USS Arizona Baseball Team Did they survive? (Photo provided by Bernard Murphy, Survivor - USS Maryland) |
"The Oklahoma was tied alongside of us and she capsized. We could hear the metal, tapping on the metal, to show the location. But, it's impossible to tell where it's coming from, so they just started cutting holes in it. Occasionally, they would hit where a pocket of people were." -- Delbert D. Black - USS Maryland Survivor |
"General Quarters was ringing, and you're trained to go down below, to your battle stations without any hesitation. I was thinking, once I go down below that may be it. I fought every instinct in disobeying the General Quarters alarm. I ran out, 150 feet, about a minute at most. I just wanted to see for myself. But, it was amazing, the conflict I had deep down in me to take a few seconds off and try to see, before I went below." -- Howard H. Juhl - USS California Survivor |
"I heard a bunch of planes coming so I jumped out of my bunk and then when I gazed up into the sky I could see the rising sun on the wings, and I couldn't figure it outwhat the heck's going on? They were in groups of 3 and there must have been about 18-20 of 'em. You could see these torpedoes hanging on the bottom. So they were torpedo planes coming in low for the attack." -- Stanley Niemara - USS Arizona Survivor |
