The fact that they give the veterans of each ship lost in the Pacific War the chance to have their remains interred alongside their comrades is incredibly moving. Whoever authorized that, I applaud you.
My Grandfather's brother died on the USS California. RIP John Andrew Jr Blount. My Grandfather joined the military and was apart of the European theatre starting with the D-Day landings.
My grandfather was actually stationed in Pearl Harbor during the attack. He was a U.S. Navy Master Chief and enlisted as soon as WWII broke out. He survived the attack. He died of old age and had his ashes scattered in the waters of Pearl Harbor. I think I was about 6 or 7 years old when I went out into Pearl Harbor on a private boat as my father scattered his ashes into the water so the #1 spot on this list really hits close to home.
Nice story thank you. My grandfather was a civilian living on Oahu and working at Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, 41. My grandmother thought he died. Praise God for your story. Day of Infamy indeed
My great grandfather brother ship left not long before the attack in not sure what ship it was but he also survived I do kno the remains of his ship was sent to Venezuela and used the engines as a power plant for a factory I think
“Toes Tora Tora” is hands down the best movie ever made on Pearl Harbor and the events leading to war. And Yamato was also against war with the United States, he believed Japan could never win a protracted war with an industrial power like the United States but when given his orders he did his best by trying to cripple the US Fleet in the opening blows.
You are correct there! Yamamoto was completely against going to war. He spent time in the States and knew that the people there were proud and just. In fact, Yamamoto's final line in the movie was "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve." Yamamoto knew what the US was capable of and knew that the Japanese didn't stand a chance against them. I agree with my dad when he told me that Yamamoto was a tragic character in this whole thing.
Lucy Herrick Very true. The exuberant returning pilots noticed how he wasn't as celebrative and festive as everyone else and that's when he said that. Both of my grandfathers served in WWII and they both had one thing to say about the Japanese - their Navy, in spite of their Pearl Harbor attack, still maintained some true honor and mutual respect for their foes while the Japanese land forces were absolutely brutal and savage beyond what was needed and had zero respect or humanity in their campaigns. Not just against the allies or Nanking, but to every island and peoples they invaded and subjugated. From Philippines to the tribes of Borneo. They were remorseless butchers of every civilian populace where they conquered. That alone garnered so much support for the allies from the local tribes, villages, cities, and towns. Even the ones that had little love for Aussies still totally helped them against the Japanese Army due to their rapes, torture, butchering, enslavement, and wanton cruelty toward them. Anyone deemed unneeded or unable to work or fill any purpose were liquidated. Same with POWs. It wasn't just Nanking. They'd take live people, the them up, and use them for practice on bayonet ranges and other cruel shit.
Lucy Herrick And his prewar conjectures (Japan would “run wild” for about 6 months but was fucked if it wasn’t over by then) ended up being pretty much spot-on.
2 years ago today I was on the USS Arizona Memorial and there really was no need to be instructed to remain silent... the instant you set foot on the memorial you just loose all ability of speech as you realize just where you're standing, and what happened there. There are truly no words that will ever be capable of describing the feeling... and seeing the oil still rising from the watery tomb just ampliefies it 10 fold
I wish everyone felt that way. I didn’t go on the attack anniversary but that was not my experience. Many Japanese tourist were taking selfies and laughing.
That sounds like a sacred, incredible experience. I hear that even to this day, 80 years later, there is still oil that leaks from the USS Arizona. They’re called the tears of Arizona or black tears 😓
There are details you know that most people don't. It's kinda interesting what would qualify on this list... if it's huge it's likely known. If it's small it's not important enough but still obscure.
I'm Japanese, and I'm sorry for all the foolish and violent choices and acts by our ancestors. But I do hope everyone understands that everyone has lost something, or a lot from the war.
隻腕 [salfare] you should not be sorry for the actions of your ancestors who you could not control. As long as you understand why it was wrong and why it should never be repeated.
No need to apologize. You had no control over it. Both our ancestors have been foolish. Its sad what war does to people, and it sucks that it took two atomic bombs to end the war in the Pacific. I am grateful that today the US and Japan are great friends and allies. A very beautiful country with a very rich culture and heritage Japan is.
I have forgiven Japan. It was Tojo's fault, not Japan's. My grandfather spent time in Japan when he was in the Air Force. I never got the chance to properly thank him for his service. As tribute, I chose to enlist in the Air Force

I was born on December 7th and grew up with getting the response, every time I mentioned my birthday, that December 7th was the day of infamy. I knew about Pearl harbor when I was very young and felt connected to it in a way. My great uncle was killed in action at Pearl Harbor. In January of this year I had gone to Pearl Harbor to visit and visit the memorials. I got to go to the USS Arizona memorial and saw my uncle's name on the wall. It was very emotional. I am thankful for the men and women that served then and now.
