Also known as the Truk Islands.
Dear Daily Mail
Please do not rearrange the correct spellling of Pearl Harbor to suit the Angophile spelling of the word “harbour”.
It is a capital name of a city which carries significance and historical meaning to the people of the nation in which that city is located. It should not be subject to your linguistic peculiarities.
Some of you take great freedom in mis-spelling the name of that famous place and I for one resent the ignorance you display.
“Also known as the Truk Islands.”
I was wondering if that was the case- I didn’t recall ever hearing of the Chuuk Islands in the many nights I spent transfixed by Victory at Sea.
(not even going to do any online research first)
Isn’t this about Truk Lagoon?
And wasn’t it known as “Iron Bottom Bay” after the successful U.S. attack?
