The ships are in 'Battleship Row." It's crazy to think that it could be this calm right before devastation and the sad passing of many Americans. Calm right before the storm.

Most soldiers were eating breakfast or waking up when the attack commenced. They came from numerous directions and attacked us unprepared. The red circles symbolize the Japanese flag.

These bombs were dropped in the water and could strike ships. This was new technology and was extremely unstable and dangerous.

It is noted that even some of the brave soldiers weren't even fully dressed but still ran into the line of fire to shoot down the aircraft. Thats a real hero.

Even to this day oil leaks from the USS Arizona, which is more than 80 years later. A common theory is that the oil will keep leaking until the last Pearl Harbor survivor passes away.
