    Remembering Pearl Harbor This year marks the 79th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is estimated there are fewer than 20 survivors still alive in 2020. The attack killed 2,403 service members and wounded 1,178 more. Six U.S. ships were sunk. Additionally, 169 U.S. Navy and Army Air Corps planes were destroyed. Civilians were also in danger. There were 34 men* from St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County killed in action. Nineteen of them were on the USS Arizona. There were two from St. Charles County killed in action. In all, 64* men were killed from Missouri. On December 6, 1941 we know of six St. Charles County residents stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack. It is likely there were more. They were: • Frederick W. Baue, USS Chew, Destroyer • Ray Bohnenkamp USS Schley, Destroyer • James Cregan, USS Argonne, Supply Ship • Noble Burnice Harris USS Arizona, Battleship • George McElfresh, USS Reigel, Destroyer Tender • Joseph Gillespie Smartt, USNR PBY Pilot, Kaneohe Station Sadly, two would not survive the attack. In all, about 34 St. Louisans were killed at Pearl Harbor. St. Charles County Survivors Tell Their Stories Frederick W. Baue of St Charles was born 14-OCT 1915. He served aboard the USS Chew, an old destroyer, docked near “battleship row” next to the USS Allen. As Fred recalled, “I was downstairs eating breakfast, I got up topside about 5 or 10 minutes after it started. The Oklahoma was already going down.” Fred, a torpedoman, said “You can’t shoot torpedoes at airplanes, so I wound up on a machine gun.
