I found a link of men who survived the bombing of the USS Arizona but not a list of all who survived the attack in general.
LT George Welch and LT Ken Taylor were two pilots who not only survived the attack, they also were successful in fighting back.
Pearl Harbor's significance lies in two reasons. 1: Pearl Harbor was the first attack on American soil since the American Revolution. 2: The attack itself spurred the US into WWII
Of the 1,512 crew members aboard the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, approximately 334 survived. This means that roughly 22% of the crew survived the attack. The loss of life was significant, with the Arizona suffering the highest number of casualties among the battleships during the attack.
"I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941" is a work of historical fiction. It is part of the "I Survived" series by Lauren Tarshis, which presents fictional stories set against real historical events. The narrative follows a young boy's experiences during the Pearl Harbor attack, blending fictional characters with actual historical context to engage readers with the events of that day.
According to official records, 2,403 Americans died in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The number of survivors was significant, with around 1,247 military personnel and civilians injured but surviving the attack.
No. If they were, much less people would have died and most of the ships would have survived. The USS Arizona memorial might not have had to exist.
The attack was treacherous for many reasons. The United States was engaged with Japan in negotiations over the war effort. The attack was unprovoked and was unexpected.
The Japanese failed to destroy any of the aircraft carriers. While many of the smaller ships were destroyed, only one battleship was eliminated. The USS Arizona remains at the bottom of the harbor.

No, it was not a suicide mission, but it was a surprise attack. The Japanese launched aircraft from six Aircraft Carriers, the planes that survived the attack returned to their carriers. The Japanese only lost 29 aircraft, 4 midget submarines and only had 65 soldiers killed or wounded in the attack. This was out of a total of 353 Japanese aircraft invoved in the attack. The attack on Pearl Harbor was December 7th 1941, and Kamakaze pilots were not used until 1944.
