The white splotches by the Arizona are bomb bursts from the first wave of horizontal bombers. Two bombs missed close alongside, while a third ricocheted off one of her aft gun turrets, penetrated the deck, and exploded.

On the right side of the photo, you can barely see the stern of the fleet tanker Neosho, which had just finished unloading her bunkers of aviation fuel for the aircraft stationed on Ford Island. If the Japanese had managed to hit her with just one bomb, the explosion would have made the Arizona's eruption look like a firecracker. Fortunately, the second-wave dive bombers that were targeting her were diverted by the Nevada's run to the sea.
