  • Three Views of the Attack on Pearl Harbor: Navy, Civilian, and Resident Perspectives

    Three Views of the Attack on Pearl Harbor: Navy, Civilian, and Resident Perspectives

    MARJORIE KELLY Three Views of the Attack on Pearl Harbor: Navy, Civilian, and Resident Perspectives POPULAR UNDERSTANDING of the attack on Pearl Harbor will undoubtedly be colored by the release of the $135 million epic Pearl Harbor, the fifth most expensive film in movie history. Described as "an adventure/romance in which everything blows up at the end," Disney's Touchstone Pictures recreated the December 7, 1941 Japa- nese attack on the U.S. Navy as its visual climax with an impressive array of special effects. During the film's production, Honolulu Star- Bulletin journalist Burl Burlingame was already at work enumerating the movie's technological inaccuracies and shortcomings.1 In a sec- ond article which focused on the film's portrayal of race, Burlingame noted that originally the producers, executives, and director of Pearl Harbor said they would spare no expense in accurately portraying the attack—even obtaining the approval of veterans groups. During the filming, however, producer Jerry Bruckheimer "waffled mightily on the subject of accuracy," recharacterizing his project as "gee-whiz-it's- just-entertainment."2 With the film's release on Memorial Day of 2001, a new generation's perception of the attack will likely forever be influenced by the images and impressions engendered by the film. Also influential, however, have been the two films used to orient the more than one million visitors a year to the USS Arizona Memo- rial, administered by the National Park Service (NPS) on the Pearl Marjorie Kelly is a cultural anthropologist whose research specialty is the representation of culture in museum and tourist settings.

After the maneuvers the fleet remained in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, to provide a more forward presence than was possible from the U.S. west coast.3 The USS Oklahoma (BB-37) arrived in Pearl Harbor on 6 December 1940, one year and one day prior to the Japanese attack, and spent the next several months participating in exercises and conducting patrols.4 On the morning of 7 December 1941, a fleet of Japanese carriers launched formations of dive bombers, torpedo planes, and fighters against the vessels moored in the shallows of Pearl 1 “NMS-L “Request for Prosthetic Dental Treatment” for GLENN, Arthur, dtd 24 October 1933, Official Military Personnel File for GLENN, Arthur, 1610221, Record Group 24: Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, 1789- 2007, National Archives at St.

    First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor

    First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor William Brown East Carolina University Faculty Mentor: Wade Dudley East Carolina University ABSTRACT This project involves researching and writing a narrative combining the first-hand accounts of sail- ors in the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The goal of the project is to gather the personal accounts provided in oral histories and to synthesize those into a narrative describing the emotions of that morning. This has been accomplished by examining the oral histories provided by five men who graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1941 and survived the Japanese attack. A sixth account is provided by Lt. Alexander B. Coxe, Jr., who was the executive officer aboard the U.S.S Breese. Each individual perspective provides a different angle to the horror that surrounded Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The research highlights the raw emotions as the Japanese planes flew above and the destruction and death surrounding these men. n the morning of December 7, by documenting their memory of the at- O 1941, the naval and aerial forces of tack. Each of these men graduated from the Japanese Empire secretly attacked the the United States Naval Academy in 1941 United States Navy at the naval base of with the newly bestowed rank of Ensign, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial (National Park Service Photo by Jayme Pastoric) Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor." More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year. They file quietly through the building and toss flower wreaths and leis into the water. They watch the iridescent slick of oil that still leaks, a drop at a time, from ruptured bunkers after more than 50 years at the bottom of the sea, and they read the names of the dead carved in marble on the Memorial's walls.

    The Weeping Monument: a Pre and Post Depositional Site

    THE WEEPING MONUMENT: A PRE AND POST DEPOSITIONAL SITE FORMATION STUDY OF THE USS ARIZONA by Valerie Rissel April, 2012 Director of Thesis: Dr. Brad Rodgers Major Department: Program in Maritime History and Archaeology Since its loss on December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona has been slowly leaking over 9 liters of oil per day. This issue has brought about conversations regarding the stability of the wreck, and the possibility of defueling the 500,000 to 600,000 gallons that are likely residing within the wreck. Because of the importance of the wreck site, a decision either way is one which should be carefully researched before any significant changes occur. This research would have to include not only the ship and its deterioration, but also the oil’s effects on the environment. This thesis combines the historical and current data regarding the USS Arizona with case studies of similar situations so a clearer picture of the future of the ship can be obtained.

    Battleship Missouri Memorial Holds Joint Reenlistment Ceremony

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BATTLESHIP MISSOURI MEMORIAL HOLDS JOINT REENLISTMENT CEREMONY Ceremony Held in Remembrance of September 11th Tragedies Pearl Harbor, HI – (September 11, 2013) – The USS Missouri Memorial Association hosted a Joint Reenlistment ceremony this morning in remembrance of the thousands of lives lost as a result of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001. A total of 36 military personnel from all branches of the armed forces took an oath to recommit their undying service to our country and to the protection of its people. Major General Anthony G. Crutchfield, U.S. Army, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Pacific Command, administered the sacred oath under the historic Gun Turret One aboard the USS Missouri. “Today’s solemn occasion gave us all the opportunity to reflect and remember the lives sacrificed on this infamous day in history,” said Michael Carr, President and COO of the USS Missouri Memorial Association. “Our deepest appreciation and gratitude go out to the service members and their families who have recommitted to serving in the armed forces, and for making the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and prosperity of our nation.” Reenlisting service members that took part in today’s ceremonies were invited to fly their own National Ensigns, and received a commemorative flag certificate from the USS Missouri Memorial Association. Since opening its doors in 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has hosted reenlistments, promotions, commissioning’s, retirements and change of command ceremonies for sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines and coastguardsmen on nearly a daily basis. In 2012 alone, the organization held 1,007 military ceremonies.
