Obtain the book titled: WARSHIP LOSSES OF WORLD WAR TWO, by David Brown. (1995) ISBN 155-7509-14X. This book has a complete list in the back of all warships sunk and how they were sunk (bomb, torpedo, gunfire, etc). It does NOT contain submarine, PT boats, or merchant ships.
On December 7, 1941 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 6 Japanese Carriers launched 352 planes which sank the Battleships Arizona, Oklahoma, California, and West Virginia killing close to 3,000.
Land was not destroyed at Pearl Harbor. The bombs destroyed buildings and shore facilities. They sank many ships and destroyed aircraft on the ground. They were unable to destroy the facilities used to repair the ships, which proved a major factor moving forward in the war.
It was the attack of Pearl Harbor that made the US join the allies.
because japan attacked pearl harbor (i don't know the dates) and the us got mad and also because japan and Germany sank some of their ships.so they went to war
There was no battle that got the US into WW II. In Europe, we came to the aid of our allies, Britain and France, whom Germany had declared war on. In the Pacific Ocean, the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and sank all the battleships, there, and killed a number of military and civilian people, then declared war on the US. The US declared war on Japan, and thusly got into that part of the War.
A+ eight
The Arizona was completely destroyed; the Oklahoma capsized; the California, Nevada and West Virgina sank. There were numerous other vessels damaged.
With the exception of the battleship Arizona which was sunk by a bomb thru the deck, torpedoes sank the balance of battleships with "hull" hits, most of which were "a midships."
Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese on 12/7/41. Of 8 battleships there 5 were sunk. In addition the other three were damaged, the minelayer Oglala capsized and sank and the old battleship Utah capsized and sank. Many aircraft, both army and navy were destroyed. The Japanese lost only 29 Planes. It was a military defeat.
quickly.
The usa harbor........i think
About 16 (all of them). So many that if we would have had our last 3 aircraft carriers in port at the time of the attack, we would have been nearly lost any for of resistance.
sank
Two battleships lay on the harbor's bottom: USS Arizona and USS Utah (which was re-designated a training/target ship for aircraft).
There was 90 ships docked in Pearl Harbor. Three ships sank, while four more took damage.
The midget subs the Japanese launced to attack Pearl Harbor sank no ships and of their crews there was only one survivor and he was captured.
USS Arizona No, the battleship in question was USS Oklahoma which capsized. Most of the Arizona crew died quickly as the ship blew up and sank. Days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, divers were still involved in the rescue of Oklahoma crewmen. * Of the battleships at Pearl Harbor, only the Arizona and Oklahoma were beyond repair. Arizona became a national monument after the war, and Oklahoma sank in the Pacific while being towed back to the US.
