The USS ward was the ship that fired the first American shots during the attack on Peal Harbor
There were present at Pearl Harbor 8 cruisers, 2 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers when the attack came. Three cruisers were damaged but none were destroyed.
In all, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor crippled or destroyed nearly 20 American ships and more than 300 airplanes. Dry docks and airfields were likewise destroyed. Most important, 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians were killed and about 1,000 people were wounded.
No. He was in the US Army but not at Pearl Harbor during the attack.
Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii and was bombed by the Japanese on December 7th 1941. The above is true, and the Japanese thought they had caught all the U.S. ships in the harbor, but most were out to sea. Unfortunately several ships were bombed and sunk with heavy casualties.

Japan was attempting to wipe out the American Navy which would in effect reduce American participation in the war. Had our air craft carriers been in the harbor during the attack, Japan may have succeeded.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese conducted a surprise-attack upon the American naval base of Pearl Harbor and surrounding areas. During this battle, which consisted of minor naval threats along with two major air-strikes by carrier-based airplanes, Japanese forces bombed American ships inside the harbor, strafed and destroyed American planes at nearby airfields, and engaged in limited bombing and strafing of nearby installations and material.
Three American aircraft carriers were spared from the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were: - The USS Enterprise (she was returning to Pearl Harbor) - The USS Lexington (she was on her way to Midway Island delivering aircraft) - The USS Saratoga (she was docked in San Diego)
Japanese American internment during WW2 was ordered by United States in 1942 after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
No. A combination of British and Canadians forces had invaded the United States during the War of 1812.
Just as a personal opionion, this question is appalling. There were 2,403 people left dead at Peal Harbor, 8 ships damageed or destroyed, and 188 destroyed planes. You cannot rank one persons life over another.
