1943 Attack Pearl Virginia January
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941. The image, taken on the 21st of January, 1943, shows the damage inflicted upon three US Navy battleships: the West Virginia, the Tennessee, and the Arizona. The West Virginia, visible in the foreground, has a large hole in its starboard side, while the Tennessee, in the middle ground, displays a more modest but still significant impact on its port side. The Arizona, located in the background, is engulfed in flames and smoke, having been hit in a catastrophic manner that would ultimately lead to its sinking. The attack on Pearl Harbor marked a turning point in World War II, bringing the United States into the conflict and galvanizing public opinion in favor of the war effort. The destruction of these three battleships, symbols of American naval power, served as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the US Pacific Fleet and the need for a robust military response. This historical photograph, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the events that shaped the course of the 20th century. It is a testament to the resilience of the American people and their determination to defend their country in the face of adversity. The image, with its haunting depiction of the damaged battleships, serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the US military during World War II and beyond.
