There were seven battleships in the harbor and one ex-battleship, the Utah, which had been re-designated as a target ship. Only three, Utah, Arizona, and Oklahoma, were destroyed.

The Utah was sunk in the first 10 minutes of the attack and never raised.

The Arizona was struck by an armor-piercing bomb which ignited her powder magazines. She has remained in the harbor and been designated a national shrine.

The Oklahoma was struck by 5 bombs and capsized. She was decommissioned shortly after and never returned to duty.

The West Virginia was sunk, but raised and repaired in 1942. She received 5 battle stars for action in the remainder of the war.

Nevada got underway, but after being struck by bombs and torpedoes she was beached. She was re-floated in February and went on to receive 7 battle stars.

California was sunk, but re-floated in March 1942 and sent to Puget Sound for repairs. She also earned 7 battle stars in World War II.

Maryland was struck by two bombs but soon returned to full duty. She also earned 7 battle stars.

Tennessee received the least damage of any of the battleships and was being repaired by December 16. She received 10 battle stars.

On December 7, at approximately 7:55 am, the Japanese flew 230 miles from the north with a force of 6 aircraft carriers and 423 planes. There were two waves of attack. The first wave consisted of 51 Val dive bombers, 50 high level bombers, 43 Zero fighters and 40 Kate torpedo bombers. When commander Mitsuo Fuchida gave the command, "Tora! Tora! Toda!" which means Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! all hell broke lose. In the second wave that happened about 50 minutes later with Americans ready for this attack, 5 Japanese mini-subs were also included but didn't help much. Within two hours 2, 403 Americans were dead and 68 of those were civilans. 1,178 were wounded. 8 battleships, 3 light cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 4 auxiliary craft were destroyed or sank. 13 fighter jets, 21 scout bombers, 46 patrol bombers 3 utility craft, 2 transporters, and 1 observation or scout planes received damage. This information is based on the book, "At Dawn We Slept" by Prange.
