Setting the Record Straight

I have found over the years that people anxious to gather information for distant relatives, as well as casualty lists, have a tendency to use unverified or mistranscribed information that eventually gets copied to other lists, sources, and family trees. The misinformation inevitably bleeds over into other internet and printed sources and then, after time, this information becomes "fact". This was especially true for USS Arizona casualties when people were in a haste to find "new" information and try to fill in full names and gather photos for these men in time for the 50th Anniversary. This is unfortunate and it becomes very hard to set the record straight years later...Read More

First published in Messages from the Arizona, December 2010 issue

Hubert Aaron is incorrectly listed on many casualty lists and other modern resources as “Hubert Charles Titus Aaron”. He is the first name on every list and inscribed (correctly) on the Memorial Wall. Let's get this right! His Birth Certificate shows no middle name. He is listed on most muster rolls and crew data sheets as Aaron, Hubert (n). According to USS Arizona Survivor, Vincent James "Jim" Vlach, the use of (n) after a name on the muster rolls designates no middle name (not used on final ROC). Other government documents from that time show him as simply Hubert Aaron. Also note that the Memorial Wall lists him as only “H. Aaron” with no other initials. (See Supporting Documents below for reference)

This photo of Howard Anderson was erroneously published on this website in 2015 as Howard Taisey Anderson (where it remained until recently). This is a photo of Howard Anderson, 1918, that was sent to us to be included with former crew photos. We have not published the original of this photo until now. A cropped version was originally published in 2006 as part of our 65th Anniversary Special Collections - Former Crew Album.