Every American should visit the Memorial. I've visited Pearl Harbor Memorial and Vietnam Memorial in D. C.. Both left a lasting impression on me, I will never ever forget as long as I live the feelings I felt on those days. A very quite somber mood permeates through both. Remember those who gave theire lives so we Americans can all enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Thank you Gentleman, Father's, Sons, Brothers. Thank you.
they should've mentioned the fact that 3 sailors of the USS West Virginia were trapped alive in the sunken ship, and by the time the ship was raised and searched, the recovery teams found the bodies with a calendar that was marked up to 16 days after the attack, now that is a haunting story
I recently got to visit Pearl Harbor in September of 2018. Sadly, the Arizona memorial was closed due to “structural damage.” But it was still very emotionally moving to be there.
Personally would have mentioned the USS Phoenix, only ship to come out of pearl habour unharmed, fought in the pacific, survived and was later sold to the Argentinians who renamed it ARA Belgrano where it became the only ship in history to be sunk by a nuclear submariane
Actually, the Neosho was an Oiler that had survived the battle and was with the USN for a while until the Japanese sunk her in Coral Sea after the Japanese thought they found a Carrier but it was just a Destroyer and a Tanker.
@Ben Sal yes mate in the Falklands war. And yes it did survive the japanese aerial bombardment of pearl harbour as it was sailing out of the harbour while under attack. Her captain beached her so she wouldn't block the mouth of the harbour if sunk only to be sold of to South americas best and be sunk by a royal navy submarine. Serves the Argentines right for making Royal marines lie face down and then filmed their embarrassment until the British prime minister ordered a force to the islands to sort it out.
@@markroclawski3626 Sir. you are thinking of the battleship USS Nevada. On 7 December 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor the USS Phoenix was anchored north east of Ford Island near Solace. Observers on board 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. Phoenix escaped unharmed and shortly after noon was underway to join the cruisers St. Louis and Detroit and several destroyers in an impromptu task force searching for the enemy aircraft carriers.
I had the privilege of visiting the Valor in the Pacific memorial when i was in 8th grade.I have always been a history buff and I was obsessed with Pearl Harbor and WWII. When they say its a moving experience thats no joke. I left a different kid. It wasn't 'oh this is soooo cool " anymore. Standing there looking down at the Arizona and the oil slick on the water in almost complete silence despite the fact that i as surrounded by other people I got it... this really happened to real people.It wasn't cool anymore it became so much more than just facts I could rattle off. It was incredibly powerful.
I made a visit to the USS Arizona, what an emotional, painful experience than and even today i tear up....but back than .not a dry eye, crying strangers, i wasnt prepared ...when you visit this awesome sight get ready for a time of such silence from everyone around you. Its awful our country was caught by such surprise, we have done the same to many countries. We have made visits to many memorial sites around the world, and its the same tragic feeling that hits your bodies core. One thing i always walk away with, we as humans are awful..
I actually went to Pearl Harbor and went to the USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii, and was heartbroken. There is a wall dedicated to all the names of the identified men in the ship, and you could see the top of the ship and oil coming out, still. The USS Arizona will never be forgotten. I also went ON the USS Missouri (the only ship that didn’t sink) and could see the cabins, dining areas, and steam rooms and etc... It was all heartbreaking and so sad. I hope this never happens again.
USS Missouri (BB-63) was launched on 29 January 1944, more than two years after the Pearl Harbor attack. She went to Pearl Harbor to serve as a museum after her second decommissioning in 1992 and you're right, she still hasn't sunk. LOL.
Additional fact: There were many Japanese-Americans serving in the armed forces at Pearl Harbor. After the attack, they participated in search and rescue operations as well as guard duty until they were stripped of their weapons and rejected from service following the classification of anyone of Japanese ancestry as enemy aliens. They continued to support the war effort by forming a volunteer group and this group would become the core of what would become the 100/442 Regimental Combat Team; a segregated unit of Japanese-Americans. Their unit would serve with distinction across North Africa and Europe, and it is considered one of the most decorated units in Army history.
Not soldiers - SAILORS! She wrongly said “soldiers” in reference to “sailors” who survived Pearl Harbor having their cremated remains buried by being submerged beneath the gun turret of the ship they were on when the attack happened!
There's a new documentary called Elvis and the USS Arizona which goes into great detail about his involvement in securing money and putting public pressure on Kennedy to allocate the rest to building the memorial. It's really fascinating and in some ways, really sad that it took so much work to make sure the memorial was built considering it was only 20 years after the attack when most of the American public lived through it.
My Grandfather was there during the attack. He was in the Army. He went on to fight the remainder of WWII. Though severely wounded, he did survive the war.
They weren't aiming for Oil or Repair Fields, they wanted to only immobilize the USN for 6 Months and Sink a Battleship since they had planned a campaign in Oceania to capture some small Islands in order to gain access to the Oil, However they would have had to pass through the Philipines which was a US Territory I believe at the time. So the only reasonable plan at the time was to just sink Ships. Really they got like 7 or so hits on the West Verginia with Torpedoes because the started to lose coordination not believing the Americans to fire back.
