The USS Franklin was bombed in March 1945 near Okinawa, Japan with a considerable loss of life. She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, with the loss of over 800 of her crew, becoming the most heavily damaged United States carrier to survive the war. The remaining crew members gained control of the fires and ultimately brought the ship back to the U.S. mainland for repairs, missing the rest of the war; she was decommissioned in 1947.

This is a U.S. government-produced video of how the U.S. tries to defend the World War II internment of Japanese American citizens. Japanese-American internment was the relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of about 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called “War Relocation Camps,” in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. After the war many Japanese went back to their hometowns and to the reality that Americans had taken their land and they could not do anything about it. They had to start over.
