Pennsylvania......a lucky battleship that survived Pearl Harbor and avoided being converted into a Tub-O class bombardment vessel.

Yep. The CL got away without much damage too. Those DDs wern't as lucky. But whats the one in the topmost dock?

CL is probably Helena. She took a torpedo, which detonation opened up the seams of Oglala tied up alongside, causing her to sink. Untouched by enemy weapons, "She died of fright;" I love that. She was also refloated and put back into service.

The remains of Shaw's bow in floating drydock YFD-2, which was also sunk during the attack, but which was also salvaged and later put back in service.

Not much left of it is there. I always assumed that they gave the name to a newer class of ship.

That picture of the Shaw's bow is actually sort of scary; it's like it was torn off by a giant hand, tossed high into the air and just landed in that dock.

Look at that nice untouched tank farm. Just one little incendiary bomb...

Actually, one bomb could only do one single tank. Each of those storage tanks is surrounded by a berm (visible in the photo) tall enough to completely contain the contents of the tank. A simple logical precaution that is in use in any tank farm you will ever see anywhere.ORIGINAL: Moquia

Would that be the 'dry' torpedos, or the very shallow running topedos? [:D]

Type KABLAMMO! (tm) Torpedoes. If it can't find a floating target, it goes subterranean!

I can take you to one in NJ where this is not the case.

Green peace would have a field day with that pic. I think there is more oil than water in that pic
