I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.
Pearl Harbor Trivia

Just a little test of your WWII knowledge considering today is the 64th anniversary of The Day of Infamy.
What United States ship fired the first shots of WWII for the Americans?
A. U.S.S. Arizona
B. U.S.S. San Francisco
C. U.S.S. Gibson
D. U.S.S. Ward

The San Francisco fired at the submarine right? I think that was the first shot.
-
No the USS Ward
-
ward

well keeping in mind that the war wasnt declared until after pearl harbor i would have to say none of the options. im not sure as of right now which US ship fired the first shots of the “WAR” but i will work on it.
-
In the light of history, it little matters which ship fired the first shot; it more matters whch ship carried the FINAL shot of the war. And that of course would be the Indianapolis.
-
the U.S.S. Ward spotted a submarine periscope and depth charge the sub.
-
wheres the next question?
-
i thought of one, pretty easy though. how did the jaoenese alter thier torpedos to work in the shallow waters of pearl?
-
Wooden fins.
-
They used the long lance torpedo system, advocated for shallow waters learned from the experience that the British used against the Italians at Taranto.
OK next question: which islands other than Oahu were attacked by the Japanese on dec 7th?
