How Japan destroy the US Navy in Pearl habour? Vertical aerial view of "Battleship Row" at Pearl Harbor, beside Ford Island, during the early part of the horizontal bombing attack on the ships moored there. Photographed from a Japanese aircraft. Ships seen are (from left to right): USS Nevada; USS Arizona with USS Vestal moored outboard; USS Tennessee with USS West Virginia moored outboard; USS Maryland with USS Oklahoma moored outboard; and U SS Neosho, only partially visible at the extreme right. A bomb has just hit 'Arizona' near the stern, but she has not yet received the bomb that detonated her forward magazines. 'West Virginia' and 'Oklahoma' are gushing oil from their many torpedo hits and are listing to port. Oklahoma´s port deck edge is already under water. 'Nevada' has also been torpedoed. The twisted remains of the destroyer USS SHAW burnin g in floating drydock at Pearl Harbor after the attack.
