Central VA, thank you for posting this link to the Navy’s Pearl Harbor site with the accounts of 6 battleship sailors who survived the Dec 7, 1941 attack.

Just as a closing note, it should be remembered that Lieutenant Commander S. G. Fuqua, concussed and injured, stayed on the burning deck of the Arizona and directed the evacuation of remaining survivors, earning the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was the highest ranked officer to survive the Arizona.

Thanks for the ping to the Navy’s Pearl Harbor site.

Worked in an office on Ford island for a few years. Was interesting to walk around the area the burning sea planes that were photographed. Can see across the channel to where Shaw blew up. Nothing left of the older damaged sea plane hangers but the metal hangar door tracks in the cement.

We did some testing on the southern area of Waipio peninsula. The Arizona superstructure was dumped there years ago. I wandered around checking it out. Mostly just large plates with massive rivets. Nothing you could recognize.
