However, a number of crew members of the "Arizona" still survived, and those who survived in the fire of further battles of the Second World War, many years after it ended, came to the ceremony dedicated to the 7 tragedy of December 1941.

The 5 crew members of this battleship are still alive: Lonnie Cook (98 years), Luren Bruner (98 years), Kan Potts (97 years), Lou Conter (97 years) and Don Stratton (96 years). True, for the first time in all the post-war time, none of them will be able to attend, for health reasons, an event related to the attack of the Japanese on the US Navy base in Hawaii.

However, 40 is still living American veterans of the war in the Pacific participated in the solemn ceremony of memory (of this number, about half - those who survived the blow to Pearl Harbor).

In conclusion, we will quote the words of the Managing Director of the ceremony:
What a pity that the last of those who still remember the first steps on the long road to Tokyo, started on December 7 of December 1941, are gradually leaving us ...

It’s not clever to come to places that allow Japanese militarists to make themselves victims of the war they started for the president of the country that was attacked.

                        2) There would be indifference to civilian casualties - only in Gaza with Lebanon would there be more corpses than for all the Arab-Israeli wars on both sides. laughing

          One could say more, they didn’t only know, but they needed it, the Japanese were provoked to attack so that the United States could enter World War II, to which the American public was not eager to have a direct relationship, to get involved in hostilities. Why, instead of the alleged farce for the Yankees, there was a tragedy, despite the fact that they had withdrawn the aircraft carriers from Pearl Harbor in advance, leaving the battleships? Analysis of the attack of the Italian base in Taranto, by British carrier-based aircraft, revealed that due to the shallow depths, most aircraft torpedoes were buried in the ground. At Pearl Harbor, the depths were even shallower. Second, it was known for certain that the Japanese aviation did not have armor-piercing bombs that could somehow damage well-protected battleships. And what about the brave samurai? The guys improved torpedoes, a simple wooden device that did not allow the torpedo to burrow when dropped from an aircraft. The second, from the category of "cheap and cheerful", instead of armor-piercing bombs, the Japanese used large-caliber armor-piercing shells, to which they simply welded stabilizers. So the Yankees got the carnage, having lost virtually all the power of their battleships of the Pacific Fleet. What else I would like to note here, the Americans have long rotten traditions, for the "legitimacy" of their "righteous" anger, be it in the bay of Havana, with the armored cruiser "Maine", the same Pearl Harbor (where at least not the battleships themselves were sunk), The Tonkin incident, or the industrial bombing of its own twin towers. If we add to this the Hollywood "conquest" of the Moon, the greatest swindle of the century, then, someday, this "nation" will be erected a shameful monument, for all the arrogance, meanness, hypocrisy and hypocrisy that they brought to our earthly civilization.

            A good provocation is to expose the main class of ships to attack. The basis of the US Navy in 1941 was considered to be LC. The task of the AB was to ensure their actions - conducting reconnaissance in the interests of linear forces and fighting against reconnaissance of the enemy by destroying his AB. It is this tactic that the US fleet worked on in all pre-war exercises.
            And, by the way, AV Enterprise almost fell under the distribution. If the Japanese raid was delayed even for an hour or two, then Big E would be caught at the entrance to the harbor.

            Yeah ... and after this welding of a 1000-kg shell received an 800-kg bomb. smile
            Ne so it was, savsam ne so. ©

            The ballistic (1) and armor-piercing (2) tips, as well as leading belts (6), were dismantled at the shell. The cylindrical part of the projectile, which did not affect armor penetration, was turned on a cone (5) to reduce the weight of the bomb to the B5N acceptable for the Nakajima carrier-based strike aircraft. The internal cavity (4) was increased, which also reduced the weight, significantly increased the explosive charge, and in addition, an aluminum damper (3) was installed there, following the model of new Japanese armor-piercing shells, which reduces shock loads on the explosive charge. A new screw bottom (7) was also made for two fuses (8) of an aircraft type and with a protrusion for attaching the stabilizer block. Plus, the stabilizer block itself (9), which was probably the simplest in this whole conversion. The result was a completely independent new ammunition, for which the original artillery shell served as nothing more than a blank with suitable dimensions and strength characteristics.

And then they did not interfere with what they needed to do! They couldn’t just start a war because they themselves armed Germany and opposed its ally, they could have flown into
        on signed agreements. And after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they received the exclusive right to fight with all the Yap allies. In part, this fact confirms that, on this day in the bay there were no aircraft carriers, the main force of mattresses at sea.

