All my maternal uncles served in WWII, two of which were in the harbor on that fateful day. God bless them and may they rest in peace.

Photos from the attack ... lest we forget. (source: http://www.navsource.org/Naval/arph.htm )
1. Opening seconds of the attack, Torpedo exploding against Oklahoma.
The Japanese plane that launched the torpedo can be seen peeling off after making its run.
Another can be seen just left of the hammer head crane about to start its attack run.
2. Destruction of the battleship Arizona, A direct hit to her forward magazine
destroyed the forward half of the ship killing over 900 of her crew instantly.
The time is 0810, approximately 12 minutes into the attack.
3. Late afternoon on December 7th, Fires still rage on board the shattered Arizona, her flag still flying.
Tennessee (left) had to keep her screws turning to keep Arizona's fires away.
The water pouring over the stern of Tennessee is the overflow from her flooded aft magazines.
