Only two high-level bombs actually hit USS Arizona, aft and forward. Others, dropped from the high-level B5N2 Nakajima high-level "Kate" bombers hit the repair ship, Vestal, nested next to Arizona, and fell in between the two ships (exploding in the water). Despite rumors to the contrary, no torpedoes ever hit Arizona. The final and most destructive 1743 pound armor-piercing bomb was released at 10,499 feet elevation and struck the starboard side of the forecastle deck, between Turrets 1 and 2. The time has been reported as early as 08:06 a.m. However, most experts agree that the deadly blow hit between approximately 08:09 and 08:10 a.m. The No. 80 Japanese bomb contained 132 pounds of cast TriNitroAnisole explosive. It passed through four decks and 5.62 inches of armor before touching off the forward powder magazine. The first flash occurred in the powder room on the starboard side of the number two turret handling room. Approximately 1.28 million pounds of 14-inch ordnance stored in the forward magazine area were ignited and consumed by the explosion. It sent a gigantic ball of flame nearly 500 feet into the air; split the forward section of the ship, at the main mast, and sank into the mud within 9 minutes after the massive explosion.
