The True Glory chronicles the Allied liberation of Western Europe, from the preparations for Operation Overlord to the fall of Berlin. 

After the US strategic victories at the Battles of the Coral Sea (May 7–8, 1942) and Midway (June 4–7, 1942), the Japanese Imperial Navy was no longer capable of major offensive campaigns, which permitted the Allies to start their own offensive in the Pacific.

After a Japanese torpedo attack, a heavy cruiser survives to fight again -- with the help of a temporary bow fashioned from a tropical tree trunk. 

The National WWII Museum’s new original special exhibit, Come Back Fighting: USS New Orleans at War, follows the prolific history and remarkable resilience of the decorated heavy cruiser USS New Orleans (CA-32) and her veteran crew that mirror the indomitable spirit of her namesake city.

More than 80 years after the Battle of Tassafaronga, a team of scientists and explorers aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus found and imaged the wrecked bow of the New Orleans at the bottom of Iron Bottom Sound.
