Ships Sunk in Pearl Harbor by the Japanese
December 7, 1941
Pictures and information about United States military ships that
were sunk by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
"Sun" is probably not strictly correct however, because I don't
think Pearl Harbor was deep enough to actually cover the tops
of the ships. I think official records say "sunk or beached".
