A few additional notes of historical interest: The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 Americans and wounded 1,178 more. Chester Nimitz was actually promoted to Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet just days after the attack, on December 31, 1941. He also had a highway named after him on the Island of Oahu. The Manhattan Project was a massive undertaking spanning multiple sites, with the Trinity test of the first atomic device taking place near Alamogordo, New Mexico in July 1945. The surrender ceremony aboard USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945 formally ended the deadliest conflict in human history up to that time.
