Default An interesting web site, USS Washington
I have found this site very interesting. Its unifying theme is the USS Washington. It is from an American point of view, but includes all nations. It is a day by day history of World War II. Unfortunately the author has not extended it in a year or so, and so it stops long before the war is concluded.

Check it out, it is good. The main site, <http://USSwashington.com> has some interesting photos of her including some at Scappa flow with RN ships and of the Royal inspection.