TacticalTrap they weren’t aiming for it. They just needed to damage the ships for at least 6 months. The repair and oil fields therefore weren’t even considered
You are correct, The loss of 8 battleships was devastating, BUT, to leave the entire harbor and facility operational was immensely stupid. The U.S. Navy was operating out of Pearl within 2 days, all of the Cruisers, Destroyers, Submarines and Carriers were still operational out of Pearl Harbor. Most of the remaining battle fleet was at sea within two days. The day after Pearl the Carriers arrived, were re-fueled and re-supplied and were back at sea within 2 days. Air operations also were back on line within days and Hawaii was receiving aircraft from the mainland. Had the IJN taken out the fuel depot and repair facilities, and air fields the U.S. would not have been able to send the carrier task forces to the Coral Sea, nor probably even Midway. The U.S. certainly would not have been able to repair the Yorktown before Midway. Someone needs to explain how the Japanese had enough planes to bomb barracks, hangers and out lying airfields and not enough to take out the fuel depot, repair docks and command buildings? Strategically, it was a monumental failure, tactically, it was a successful surprise attack. Very one-dimensional thinking.
dspsblyuth i am a united states sailor. Missile Technician submarine fleet. Diminish in what way? How? Tell me. They're 5 branches. Army Navy Marine Corps Air force and Coast Guard. And the proper term for all as follows: Soldier Sailor Marine Airman and Guardsmen. Those are the proper terms for those who serve in each respective branch. I am not a soldier, I am a sailor. Go fuck yourself.
True Fact- one of the ships (can't remember) one of the rooms never got flooded and several survivors were stuck, they all died sometime later. During a search of the ship they found it along with a calender with days past the 7th.
WatchMojo, I must say I am quite happy with this video. More times than are comfortable ya'll kinda get the historical material wrong or easily percieved wrong (Shipwreck episode im looking at you >_>) but for a historic only video, it was practically spot on ^_^ The only complaint was Yamamoto was painted like he wanted war, which wasn't said but just not said otherwise. And sure there are some things I would have liked to have seen on the list like USS Oklahoma sank on the way to the scrap yards, but I mean people who actually complain about something not being on here should realize how much you peeps had to squeeze in. Congrats
Today is the day.. I was born and raised in Honolulu and I can’t help but feel extremely bitter about this event. Is it wrong to feel such resentment even though it has been 80 years? I feel so immature but I really can’t deny it.
You didn’t mention the reason they attacked Pearl Harbor though? The attack was in retaliation to the trade embargo on oil. They cut off Japan’s supply route to oil, and without oil Japan would face a crushing defeat and invasion. The only way for them to survive was to sink the American navy blockading their supply route and get to the oil ASAP. It was literally do or die. But most people think it was unprovoked. That includes Watchmojo, apparently.
You realize the usa cut off Japan’s oil supply because they were invading and causing hell in asia and the United States didn’t agree with their actions
tamethat5trange of course the did. It’s totally logical. Not to mention they were allies with Nazi Germany, who were AT WAR with the US. I’m not trying to justify what Japan did, any act of war is wrong, and they did a lot of fucked up shit in China and Korea. But that’s not what I said, is it? All I’m saying is, the general understanding of the event by most Americans is “Japan attacked us for no reason because they’re evil and cowardly and were so stupid they thought they could beat the great United States of America”, when there was an actual reason and objective to attack, as well as things America did that led to the attack. All I’m saying man.
Well actually Germany didn’t declare war on the United States until after pearl but common knowledge of the United States didn’t really care or know of the oil embargo so to most Americans this was a surprise attack with no meaning
This is widely held belief, but incorrect. Just look at the U.S.S. Arizona, at the time of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona had a complement of 1,512 sailors and marines, 1,177 men were killed that day with over 350 wounded. That is nearly all of the men assigned to the ship. So how many were at luau's that day? Kimmel had and upgraded state of readiness in place with standing orders. Everyone knew war was coming, just not when. How can anyone say MOST sailors had a day off when over 90% of the ships company were killed or wounded and OBVIOUSLY on board at the time? The Japanese attacked on Sunday because they thought it would be the time the U.S. would be able to mount the weakest defense. Your assertion simply does not agree with known historical facts.
I am thankful that you people that work on these videos it is truly sad that I and my generation for got or don't now that this has happened this makes me very angry the worst of it is that I live in Hawaii. And if you are reading this please like or pin because this isn't right for the people of the U.S to just forget things like this!!!
Justyn VD so very true, no one really has respect for the Hawaiian islands, I bet if it the attack was on New York, Washington, or Michigan everyone would never forget what happen, but since it was O'ahu, no one really cared
Juan Ayala The atrocities that the US did at Pearl Harbor? I’m pretty sure Japan attacked Pearl Harbor so... But if you’re talking about the pacific war, then people should also remember the atrocities committed by Japan (which were much worse btw), I’m sure China remembers.
