Artifact - Lt. Caleb Kendall's Navigational Plotting Board
Naval History and Heritage Command
April 2, 2025 | 0:57
Today we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Okinawa, a pivotal moment in WWII and the largest and most costly battle in U.S naval history. The price of victory was extremely high: more than 4,900 U.S Sailors were killed, with 36 ships sunk and 368 damaged, mostly due to kamikaze suicide attacks.

One of these casualties was Lieutenant Caleb Kendall. The artifact in this video, a navigational plotting board (which still has writing from, presumably, his final flight), now resides in the U.S. Navy's Central Artifact Collection.

NHHC's Curator Branch manages the U.S. Navy’s Central Artifact Collection. Artifacts such as this create a visceral connection between current sailors and those that served in the past, and serve as a reminder of the extraordinary courage, determination, and sacrifice these warfighters made for their shipmates, the Navy, and our country.
