Album Info:

"The Ehime Maru and USS Greeneville collision was a ship collision between the United States Navy (USN) submarine USS Greeneville (SSN-772) and the Japanese fishing training ship Ehime Maru (えひめ丸) on 9 February 2001, about 9 nautical miles (17 km) off the south coast of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. In a demonstration for some civilian visitors, Greeneville performed an emergency surfacing maneuver. As the submarine surfaced, it struck Ehime Maru, a high school fishing training ship from Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Within minutes of the collision, Ehime Maru sank. Nine of its crewmembers were killed, including four high school students." ~ Wikipedia

    • I'm so glad there's a memorial for this. The incident has always made me sad and angry. Thank you for sharing! I will take this opportunity, also, to thank you for this album. It is really well done, and your commentaries help me understand Hawaii much better. Just call me "Information Junkie"! :)