Nanking Massacre FAKE By your name, please don’t tell me you’re a conspiracy theorist, because I won’t be able to fight with your made up logic if you are
The Japanese submariner captured when he beached his boat did not return to Japan after the war. He was shamed and ostracized. He did work for Toyota, but in South America. I believe he did return when he was old and forgotten by most.
LodiTX he did return to Japan soon after the war, but he was shunned, so that's why he got a job with Toyota (a Japanese company HQ in Japan) and went to work the Brazil arm. Returned to Japan once more in 1983 until he died, when people no longer shunned him, so you are correct in that regard.
Don’t know if this is considered an “unknown fact” but I thought that I would add that the Japanese choose not to attack the oil fields at Pearl Harbor, which proved to be a strategic blunder. The fuel stored in those fields would later fuel the ships at the battles of the coral sea and midway. Also on the brothers subject; correct me if I’m wrong but, I thought the driving incident behind the “Sole Survivor” policy was the loss of the 5 Sullivan brothers on the USS Juneau during the first naval battle of Guadalcanal.
It was infact not common to put blood relatives on the same ships or units during wartime. They happened to be on the Arizona because the US was not at war.
@Giulio Aprati. While i understand who here is a place where many people comment without knowing, your comentary is literally the worst in every sense. Mainly because it was certainly not Yamamoto who wanted a war, and every decision have to be aproved by the Emperor, especially that of going to war, under the Emperor was the Prime Minister Tojo, then there was the Army and finally the Navy under Osami, and Toyoda, both followers of the prince Fushimi.
Correction: The USS Arizona Memorial Does NOT Sit On Top Of The Ship. It Straddles The Ship, Never Making Contact In ANY WAY, Out Of Respect For The Dead.
@ James Edwards. Did you also know that as early as 1960 Elvis Presley was doing fundraising concerts to raise the funds necessary to put the Arizona memorial in place. That says a lot for respect and the dignity that all those men and women who were killed thay day deserve. Does it not?
The only problem with this video is that the narrator kept calling the sailors at Pearl Harbor. Not trying to start any TH-cam scuffle, just wanted to let watchmojo know there is a big difference between soldiers(army) and sailors(navy). Again, just friendly info. Not trying to be a dick. P.S. Airforce has Airmen and marines are just marines (duh)
FDR had written ..".a day I'll remember like it was yesterday" before changing it to "a day that will live in infamy." when an aide pointed out that it was "yesterday".
Here is one more, The USS Nevada, BB-36, was the only Battleship to get underway, you can see her at 2:22 (I'm from a small town in NV so she means a lot to me and to my state as a whole, even though nobody really knows about her too much.) She was, as a result, targeted by several Japanese pilots and consequently, the captain had to beach her so she wouldn't block the channel. Later she slipped off the beach due to flooding and sank to the bottom. She was then refloated and put through intensive modernization as she was the first "Standard type" battleship of the US Navy. She was also armed with a few of the main 14 inch guns from the USS Arizona. Nevada was also the only battleship to be both at Pearl Harbor during the attack and the landings at Normandy, serving as flagship for Utah beach and provided artillery cover for paratroopers farther inland.
Survivors of the Arizona have the option of being buried with their fellow SAILORS....not their fellow soldiers as stated at the 8:01 mark. If you are going to do history videos, learn the difference between soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.
You forgot to mention there were 5 midget subs and one of the subs actually had a shot from a ship and it is visible near the conn tower. The Japanese also improvised on how they used the torpedoes during the attack, since they couldn't straight up drop them into the water.
You missed one. The USS Hoga, YT-146 is the last surviving floating vessel from the attack. It was a fire fighting tug boat that helped save Pearl Harbor by helping beach the Nevada. It now resides in Arkansas.
It was the deaths of the 5 Sullivan brothers onboard the USS Juneau that caused the US Military to make the Lone Survivor act. This states the no siblings will serve in the same units and that should the other sibling become KIAs, the last survivor gets a free ticket home
It's stupid but, if I had a brother and went to war with him, I would prefer dying in combat with him than learning his ship was sunk thousands of miles away where i could have done nothing. I get why brothers keep joining the same ships.
Jonathan Vasquez ‘twas a joke, but in all seriousness, really? That’s pretty interesting and I didn’t know that. Does that include aircraft carrier pilots? Or is that exactly what you were referring to?
Christopher Summerville ah sorry I guess that flew over my head (get it?? ha). But yes, naval pilots are still sailors, as they are Navy officers, just are Marine pilots are still Marines. They both went through their respective service's training and earned the titles of sailors and Marines before they started flying a plane. Today, we do have Navy and Marine pilots on carriers, but I am not wholly sure if we had Marine pilots assigned back in the day.
One other thing I know about this video is that the thumbnail for this video shows Spruance class destroyers being bombed - which were 1970s era ships.