          And they did it right.
          Already in the first raid, the Japanese lost 55 aircraft and 55 crew members - with an almost inactive air defense system. In the second raid, they would have to face the deployed canalized anti-aircraft defense of the coastal artillery and the fully finished canned anti-aircraft defense of the ships. Plus - three dozen living "axes". And most importantly, the Japanese aircraft were supposed to return to AB at dusk, with the prospect of a night landing.
          Let me remind you - on the ships of Kido Butai all the trained deck pilots available in Japan were assembled. And the attack on PX was auxiliary - to ensure the Pacific flank of the main operation in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the participation of AB in this operation was scheduled for six months in advance. And to risk the main blow due to losses in the impact auxiliary Nagumo could not. Moreover, given the fact that the American AB could not be found.

          And most importantly - the destruction of fuel tanks was absolutely pointless. Old tankers that were transferred to PX could be used as temporary fuel storage facilities (this was practiced by all parties - even the Japanese used such ersatz storage facilities). Moreover, they did not need to stand long in the harbor - already in 1942, protected rock storage facilities were commissioned in PX. And the largest oil producer in the world certainly had no problems with ship fuel.

This is judged by their memoirs and various interviews. Plus thousands of drivers, tankers or sailors.

            You do not confuse Roosevelt with Eisenhower?

            1. Do not confuse if historians do not lie:
            The very next day after the attack, US President Franklin Roosevelt addressed Congress with a "war message to the nation":
            "Yesterday, on a day marked forever with shame, the United States of America was unexpectedly and deliberately attacked by the Japanese Navy," Roosevelt said.
            Japan was declared a war.

            2. About "fascism" and "nazism" - a correct remark (clarification).
            3. What does the 1920 pact here, when there is a Note Hella from 26.11.1941.
            The clash of interests between the United States and Japan, players with imperial ambitions, began long before December 7, 1941. But the spark that ignited the fuse-word cord of the war in the Pacific was the so-called "Hull note" delivered to Japan by the US Secretary of State on November 26. Until now, historians from the United States and Japan have no consensus on this document. Japanese scientists regard the note as an ultimatum, while the American ones are on exactly opposite positions. According to Japanese scholars, Hull's note demanded from Japan the obviously impossible: withdrawal of troops from China, withdrawal from the Triple Pact concluded by Japan, Germany and Italy in September 1940. The Japanese side took the note as a demonstration of the US unwillingness to continue negotiations.

            4. The unthinkable is a clear evidence of the true thoughts and intentions of the "allies" in relation to our country.

              1) I'm talking about Roosevelt's career - he was not a professional military man. (I did not understand that you are a professional military man)
              3) Washington in the year 21 made a decision on its own right to resolve disputes in the Pacific Ocean, which caused dissatisfaction of the Japanese. Then, in the 40th, EMNIP ban on the supply of metalworking machines, airplanes, aircraft fuel burners, and then oil.
              And then - yes, the note of Hell, i.e. ultimatum. Although I read that the last straw was the oil embargo, the Yapis had plans to attack in October, but Hirohito fundamentally intervened, because did not want war.
              Thank you for Note Hal, did not know the name or contents in details hi
              4) The unthinkable is Churchill’s insanity, or rather, his attempts to follow the traditional WB policy - to extinguish any strong European by gathering a coalition. The states simply sent him, and their own military and politicians explained that no one would fight against yesterday’s ally.

        The main purpose of the raid - the destruction of aircraft carriers, was not achieved.

        The main purpose of the PX attack was to eliminate the threat posed by the US Pacific Fleet for IJA and IJN operations in the main area - in SEA and the Philippines. This goal was fully achieved ... from a Japanese point of view.
        The funny thing is that the threat from the US Pacific Fleet was extremely exaggerated by the Japanese. In fact, all plans for a war with Japan provided for an operational pause to concentrate the forces of the fleet and landing before frog jumping across the atolls and luring the Japanese fleet into a general engagement. During this time, all operations of the Pacific Fleet would have been limited to AB strikes at the least protected points of Japanese defenses (in the "hit and run" style) and the conduct of unlimited submarine warfare. Given the state of the Marine Corps in 1941, this concentration period would have lasted at least a year.

        So Kido Butai is not TF.38 / 58. To work on all of the above, a second raid is needed. On target with live air defense and landing at dusk / night. Is it worth putting the main operation in Southeast Asia for the sake of an auxiliary strike? Especially taking into account the fact that the Japanese will not be able to quickly make up for losses - there is practically no reserve (all trained pilots have been gathered on Kido Butai), and the pace of replenishment preparation has still remained pre-war.

      What does it mean 1177 souls compared with the acquisition of half the world? Dust! For whom?
      "There is such a party!"
      Gentlemen financiers such as Baruch, who ruled Woodrow Wilson personally (created by the Federal Reserve in 1913) and through "Colonel House" (the klikuh of the Baruch doll) with the draft Treaty of Versailles and the creation of the League of Nations, which guaranteed the beginning of World War II in 20 years.
      So Pearl Harbor is a gigantic provocation organized by Baruch through Roosevelt and Stalin through Richard Sorge (the withdrawal of Japan from the USSR to the USA). The wolves are safe and the sheep are full.
