Feb 19, 1942: the Clemson-class destroyer USS Peary (DD-226) named after Robert Edwin Peary was sunk by an intense Japanese air attack at Darwin, Australia. A nearby seaman in the British Merchant Service reported witnessing a U.S. sailor perform one of the bravest acts that he had seen or read in all his life.

In July 2020 a new discovery has prompted the revision of history surrounding Peary's final battle after divers found two 3-metre bronze propellers and drive shafts "some kilometres" from where the ship came to rest, on the bed of Darwin Harbour.

E.O. 9066 also led the US gov’t to detain roughly 11,500 people of German ancestry and about 10,000 of Italian ancestry—many of whom were US citizens. Another 600,000 Italian-Americans had their movements sharply restricted.

A man once cruised the UK's canal system in a narrowboat that he had converted into a mock German U-boat at a cost of £50,000. U-8047 served as a floating museum until the "captain" was jailed in 2015 for his role in a £1M tax con.
