"We felt several bombs hit and the ship shuddered a little bit, when the eighth bomb hit the ship, that caused the explosion the ship sank in eight minutes." ---James W. Green USS Arizona Survivor |
"The only bomb I actually saw was released from a plane coming over. I couldn't watch too much of its flight, but then it disappeared. But it landed right down on our boat deck between number 4 and number 6 aircraft guns. When the ship blew up, most of the guys with me jumped... That's why they got burned pretty bad." ---Russell Lott USS Arizona Survivor |
This photograph is of a watch on display at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD. It was furnished to us by William Hughes (USS Utah) and Captain Rick Hauck. This historic value of the watch is significant because it documents the approximate time Lt. Philip Frederick Hauck dove into the water as the USS Utah was capsizing. |
