  • The USS Arizona Memorial
    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.

Oral History Interview, 2001. User Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Video Recording: 1 videorecording (ca. 45 min.); ½ inch, color. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Stanley Gruber, a Butler, Wisconsin native, discusses his Navy service as a gunners mate in the Pacific Theater of World War II, including surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor. Gruber talks about choosing assignment to the USS Maryland (BB-46), having his tonsils taken out by the Navy, duty as a gunners mate with five-inch anti-aircraft guns, and having an admiral aboard who would frequently pull inspections. Based at Pearl Harbor, he reflects that his crew was aware of poor relations with Japan but never expected an attack. Gruber details the attack on Pearl Harbor: being on the boat deck of the Maryland, which was tied up at Ford Island, noticing heavy air traffic, realizing they were Japanese airplanes, breaking into his cache of firing pins, getting hit by flying paint chips, and perforating his eardrums by firing at the enemy planes without ear protection. He describes putting on his gas mask after seeing a wet deck, worrying that his guns could not hit the high-altitude bombers, and being initially unaware that surrounding ships had been sunk. Gruber states smoke from the damaged USS Arizona, West Virginia, and Tennessee helped screen his ship from enemy aircraft.

  • “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy” by Bill Poray, Perinton Town Historian
    “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy” By Bill Poray, Perinton Town Historian Seventy-five years ago President Franklin D. Roosevelt requested the support of Congress for a declaration of war, with the immortal words, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” The attack began at 7:48 a.m., Hawaiian Time. Six Japanese aircraft carriers launched 353 planes in the invasion, resulting in the deaths of 2,403 Americans, and almost half as many wounded. Four U.S. Navy battleships were sunk, the remaining four sustained significant damage. Many other ships were sunk or damaged. One of the four sunk battleships was the USS Arizona, resulting in the death of 1,177 crewmen and officers. Just 125 yards away was the USS Solace, and among the crew was Fairport’s Edward Van Scott. The Solace, a hospital ship, was not damaged in the attack. The ship’s lifeboats were immediately dispatched to rescue victims in the burning water of the harbor. Hundreds of wounded were brought to the USS Solace for treatment that day. Less than 45 minutes after the invasion, Fairport’s Paul Earl received word of the attack while on the deck of the USS Chester, a Northampton-class cruiser, which was on route from Wake Island, back to Pearl Harbor at the time. Edward Van Scott and Paul Earl survived the invasion of Pearl Harbor, but they had something else in common as well.

USS MARYLAND CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT OF WORK PERFORMED BY PEARL HARBOR NAVY YARD. TRANSCRIPT Transcription of unsigned handwritten draft of a report on repair work on the USS Maryland carried out and completed, ahead of schedule, between 11 July and August 10, 1944 Includes corrections indicated by the writer and also minor editing of spelling, capitalization and punctuation. Transcribed by Ann Yanagi University of Hawaii at Manoa Library July 2000 [Page 2 front] The USS MARYLAND (BB 46) was damaged while near the island of Saipan during the operation against that base in the summer of 1944. Damage resulted from a torpedo hit in the port side at frame 8. The forecastle deck was undamaged except for slight droop forward of frame 9. The section of the bow structure above 2nd deck forward of frame 5 was undamaged and salvageable. The remainder of the bow structure forward of frame 14 from bottom of the keel to main deck and forward of frame 7 above main deck required renewal. The stem casting was broken in three places and was distorted below 2nd deck. The keel was in place but unsalvageable forward of frame 12. All of the above damage report was sent from ComServRon 1 [p. 3] in the forward area addressed to ComServPac at Hawaii. ComServPac after consultation re- addressed the message to the Navy Yard, Pearl Harbor for action. ComServPac also made the ship available for urgent repairs.

  • 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.
