Torpedo planes attack “Battleship Row” at about 8:00 a.m. on December 7, seen from a Japanese aircraft. Ships are, from lower left to right: Nevada with flag raised at stern; Arizona with Vestal outboard; Tennessee with West Virginia outboard; Maryland with Oklahoma outboard; Neosho and California. West Virginia, Oklahoma and California have been torpedoed, as marked by ripples and spreading oil, and the first two are listing to port. White smoke in the distance is from Hickam Field. Grey smoke in the center middle distance is from the torpedoed USS Helena, at the Navy Yard’s 1010 dock.
