Title: December 7th, 1941
Post by b0b on Dec 7th, 2006 at 11:05am



Quote:
Pearl Harbor.  Dawn, 7 December 1941.  More than half of the United States Pacific Fleet, approximately 150 vessels and service craft, lay at anchor or alongside piers in Pearl Harbor. All but one of the Pacific fleet’s battleships were in port that morning, most of them moored to quays flanking Ford Island. By 10:00 a.m. the tranquil Sunday calm had been shattered, 21 vessels lay sunk or damaged, the fighting backbone of the fleet apparently broken. Smoke from burning planes and hangers filled the sky. Oil from sinking ships clogged the harbor.

Death was everywhere.

I can't find the stories as of right now but these are some of the real headline.

Submarine could prove US started Pearl Harbor
An accidental discovery on the seabed could provide proof that an American sailor, not a Japanese pilot, fired the first shot in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that launched the Pacific War.

1941 Japanese sub found at Pearl Harbor
U.S. researchers say they have found a Japanese midget submarine sunk more than an hour before the aerial attack on Pearl Harbor that brought America into World War II.
