The attack on Pearl Harbor was a pivotal moment that drew the U.S. into World War II, sinking many vessels but leaving the USS Nevada relatively unscathed initially. Recently, NOAA researchers discovered a soldier's boot on the sunken ship, illustrating the personal effects of Navy members during battle. Additionally, the identification of U.S. Navy Mess Attendant Neil D. Frye's remains underscores the war's human cost. As part of honoring those lost, the production of various military ships during the war reflects the Navy's expansion and increased power during that era.
The discovery of a soldier’s boot aboard the sunken USS Nevada offers a glimpse of the personal items Navy personnel carried in wartime.