Thumbnail s taken from relatively new movie pearl harbour not many 1942 ships still floating and they needed the harbour to look full so modern ships they are
only the Arizona and Oklahoma were sunk also some of the main guns were pulled off the Arizona and used to replaced the damaged guns on the Nevada therefore Arizona did get into the war in a way
Right?! Fuck History! All that doomed to repeat it garbage. Who cares, theyre to lazy to clean up after themselves. I say, remove the ship and put a sweet ocean view Hipster Cafe with plenty of USB ports! Scarfs and fedoras mandatory!
It is the resting place of about 1500 soldiers and because the ship was torn in half and sunk with a full fuel tank, it is a biological hazard. That and no one want to go a busy 1500 men.

Her captain beached her so she wouldn't block the mouth of the harbour if sunk only to be sold of to South americas best and be sunk by a royal navy submarine. Serves the Argentines right for making Royal marines lie face down and then filmed their embarrassment until the British prime minister ordered a force to the islands to sort it out.
@@markroclawski3626 Sir. you are thinking of the battleship USS Nevada. On 7 December 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor the USS Phoenix was anchored north east of Ford Island near Solace. Observers on board 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. Phoenix escaped unharmed and shortly after noon was underway to join the cruisers St. Louis and Detroit and several destroyers in an impromptu task force searching for the enemy aircraft carriers.
I had the privilege of visiting the Valor in the Pacific memorial when i was in 8th grade.I have always been a history buff and I was obsessed with Pearl Harbor and WWII. When they say its a moving experience thats no joke. I left a different kid. It wasn't 'oh this is soooo cool " anymore. Standing there looking down at the Arizona and the oil slick on the water in almost complete silence despite the fact that i as surrounded by other people I got it... this really happened to real people.It wasn't cool anymore it became so much more than just facts I could rattle off. It was incredibly powerful.
I made a visit to the USS Arizona, what an emotional, painful experience than and even today
i tear up....but back than .not a dry eye, crying strangers, i wasnt prepared ...when you visit this awesome sight get ready
for a time of such silence from everyone around you.
Its awful our country was caught by such surprise, we have done the same to many countries. We have made visits to many memorial sites around the world, and its the same tragic feeling that hits your bodies core. One thing i always walk away with, we as humans are awful..
Rip to all God bless thank you for your service
Never knew Elvis did that ...wow God bless Elvis !
I actually went to Pearl Harbor and went to the USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii, and was heartbroken. There is a wall dedicated to all the names of the identified men in the ship, and you could see the top of the ship and oil coming out, still. The USS Arizona will never be forgotten. I also went ON the USS Missouri (the only ship that didn’t sink) and could see the cabins, dining areas, and steam rooms and etc... It was all heartbreaking and so sad. I hope this never happens again.
What do you mean "the only ship that didn't sink"? The Missouri wasn't at Pearl when it was attacked in 1941.
USS Missouri (BB-63) was launched on 29 January 1944, more than two years after the Pearl Harbor attack. She went to Pearl Harbor to serve as a museum after her second decommissioning in 1992 and you're right, she still hasn't sunk. LOL.
Additional fact: There were many Japanese-Americans serving in the armed forces at Pearl Harbor. After the attack, they participated in search and rescue operations as well as guard duty until they were stripped of their weapons and rejected from service following the classification of anyone of Japanese ancestry as enemy aliens. They continued to support the war effort by forming a volunteer group and this group would become the core of what would become the 100/442 Regimental Combat Team; a segregated unit of Japanese-Americans. Their unit would serve with distinction across North Africa and Europe, and it is considered one of the most decorated units in Army history.
Nanking Massacre FAKE What do you mean?
Not true at all
Japanese American soldiers of the 100/442nd became known as nisei warriors.
Regarding #1: Service members in the US Navy are called Sailors, not soldiers.
Daniel Carter, AW3, USN
Not soldiers - SAILORS! She wrongly said “soldiers” in reference to “sailors” who survived Pearl Harbor having their cremated remains buried by being submerged beneath the gun turret of the ship they were on when the attack happened!
Damn I forgot today was the anniversary of the attack. Rip to the brave men and women who died.
There's a new documentary called Elvis and the USS Arizona which goes into great detail about his involvement in securing money and putting public pressure on Kennedy to allocate the rest to building the memorial. It's really fascinating and in some ways, really sad that it took so much work to make sure the memorial was built considering it was only 20 years after the attack when most of the American public lived through it.
My Grandfather was there during the attack. He was in the Army.
He went on to fight the remainder of WWII.
Though severely wounded, he did survive the war.
America- it’s not my problem.
Japan- *flick*

Jordon Vandermey nah they destroyed that beach we destroyed their two big cities
You know...they do have clips of the ACTUAL December 8th speech.
#1: It was a MASSIVE failure for the japanese. They missed the oil fields, and repair fields.
They weren't aiming for Oil or Repair Fields, they wanted to only immobilize the USN for 6 Months and Sink a Battleship since they had planned a campaign in Oceania to capture some small Islands in order to gain access to the Oil, However they would have had to pass through the Philipines which was a US Territory I believe at the time. So the only reasonable plan at the time was to just sink Ships. Really they got like 7 or so hits on the West Verginia with Torpedoes because the started to lose coordination not believing the Americans to fire back.
