>Russia is also supporting its โ€œaxisโ€ partner by sharing intelligence on Western targets in the Middle East.

Story originated with Washington Post. Same source that started the story about Russia putting a bounty on U.S. servicemembers a few years back.

Colorado was undergoing overhaul at the Puget Sound Navy Yard when Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor opened the Pacific War. She was stationed on the U.S. West Coast during March-August 1942, then steamed west to Pearl Harbor. From November 1942 into September 1943, she was one of the older battleships deployed to the South Pacific to guard against possible Japanese offensive actions in that area. In November 1943, Colorado took part in the Tarawa invasion. She supported the landings at Kwajalein and Eniwetok in January and February 1944 and the Marianas operation in June and July. On 24 July 1944, while bombarding Tinian, she was hit by enemy shore batteries, suffering serious casualties among exposed personnel topside.

USS Colorado: The 'Other' Battleship

By Grahame F. Shrader

December 1976 Proceedings Vol. 102/12/886

 

With her overhaul completed, the Colorado was scheduled to depart 13 November and arrive at Pearl Harbor to relieve the West Virginia on the 29th, more than a week before the Japanese attack. But a blower had been improperly installed, and during post-repair trials, the rewound electric drive motor overheated and caught fire. Before the trouble was corrected, the war had started, and it was decided to add antitorpedo blisters to the shipโ€™s hull. Itโ€™s likely that the decision was reached as a result of the success of Japanese torpedoes against the old battleships in Pearl Harbor.
