75th anniversary...
Battleship Row on the day that lives in infamy.
It's still here. Seventy-five years later, the U.S.S. Arizona is still resting on the seafloor in Pearl Harbor, asleep in gray, silty water, Jeremy Berlin reports on nationalgeographic. com.
It's been there since December 7, 1941, when 353 Japanese planes mounted a surprise assault on American naval forces stationed in Hawaii. The attack killed 2,403 United States personnel, injured 1,178, drew the United States into World War II, and altered the course of history forever, Berlin wrote.
