Before dawn on 7 December 1941, the American strategic center of gravity in the Pacific reposed in the seven battleships then moored along "Battleship Row", the six pairs of interrupted quays located along Ford Island's eastern side. Quay F-2, the southernmost, which usually hosted an aircraft carrier, was empty. Northeastward, Battle Force flagship California was next, moored at F-3. Then came two pairs, moored side by side: Maryland with Oklahoma outboard, and Tennessee with West Virginia outboard. Astern of Tennessee lay Arizona, which had the repair ship Vestal alongside. Last in line was USS Nevada, by herself at quay F-8. These seven battleships, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-five years, represented all but two of those available to the Pacific Fleet. The Fleet flagship, Pennsylvania, was also in Pearl Harbor, drydocked at the nearby Navy Yard. The ninth, USS Colorado, was undergoing overhaul on the west coast.

Why did Japan bomb battleship row?
The Japanese attacked battleship row, specifically, probably because of a fundamental misconception of what was important. At the start of world war 2, many, if not most, military people thought that the battleship was the heart of a country's navy. Therefore, destroying battleships was seen as a very important task during the attack on Pearl Harbor. At the start of world war 2, almost nobody had any real idea of the strategic and tactical value of the aircraft carrier. The course of the war in the Pacific soon illustrated, very clearly, what the value of the carrier was and is.
