How This All Got Together

I rolled out of my sack as the bong bong of the general quarters bell sounded for the fourth time this night. I didn't have to dress as we had learned that we could get to our guns faster if we slept in our clothes. I ran up the ladder to the main deck and got to my Battle Station in eleven seconds.

I heard a loud speaker say, "All mounts, stand ready! Bogies at 30 miles and closing."

I got to wondering what I was doing in a spot like this, as a few months before I was in high school in a small town in western New York State. The biggest water I had been in was the old mill pond where we all learned to swim. Believe me, this pond here was a lot bigger, plus it had these damn Kamikazes or Bogies as we called them.

Battleship Arizona's Marines At War

On December 7, 1941, about twenty minutes into the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, an armor-piercing bomb struck the USS Arizona , penetrating four decks before exploding. An immense fire, fed by ammunition and fuel oil, swept through the ship, instantly killing hundreds of men. The Arizona quickly settled to the bottom of the harbor, taking most of her crew of 1,514 with her. Of the 88 Marines assigned to the battleship, only 15 survived. This account of the Arizona ’s Marines on that fateful day, the first to tell their little-known story, also covers the broader history of shipboard Marines as well as the Arizona from her launch in World War I to the dawn of America’s entry into World War II.
