All meaningful and critical events that changed the course of world history.
In 2021 the Pearl Harbor attack will have its 80th anniversary. Ruby is fitting because it marks so much from the red of the American flag to the red blood that flowed from the decks of the US Arizona and other US Navy vessels on that fateful day to the red seen on the Japanese meatballs that marked the Japanese Zeros, dive bombers and torpedo bombers that that filled the skies over the USS Arizona and battleship row with a fury of attacks that would disable and sink dozens of US Navy warships that day.
USS Arizona BB-39
One of the most famous of US military warships, the USS Arizona is first off the line marking an amazing collectible series of coins never before designed to this standard and level of quality.
The Big A! She was built on 10-17-1916 and was later sunk at Pearl Harbor on 12-7-1941. She was a Pennsylvania class battleship and weighed in at 29,626 tons measuring 608 feet with a beam of 97 feet.
If she had taken her guns to war and been given a chance to fight alongside her sisters the USS Arizona would have brought 4 triple 14 inch guns, 22 5 inch gins, 4 single 3 inch anti-aircraft guns and 2 21 inch torpedo tubes. The USS Arizona was a warship not to tangle with. Had she gone to war she could have quite easily been at the battles of the South Pacific and the island hopping campaigns of the 1st Marine Division from Tinian and Saipan, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Peleliu, Guadalcanal, Guam and Okinawa just to name a few.
