USS Oklahoma: Acts of Valor That Defied Death at Pearl Harbor


When the first torpedo struck USS Oklahoma on December 7, 1941, chaos erupted. Within 12 minutes, nine enemy torpedoes had torn through the battleship’s hull, capsizing it and trapping hundreds of sailors inside. But even in the face of overwhelming destruction, acts of heroism lit up the darkness.

Amid the smoke and sinking steel, Navy Ensign John C. England risked everything, entering the doomed ship three times to save trapped crewmen. On his fourth attempt, he never returned. His name now lives on through the USS England, honoring his courage.

Ensign Francis C. Flaherty and Seaman 1st Class James Richard Ward made the ultimate sacrifice, staying behind in the ship’s turrets, flashlights in hand, guiding their comrades to safety. Their bravery cost them their lives-but earned them the Medal of Honor and warships named in their honor.

As rescuers fought desperately to cut through the overturned hull, 32 sailors were saved, but 429 perished. The USS Oklahoma never returned to battle, but the heroism displayed that day became legend.

Pearl Harbor was a day of devastation-but also of unbreakable courage and selfless sacrifice. Their legacy will never be forgotten.
