God bless those who died on Dec. 7, 1941, and those who survived to fight another day, for the United States.

US Ships (name & type) Lost or Damaged at Pearl Harbor 74 Years Ago, on 07 Dec 1941

1. USS California, battleship
2. USS Oglala, minelayer (sunk, but rejoined the fleet in 44)
3. USS Nevada, battleship
4. USS Maryland, battleship
5. USS Arizona, battleship
6. USS Helena, cruiser
7. USS Cassin, destroyer (decommissioned due to damage, some of her equipment was transferred to a new hull which was commissioned with the same name)
8. USS Pennsylvania, battleship
9. USS Honolulu, cruiser
10. USS Oklahoma, battleship
11. USS West Virginia, battleship

Refloated and repaired. A chilling detail from the Wiki article on her: “During repairs, workers found the bodies of 66 _West Virginia_ sailors who were trapped below when the ship sank. Several were lying atop steam pipes, in the only remaining air bubble of flooded areas. Three were found in a storeroom compartment, where they had survived for a time on emergency rations and fresh water from a battle station; a calendar indicated that they were alive through December 23.” More than two weeks later!

Here’s an interesting picture of her in drydock later in the war: [USS West Virginia (BB-48) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_West_Virginia_(BB-48)#/media/File:USS_Artisan_ABSD-1_04.jpg)

I came in just too late to participate in that one, so I’d like to mention the former battleship [USS _Utah_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Utah_(BB-31)) (AG-16) - the other ship that’s still there at Pearl Harbor…
