Summary edit

Description Aerial view from Japanese plane taken during the early moments of the Pearl Harbor attack, circa 07:55 hrs on 7 December 1941. The view is about southeast across the Middle Loch, with Honolulu and Diamond Head in the right distance. Torpedoes have just struck USS West Virginia (BB-48) and USS Oklahoma (BB-37) on the far side of Ford Island. On the near side of the island, toward the left, USS Utah (AG-16) and USS Raleigh (CL-7) have already been torpedoed. Fires are burning at the seaplane base, at the right end of Ford Island. Across the channel from the seaplane base, smoke along 1010 Dock indicates that USS Helena (CL-50) has also been torpedoed.