TacticalTrap they weren’t aiming for it. They just needed to damage the ships for at least 6 months. The repair and oil fields therefore weren’t even considered
And the aircraft carriers which they thought were in the harbour.
You are correct, The loss of 8 battleships was devastating, BUT, to leave the entire harbor and facility operational was immensely stupid. The U.S. Navy was operating out of Pearl within 2 days, all of the Cruisers, Destroyers, Submarines and Carriers were still operational out of Pearl Harbor. Most of the remaining battle fleet was at sea within two days. The day after Pearl the Carriers arrived, were re-fueled and re-supplied and were back at sea within 2 days. Air operations also were back on line within days and Hawaii was receiving aircraft from the mainland. Had the IJN taken out the fuel depot and repair facilities, and air fields the U.S. would not have been able to send the carrier task forces to the Coral Sea, nor probably even Midway. The U.S. certainly would not have been able to repair the Yorktown before Midway. Someone needs to explain how the Japanese had enough planes to bomb barracks, hangers and out lying airfields and not enough to take out the fuel depot, repair docks and command buildings? Strategically, it was a monumental failure, tactically, it was a successful surprise attack. Very one-dimensional thinking.
@@6handicap604 Well thought out response. It's nice to see your view brought into a discussion like this.
When the original speech exists why show me a clip from the movie??!
Preston Oparaocha ikr
Ya. All I can think is they're usually a movie topic group so they wanted to use movie footage.
I remember coming home for lunch and my mother telling me about the attack.
Sailors died on those ships. Not soldiers. It means a lot to us. Please don't call fallen sailors soldiers.
jmans56 it’s the same thing idiot. Nice job trying to diminish the sailors that risk(ed) their lives too.
Everyone in the military is a soldier.
dspsblyuth i am a united states sailor. Missile Technician submarine fleet. Diminish in what way? How? Tell me. They're 5 branches. Army Navy Marine Corps Air force and Coast Guard. And the proper term for all as follows: Soldier Sailor Marine Airman and Guardsmen. Those are the proper terms for those who serve in each respective branch. I am not a soldier, I am a sailor. Go fuck yourself.
I assumed you were in a different branch and considered sailors beneath soldiers.
And I’m an alcoholic so I tend to respond with anger
And NEVER call a US Marine ANYTHING other than a US Marine.
'Midget submarine disabled'? You mean Little person submarine handicapable! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Midget Triggered
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
With today's PC pukes and SJW's, I'm surprised it's not called a dwarf submarine because midget is offensive
Aaaaaaand welcome to the joke.
Michael Lord I AM THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE TRIGGERED
True Fact- one of the ships (can't remember) one of the rooms never got flooded and several survivors were stuck, they all died sometime later. During a search of the ship they found it along with a calender with days past the 7th.
Yes the West Virginia, have three sailors alive until at least, December 26,
Maybe don't use clips of the movie Pearl Harbor. Feel like it cheapens an important subject.
DIsabledgamer jh Specially because it had a lot of inaccuracies like a lot of bio films.
Yea because we have so much footage of the real attack to use.
to be fair they used clips of the actual events, we didn't get clips of Ben Afflek or Josh Hartnet.
DIsabledgamer jh agreed
Tora Tora Tora would have been better.
Didn't know you guys did documentaries. Good goin'!
Knew all this, though.
The navy has sailors, please correct your verbiage. Thank you in advance.
WatchMojo, I must say I am quite happy with this video. More times than are comfortable ya'll kinda get the historical material wrong or easily percieved wrong (Shipwreck episode im looking at you >_>) but for a historic only video, it was practically spot on ^_^ The only complaint was Yamamoto was painted like he wanted war, which wasn't said but just not said otherwise. And sure there are some things I would have liked to have seen on the list like USS Oklahoma sank on the way to the scrap yards, but I mean people who actually complain about something not being on here should realize how much you peeps had to squeeze in. Congrats
They're not soldiers, they're Sailors. It's important to the men and women that serve.
Today is the day.. I was born and raised in Honolulu and I can’t help but feel extremely bitter about this event. Is it wrong to feel such resentment even though it has been 80 years? I feel so immature but I really can’t deny it.
You didn’t mention the reason they attacked Pearl Harbor though?
The attack was in retaliation to the trade embargo on oil. They cut off Japan’s supply route to oil, and without oil Japan would face a crushing defeat and invasion.
The only way for them to survive was to sink the American navy blockading their supply route and get to the oil ASAP.
It was literally do or die. But most people think it was unprovoked. That includes Watchmojo, apparently.
Kaiza You make it seem as if their acts were justified.
You realize the usa cut off Japan’s oil supply because they were invading and causing hell in asia and the United States didn’t agree with their actions
tamethat5trange of course the did. It’s totally logical.
Not to mention they were allies with Nazi Germany, who were AT WAR with the US.
