PEARL HARBOR 111
THE AFTERMATH DECEMBER 7–11, 1941
The US Navy lost five battleships and one
harbor tug; 13 other craft were damaged;
188 US aircraft were destroyed and 159 damaged;
2,335 personnel were killed and 1,143 injured.
The Japanese suffered the loss of four midget
submarines and 29 aircraft, with 64 people killed.
The next day, December 8, President Roosevelt
declared war on Japan. In turn, Germany and
Italy declared war on the US on December 11.

Second-wave
attacks

THE SECOND WAVE 8:50–9:30 AM
DECEMBER 7, 1941
The second wave consisted of 171 aircraft in three
groups. The USS Pennsylvania was damaged and the USS
Nevada forced to beach herself, but this time the US
offered up far more effective resistance. A third attack
wave was called off as the Japanese fleet was now in
reach of US land-based bombers. The Japanese did not
complete their objectives, and the US Navy recovered
from the attack sooner than their opponents had hoped.
(^3) DANGER FROM THE AIR
The Japanese Striking Force left Japan
on November 26 and assembled north
of Hawaii. The first attacks came at
7:53 am on December 7, and the second
wave at 8:50 am. The US declared war
on Japan the next day.
