For the benefit SBO'ers and of those of us who know world-renowned navel designer Roger Long from places other than SBO: PBS has featured two shows about Pearl Harbor. They were on PBS's 3 channels in the Baltimore/DC view area on Wednesday, and they are worth watching. I'm sure with December 7th coming it will be repeated and hopefully broadcast nationwide. The 2, 60-minute, shows are newly made in HD, with original photography, computer simulations, actual Rover footage, and survivors of the 2 ships attacks.

One is about the Arizona. The other is about the Oklahoma, and includes an appearance by our own Roger Long. The show is "Pearl Harbor- USS Oklahoma- the Final Story". About 25 minutes into the show the topic becomes the Japanese mini-subs at the Harbor, and has Roger (with the beard) sharing his knowledge regarding their attacks. I highly suggest you watch both episodes.

This show is not to be confused with Roger's previous appearance dealing with explosion/implosion of a mini sub. THAT is another story!

I am sure this has been mentioned before, but he can also be seen in this video about the Japanese Mini Subs used at Pearl. It is very interesting, but Roger can been seen at the 44:00 mark.
