1
00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:03,540
the second wave one swing round from BP

2
00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:07,190
no measures aircraft would go for the
major

3
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:11,389
air bases dotted around the island 198
american's planes

4
00:00:11,389 --> 00:00:14,920
on the ground before they could take all
but this

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,090
was his prime charging problem where the
primary the American Pacific Fleet was

6
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:24,410
tightly clustered actually unsuspecting

7
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:31,449
what would you like to come ok

8
00:00:31,449 --> 00:00:35,649
I'm onboard the carrier is the pilots
brown fresh uniforms and their

9
00:00:35,649 --> 00:00:37,040
traditional headbands

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,980
their ceremony on May loverush and said
their last prayers at the shrine is on

11
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:42,520
board

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,350
minutes later they were of the cruise
ships

13
00:00:46,350 --> 00:01:07,579
lining the deck waving and cheering you

14
00:01:07,579 --> 00:01:11,930
we listen to the radio the American
stations were broadcasting no money

15
00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:15,160
so it seemed they were not aware of any

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:22,970
and then I knew that it was going to be
a sneak attack

17
00:01:22,970 --> 00:01:37,159
the attack on Pearl Harbor we should
chill but the chance

18
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:41,580
parent Pohamba that Sunday morning the
main event on many sailors mines was the

19
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:42,990
flag-raising ceremony

20
00:01:42,990 --> 00:01:47,799
it was the same every time 755 a.m.
ships companies gathered

21
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,560
and five minutes later the flags would
be raised right across the fleet

22
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,640
on board the USS Nevada tied up here
with the other battleships on battleship

23
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,640
row a band was gathering on the deck
preparing to play the national anthem

24
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:08,810
it was now just moments before need to
man up

25
00:02:08,810 --> 00:02:11,810
the USS Nevada the bondsman

26
00:02:11,810 --> 00:02:16,060
still hot way through the national
anthem horrified to see a Japanese plane

27
00:02:16,060 --> 00:02:18,340
release a torpedo today by battleship

28
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:21,720
and get off strafing national
splintering the deck

29
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,580
and shredding the flag

30
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:29,460
under fire themselves the bondsman
finished

31
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:37,200
the national anthem and then dived for
cover

32
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:46,200
airfields barracks and all of america's
great battleships came under attack

33
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,400
just after 8 a.m. a bomb smashed into
the USS Arizona

34
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:59,069
igniting the ammunition store on

35
00:02:59,069 --> 00:03:12,959
down below decks over 1,000 men lost
their lives

36
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,200
the devastation this just only on those
bombs

37
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,390
you think they'll be having not a heavy
steel and

38
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:24,750
when you see those who restructures just
twisted

39
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:27,060
becomes a steal them

40
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:32,710
twist just like you take a strong to
assessing I couldn't believe

41
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:39,480
demanded that the station the nation

42
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:49,659

hundreds of planes have been destroyed
and nearly 2,400 servicemen

47
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:15,159
and civilians had been killed by
attacking Pearl Harbor

48
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,239
the Japanese have made a declaration of
war

49
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:23,259

confidence in his men

66
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:33,900
but he had enormous chance Morales
plummeted

67
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,440
hundreds of planes have been obliterated

68
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880

in spring 1942 the Americans began their
comeback with a daring raid using

80
00:06:47,090 --> 00:06:48,470
aircraft carriers

81
00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:53,139
on board a handful of US pilots led by
Lieutenant Colonel jimmy doolittle

82
00:06:53,139 --> 00:06:56,970

B-twenty five bombers they weighed more
than twelve tons each

85
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:07,740
they were really want designed to take
off from aircraft carriers but for this

86
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:11,560
mission the bombers were transported on
board the USS Hornet with about 700

00:07:49,509 --> 00:07:52,780
having attacked the Japanese mainland
the US Navy

98
00:07:52,780 --> 00:08:02,180
to calm the Japanese Navy at sea com

99
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:07,000
on may the seventh the american aircraft
carriers made their presence felt again

the USS Yorktown in flames out at sea

108
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,940
the Japanese had left the USS Yorktown

109
00:08:57,940 --> 00:09:01,130
ablaze in the water they thought

the date Sun Cup or at the very least
cripple her and pusher attraction

111
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,190
what they didn't realize was that there
been a ferocious struggle to save the

112
00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:13,480
Yorktown

113
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,230

they have to save the Yorktown

116
00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:30,339
for cruise like the old towns hundreds
of miles away from land

117
00:09:30,339 --> 00:09:32,050
knowing how to tackle file
