In the early hours of December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched their first attack on Pearl Harbor. Their main targets were the aircraft carriers and the destroyers in port. The Utah was moored in an area reserved for the aircraft carriers. Utah was covered in 6 by 12 inch timbers and metal sheds to protect it from target practice. The location of the Utah coupled with the timbers on deck, made it appear as an aircraft carrier. The japanese pilots attacked the Utah with a vengeance. Utah was the first ship to be hit and sunk.
The USS Utah remains sunk in Pearl Harbor today. Until very recently, access to the Memorial site has been allowed only with special permission. Most visitors to Pearl Harbor are not aware of the Utah Memorial or even that she remains in the harbor with 50 men still on duty.
This book is a Memorial to all the men that were serving on the USS Utah on that fateful morning. Who were these brave men? What did they experience during those last minutes?
A great deal has been written about the Pearl Harbor attack, the loss of ships and conspiracy theories. Very little has been written about the men that experienced these events first hand. This is their story.
Soft cover. 250 pages. Book measures approximately 8 inches by 10 inches.
Found some information i was looking for, but not all i wanted. Some crew members from USS Raleigh CL-7 tied up at F-12 near Utah were detailed to aid in rescues of crew-members of capsized Utah. My mother had said her brother Lansing Sharp, a Fireman Water Tender was among those who worked on Utah attempting recovery of those lost until December 25. However is name was not listed in the names of Raleigh crew on page 29 which only speaks of day 1, December 7th. According to family stories the work continued for days after.
This book is a treasure trove of real life information about a little recognized part of the attack and should be read by those interested in real stories about December 7th.
