One of those pivotal moments in global history.

And oil still leaks from the USS Arizona, apparently.

And the only ship to survive the attack undamaged, the USS Phoenix, was subsequently sold to Argentina, renamed the General Belgrano, and then sunk by the British....the only ship ever to have been sunk by a nuclear submarine.

This must mean nuclear submarines are terrible if they've only sunk one ship... what a waste of money

Or....you could say that they've been a success in keeping the peace...which afterall, was their primary goal.

It's 'MAD' when you think about it......../
