action in the Battle of Sunda Strait. Sunk in action with HMAS Perth against incredible odds. The two ships steamed into a Japanese invasion force and were sunk in the ensuing battle."

God bless American long live the Honor and Valor of thoughs from December 7th, 1941. It was a long day. Long live the men who fought with pure valor for their nations on March 1st, 1942. Both Austrailians and American brothers in arms.

God I love these ships. I realy wish Japan did not do such a cruel and imoral thing such as Pearl Harbor nor the Unit 731. They were truley destroying their culter ruining themselves for this mad man as emperor. They were like animals killing people for no reason... I realy feel pity for thoughs who died at pearl. They should be ashamed of themselves. 3000 American lives had been lost 3 battleships died and nearly over 400 aircraft were strafed by the A6m Mitsubichi Zero or Zeke.

The 85 days after Pearl Harbour and this event were a disgrace. A total shambles. no one can be proud of what happened. Everyone was passing the buck while many perished.
