Early in the morning on December 7, 1941, the "U.S.S. Ward,", a navy destroyer stationed at Pearl Harbor, spotted a submarine near the harbor-entrance. As an unidentified vessel in restricted waters (and with war imminent), the sub was viewed as hostile and was attacked: it was quickly sunk through a combination of gunfire and depth charges launched by the "Ward."
