Today is the 75th anniversary of the “date which will live in infamy.” Three-quarters of a century ago, the sky over Oahu was filled with enemy planes. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor may now be history, but the names of the fallen should never be forgotten.

But while the fiery and horrific death of the USS Arizona and those aboard her is often remembered, the stories of those aboard the USS Oklahoma and the USS Utah – the other two ships that were a “total loss” to the Navy – are often forgotten. Today, let’s remember those brave souls who perished on board their ships as well.

The USS Oklahoma capsized in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Their official website lists 415 sailors and 14 Marines as casualties. The worst part is that men drowned in the capsized wreck because they were trapped under the water. 32 men were able to be rescued by cutting through the hull of the ship. Horrifically, the banging from other trapped and doomed men continued for 3 days. An interview in 2013 with USS Oklahoma survivor Paul Goodyear recounts the horror of the attack, and then the horror of knowing your crewmates are dying and cannot be saved.
