This is a link to a site about the Korean War (which connects to our study of the Korean war and Cold war) that includes an overview and a bunch of pictures with specific names and explanations. It was produced by the "DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY" / "NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER". The photographs enhance our knowledge of the subject by demonstrating US naval efforts in the war and providing more visual detail about the technology (planes, ships, weapons, etc.) the soldiers used, and the scale and effect of some of the explosions. A limitation faced when using this source is that because the focus is on American involvement and it could be argued that the purpose is to lift up the American navy, nothing is mentioned of the other nations' troops that were also sent into Korea, and all North Korean actions are painted in a negative light.