I’m not trying to justify what Japan did, any act of war is wrong, and they did a lot of fucked up shit in China and Korea.
But that’s not what I said, is it? All I’m saying is, the general understanding of the event by most Americans is “Japan attacked us for no reason because they’re evil and cowardly and were so stupid they thought they could beat the great United States of America”, when there was an actual reason and objective to attack, as well as things America did that led to the attack.
All I’m saying man.
Kaiza that’s actually a great fact, I didn’t know that. Gives the whole thing a slightly different perspective. Thanks.
Well actually Germany didn’t declare war on the United States until after pearl but common knowledge of the United States didn’t really care or know of the oil embargo so to most Americans this was a surprise attack with no meaning
Number 1 is honestly so emotional to me for some reason. It’s so beautiful, touching and so much more.
Did you know that japan attacked on a Sunday on purpose because they knew that most soldiers had a day off on Sunday?
Pk_Lo *sailors
Pk_Lo also the ships were in bay on Sunday that’s the main reason along with the sailers were off
*Sailor & Marine*
This is widely held belief, but incorrect. Just look at the U.S.S. Arizona, at the time of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona had a complement of 1,512 sailors and marines, 1,177 men were killed that day with over 350 wounded. That is nearly all of the men assigned to the ship. So how many were at luau's that day? Kimmel had and upgraded state of readiness in place with standing orders. Everyone knew war was coming, just not when. How can anyone say MOST sailors had a day off when over 90% of the ships company were killed or wounded and OBVIOUSLY on board at the time? The Japanese attacked on Sunday because they thought it would be the time the U.S. would be able to mount the weakest defense. Your assertion simply does not agree with known historical facts.
Sailors...
Thanks for making this!
I am thankful that you people that work on these videos it is truly sad that I and my generation for got or don't now that this has happened this makes me very angry the worst of it is that I live in Hawaii. And if you are reading this please like or pin because this isn't right for the people of the U.S to just forget things like this!!!
Justyn VD so very true, no one really has respect for the Hawaiian islands, I bet if it the attack was on New York, Washington, or Michigan everyone would never forget what happen, but since it was O'ahu, no one really cared
Justyn VD Um, who has forgotten about Pearl Harbor, it’s one of the most known attacks in American history
I wished more people knew about the atrocities the U.S. did there since pearl harbor is so well known.
Juan Ayala The atrocities that the US did at Pearl Harbor? I’m pretty sure Japan attacked Pearl Harbor so... But if you’re talking about the pacific war, then people should also remember the atrocities committed by Japan (which were much worse btw), I’m sure China remembers.
Nanking Massacre FAKE By your name, please don’t tell me you’re a conspiracy theorist, because I won’t be able to fight with your made up logic if you are
What about the USS Nevada. The only battleship to try for the ocean during the attack. Best underappreciated story ever.
Top 10 Underreported News Stories in 2017
I held my first re-enlistment on USS Arizona Memorial in 1986...
The Japanese submariner captured when he beached his boat did not return to Japan after the war. He was shamed and ostracized. He did work for Toyota, but in South America. I believe he did return when he was old and forgotten by most.
LodiTX he did return to Japan soon after the war, but he was shunned, so that's why he got a job with Toyota (a Japanese company HQ in Japan) and went to work the Brazil arm. Returned to Japan once more in 1983 until he died, when people no longer shunned him, so you are correct in that regard.
this helps me a lot for my essay thanks :)
You used the worst movie ever to depict the attack. Tora Tora Tora was better.
Hell yeah
Never forget the day that lived in Infamy.
December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy
A day on which America declared
"Omae wa mou shindeiru" on Japan
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
Don’t know if this is considered an “unknown fact” but I thought that I would add that the Japanese choose not to attack the oil fields at Pearl Harbor, which proved to be a strategic blunder. The fuel stored in those fields would later fuel the ships at the battles of the coral sea and midway. Also on the brothers subject; correct me if I’m wrong but, I thought the driving incident behind the “Sole Survivor” policy was the loss of the 5 Sullivan brothers on the USS Juneau during the first naval battle of Guadalcanal.
It was infact not common to put blood relatives on the same ships or units during wartime. They happened to be on the Arizona because the US was not at war.
Yamamoto wanted to destroy the facilities and repair shops. They didn't attack the oil and dry docks.
If I'm not mistaken, his speech went on to say, "an infamy this nation will revenge."
Emperor Hirohito himself was against the attack. Admiral Yamamoto was the mind behind it
Meaning he nuked his own country essentially.
@Giulio Aprati. While i understand who here is a place where many people comment without knowing, your comentary is literally the worst in every sense. Mainly because it was certainly not Yamamoto who wanted a war, and every decision have to be aproved by the Emperor, especially that of going to war, under the Emperor was the Prime Minister Tojo, then there was the Army and finally the Navy under Osami, and Toyoda, both followers of the prince Fushimi.

