It capsized after being struck by bombs and torpedoes at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1945. She was later sold for scrap after her guns and superstructure were removed. It sank while it was being towed to the mainland in 1947.

Yes. The USS Oklahoma was in Pearl Harbor during the attack. It took the first hit by a Japanese torpedo that morning and is still at the bottom of the Harbor.Correction - The Oklahoma was salavged and sold for scrap metal. While she was being towed to California in 1947, she sank in the Pacific. Only the USS Arizona and USS Utah remain in Pearl Harbor.

The USS Oklahoma took three torpedo hits almost immediately after the first Japanese bombs fell. As she began to capsize, two more torpedoes struck home, and her men were strafed as they abandoned ship. Within 12 minutes after the attack began, she had rolled over until halted by her masts touching bottom, her starboard side above water, and a part of her keel clear.

December 7, 1941 was a very important part of history. it was the day when pearl harbor (Honolulu Hawaii) was attacked by the Japanese. the US. did not know about the attack and was un prepared. the Japanese killed 2,403 and wounded 1,170 people. (the navy had 2,008 deaths and 710 wounded, the marines had 109 deaths and 69 wounded, the army had 218 deaths and 364 wounded. 68 civilian deaths and 35 wounded) the Japanese bombed Arizona... one of the 8 battle ships that the US had. the 8 battle ships were the Arizona, Nevada, California, Tennessee, Maryland, and the west Virginia. i belive the battle ships were named after some of the us states for US pride.
