Two battleships lay on the harbor's bottom: USS Arizona and USS Utah (which was re-designated a training/target ship for aircraft).
yes. The USS Arizona exploded and sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
With the exception of the battleship Arizona which was sunk by a bomb thru the deck, torpedoes sank the balance of battleships with "hull" hits, most of which were "a midships."
The Battleship Arizona was hit several times- did suffer explosions- and sank with heavy casualties.
USS Arizona No, the battleship in question was USS Oklahoma which capsized. Most of the Arizona crew died quickly as the ship blew up and sank. Days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, divers were still involved in the rescue of Oklahoma crewmen. * Of the battleships at Pearl Harbor, only the Arizona and Oklahoma were beyond repair. Arizona became a national monument after the war, and Oklahoma sank in the Pacific while being towed back to the US.
quickly.
The USS Maine exploded and sank in Havana Harbor. It precipitated the US and Spain into the Spanish-American War.
The usa harbor........i think
In 1898 the U.S. battleship 'Maine' sank in the Havana harbor. It sank after an explosion caused by an underwater mine.
Nearly half of the dead from the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 were aboard the battleship USS Arizona. Shortly after the start of the attack, a Japanese bomb penetrated the forward deck plating and exploded inside the magazine, the place where explosives are stored. The Arizona was immediately destroyed and sank. It's still there, on the bottom of Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese on 12/7/41. Of 8 battleships there 5 were sunk. In addition the other three were damaged, the minelayer Oglala capsized and sank and the old battleship Utah capsized and sank. Many aircraft, both army and navy were destroyed. The Japanese lost only 29 Planes. It was a military defeat.