Correction: The USS Arizona Memorial Does NOT Sit On Top Of The Ship. It Straddles The Ship, Never Making Contact In ANY WAY, Out Of Respect For The Dead.
@ James Edwards. Did you also know that as early as 1960 Elvis Presley was doing fundraising concerts to raise the funds necessary to put the Arizona memorial in place. That says a lot for respect and the dignity that all those men and women who were killed thay day deserve. Does it not?
The only problem with this video is that the narrator kept calling the sailors at Pearl Harbor. Not trying to start any TH-cam scuffle, just wanted to let watchmojo know there is a big difference between soldiers(army) and sailors(navy). Again, just friendly info. Not trying to be a dick.
P.S. Airforce has Airmen and marines are just marines (duh)
FDR had written ..".a day I'll remember like it was yesterday" before changing it to "a day that will live in infamy." when an aide pointed out that it was "yesterday".
How can you know what I do or don't know?
Shlama wama ding dong
If you are typical American is a safe bet that the vast majority of things fall under the don't know side of things
Here is one more,
The USS Nevada, BB-36, was the only Battleship to get underway, you can see her at 2:22 (I'm from a small town in NV so she means a lot to me and to my state as a whole, even though nobody really knows about her too much.) She was, as a result, targeted by several Japanese pilots and consequently, the captain had to beach her so she wouldn't block the channel. Later she slipped off the beach due to flooding and sank to the bottom. She was then refloated and put through intensive modernization as she was the first "Standard type" battleship of the US Navy. She was also armed with a few of the main 14 inch guns from the USS Arizona. Nevada was also the only battleship to be both at Pearl Harbor during the attack and the landings at Normandy, serving as flagship for Utah beach and provided artillery cover for paratroopers farther inland.
Watchmojo yall are so in sync with me ive been watching a bunch of WW2 stuff and look whats uploaded today
Kam Yoncé lool same
Well it’s the anniversary
I've been to the memorial at the Uss Arizona, was only 12 at the time but it is pretty intense looking at all the history there
Survivors of the Arizona have the option of being buried with their fellow SAILORS....not their fellow soldiers as stated at the 8:01 mark. If you are going to do history videos, learn the difference between soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.
But she voted against the war and stuck to her ‘Guns’ ...anyone else see that irony?
Buried with there fellow “soldiers”? You mean Sailors?
thank you for posting this!!

True
Bro you probably not finished with school and you be making these claims
6 of my great uncles had died at Pearl Harbor
I knew all of these. “You didn’t know” is incorrect this time.
You forgot to mention there were 5 midget subs and one of the subs actually had a shot from a ship and it is visible near the conn tower. The Japanese also improvised on how they used the torpedoes during the attack, since they couldn't straight up drop them into the water.
Where's the one where Michael Bay made it disaster porn?
You missed one. The USS Hoga, YT-146 is the last surviving floating vessel from the attack. It was a fire fighting tug boat that helped save Pearl Harbor by helping beach the Nevada. It now resides in Arkansas.
I feel bad for the father who lost his daughters ashes on the Utah.😭😢
It was the deaths of the 5 Sullivan brothers onboard the USS Juneau that caused the US Military to make the Lone Survivor act. This states the no siblings will serve in the same units and that should the other sibling become KIAs, the last survivor gets a free ticket home
Sailors not Soldiers.
For number 6 Yamamoto didn't want to fight the US either but did it because he was ordered to.
It's stupid but, if I had a brother and went to war with him, I would prefer dying in combat with him than learning his ship was sunk thousands of miles away where i could have done nothing.
I get why brothers keep joining the same ships.
gwanael34 they weren’t at war though
+Pk_Lo They were part of the army and must have thought about it even before they got attacked, why join the same ship then ?
gwanael34 to be close to family? Best place to be with when you are at peace.
+Jonathan Vasquez That's fair. but they must realize it's dangerous and they might see their family die.
I'm sure Alleta Sullivan felt so relieved knowing that when the USS Juneau went down, all five of her sons died together.

Christopher Summerville Naval pilots are still sailors.
Jonathan Vasquez ‘twas a joke, but in all seriousness, really? That’s pretty interesting and I didn’t know that. Does that include aircraft carrier pilots? Or is that exactly what you were referring to?
Christopher Summerville ah sorry I guess that flew over my head (get it?? ha). But yes, naval pilots are still sailors, as they are Navy officers, just are Marine pilots are still Marines. They both went through their respective service's training and earned the titles of sailors and Marines before they started flying a plane. Today, we do have Navy and Marine pilots on carriers, but I am not wholly sure if we had Marine pilots assigned back in the day.

only the Arizona and Oklahoma were sunk also some of the main guns were pulled off the Arizona and used to replaced the damaged guns on the Nevada therefore Arizona did get into the war in a way

Yeah my mom visit Hawaii in 1991 and she told me the same thing.
It is the resting place of about 1500 soldiers and because the ship was torn in half and sunk with a full fuel tank, it is a biological hazard. That and no one want to go a busy 1500 men.
