An interesting collection of photos posted on the Atlantic website: http://www.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/wwi/wwisea/

Number 19, showing several sailers lowering themselves into the sea past the screws of their sinking ship, has some pucker-factor to it. I wonder if the sailers in the photo were ever identified (or survived)?

Great pics. I like the one re: USS North Carolina and the aircraft launch. Never knew that.

Terrific collection of WWII D-Day photographs allowing the viewer to "toggle" between the original images and the same locations as they exist today: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2014/06/scenes-from-d-day-then-and-now/100752/
