  • 75Th Anniversary National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Commemoration, December 7
    r^;,,—-—-^ 75TH ANNIVERSARY NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY COMMEMORATION DECEMBER 7, 2016 PEARL HARBOR - 'UNITING A DIVIDED NATION' Courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command At 6:00 a.m. on 7 December, six Imperial Japanese Navy carriers launched a first wave of 181 planes com­ prising torpedo bombers, dive bombers, horizontal bombers and fighters. The Japanese aircrews achieved complete surprise when they hit American ships and military installa­ tions on Oahu shortly before 8:00 a.m. They attacked military airfields at the same time they hit the fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. The Navy air bases at Ford Island and Kaneohe Bay, the Marine airfield at Ewa and the Army Air Corps fields at Bellows, Wheeler and Hickam were all bombed and strafed as other ele­ ments of the attacking force began their assaults on the ships moored in Pearl Harbor. The purpose of the simultaneous attacks was to destroy the American planes before they could rise to intercept the Japanese. Of the more than 90 ships at anchor in Pearl Harbor, the primary targets were the eight battleships an­ chored there. Seven were moored on Battleship Row along the southeast shore of Ford Island while the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) lay in dry dock across the channel. Within the first minutes of the attack all the battleships adjacent to Ford Island had taken bomb and/or torpedo hits. The USS West Virginia (BB-48) sank quickly. The USS Oklahoma (BB-37) turned turtle and sank. At about 8:10 a.m., the USS Arizona (BB-39) was mortally wounded by an armor-piercing bomb which ignited the ship's forward ammunition magazine.

On 27 August the fleet sailed for a visit to Melbourne from 29 August until 5 September and then to Albany from 11 September until 17 September. Celebrations for the arrival of the Great White Fleet had been surpassed only by those conducted for Federation. In Sydney, 80,000 people stood on South Head to watch the fleet enter Sydney Harbour. Crowds, parties, speeches and parades greeted the fleet at each port during its visit. The Great White Fleet’s visit to Australia was a momentous occasion in our nation’s history and one that added great emphasis to the ongoing development of a young Royal Australian Navy. Since then, both Navies have forged strong bonds of friendship. This evening we celebrate the centenary of the Great White Fleet’s rousing visit with a concert featuring the men and women of the Royal Australian Navy Band in company with musicians from the Pacific Fleet Band.
