Re: energy_wave #96793
My Uncle was on a ship just outside of "Pearl" and headed towards the channel. The Japanese didn't even mess with the ship he was on..

..actually? on the"Phoenix" then operated off the West Coast and was later based at Pearl Harbor. On 7 December 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor she was anchored north east of Ford Island near Solace. Observers on board the Phoenix sighted the rising sun of Japan on planes coming in low over Ford Island and a few seconds later the ship's guns took them under fire. The Phoenix escaped the disaster unharmed and shortly after noon was underway to join the cruisers St. Louis and Detroit and several destroyers in an impromptu task force searching, unsuccessfully, for the enemy aircraft carriers.

My Uncle would not talk about that day until 1985.
