What was the last ship to get out of Pearl Harbor's Harbor?
The battleship USS Nevada was the only one to get up steam and sail towards the harbor's mouth. However, she was hit too many times and began to sink while under way; the battleship's commander ordered her beached so she would NOT sink and block the harbor's entrance.
What US ship sank in Pearl Harbor?
None. The harbor in Pearl is to swallow for a ship to "sink" that is for the ship to go under water and out of sight. Two battleships were listed as "lost". They were the Oklahoma because she capsized. The other was the Arizona because of the massive explosion ripped the ship almost in two. The other 6 battleships were damaged, some heavily. But were back in service before the end of the war. The Nevada was hitting targets on D-day. Others were hitting targets in the pacific. Hope this helps!
To what extent were the aims of the Japanese achieved from the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Why did the Lieutenant Commander of the Nevada intentionally grounded the ship at Pearl Harbor?
To ground a ship means to steer it into water too shallow for it to float so that it gets stuck on the bottom. Normally you want to avoid this at all costs. In the case of the Nevada, when the attack started she tried to make a run for it and get out of the harbor. She didn't make it. She was torpedoed and began to sink. If she had sunk in the channel into the harbor she would have blocked it and it would have been months before she could be hauled off. The entire surviving fleet would have been stuck in Pearl Harbor during that entire time. So, the captain or the executive officer, whoever was in charge, deliberately grounded the ship to avoid blocking the harbor. Michael Montagne
