The planes are now about 70 miles away. Many believe this may mean war for America. Later Japanese pilots see “a long white line of coast”.

The Japanese hoped to destroy and thus thwart U.S. retaliation. Logan Ramsey, the commander sees a plane flying low, when he sees “something black fall out of that plane”. Soon he realized that it was a bomb and sent a message saying, "Air raid on Pearl Harbor X this is not drill."

The Japanese wanted control of the air and hoped to destroy American warplanes, which ended in most getting destroyed. After, a bomb is dropped and pierces the forward deck of the USS Arizona battleship. This set off more than 1 million pounds of gunpowder, creating a huge fireball and killing 1,177 men.

Later, a lookout spots a Japanese sub caught and the U.S. shoots and misses. A crewman is washed ashore — and becomes the United States’ first World War II prisoner of war. Soon after, U.S. ship signals that it has sighted a submarine and hits it, eventually it sinks.

The USS Nevada battleship gets steamed up, which is shortly before the Japanese planes wave bomb the ship. Bombers attack the Navy yard dry dock and hit another battleship. Others hit oil tanks and the on-board ammunition explodes. Later, pieces of the ship rain down.
