3 battleships were never used again.
USS Arizona (still on the bottom at Pearl harbor)
USS Oklahoma (sunk at sea while being towed to California)
USS Utah (redesignated Target/Training vessel) (still on the bottom at Pearl harbor)
USS Arizona?
US battlewagons: USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, USS Utah.
Because Japan had attacked Pearl harbor & we were not ready for such an invasion such as that one & also because it was to slow the Japanese down from trying to attack the Us again.
3 US battleships were never used again: US battleships USS Arizona and USS Utah still rest on the bottom of PH. Battleship USS Oklahoma was raised, sold for scrap (re-cycling) but sunk at sea while it was being towed back to California.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor needs to be remembered so that it never happens again. By Skyqueen1234
They wanted to attack Pearl Harbor again
American battleships were bombed at Pearl Harbor. The main target for the Japanese forces were the American aircraft carriers but luckly for the Americans the aircraft carriers were out doing training so Japanese forces hit the battleships, airplanes landed at the airbase in Pearl Harbor. Five battleships were sunk, three light cruisers, three destroyers, three smaller vessels, 188 aircrafts were destoried. 2,335 servicemen were killed, 68 civilians were killed, 1,178 were wounded. asalman88
They didn't want to involve themselves with a war that was none of their business - joining the war would've meant spending a lot of money on resources, putting the US back into recession. The only reason America did eventually join the war was due to retaliation - they wanted revenge for the December 7th Pearl Harbor attacks in 1941. Great Britain, Canada, Australia, France, and other allied nations were already fighting in Europe and Africa as early as 1939.
yes the attack was successful! they had very good armed forces and they did what the needed to do and hopefully they will not... again!
There were no further attack on Pearl Harbour after the first day, but Japanese attackselswhere allowed them ot take over large areas of the pacific ocean.
Only two, both battleships. USS Arizona's own magazines exploded and destroyed the forward half of the ship. She remains on the bottom in Pearl Harbor as a memorial. USS Oklahoma took numerous torpedo hits almost simultaneously, all on the port side, which caused her to roll over. She buried her superstructure in the mud of the harbor bottom when she did. It took the Navy until 1947 to get her refloated. Oklahoma was placed under tow to move her to the mainland for scrapping, but on the way she began to leak badly and the towship had to cut her loose. She sank again in deep water. The USS Utah was an old battleship. Her guns had been removed and her deck covered over with heavy timbers, and she was used as a target ship, for gunnery practice. The Japanese may have mistaken her for an aircraft carrier. Utah was sunk on the opposite side of Ford Island from Battleship Row, and no effort was made to raise her. Along with Arizona, she remains on the bottom in Pearl Harbor. Utah was obsolete when she was converted to a target ship and would have seen no action in the war anyway.
better security meassures could have been taken. Then in 2001 we were attacked again this time using civilian aircraft hijacked in the skies. I guess it took over 50 years to realise there is something wrong with the security meassures taken or that those meassures are never hundred percet bullet proof.
