Pearl Harbor bombing. USS Oklahoma. Rescue crews are shown here working on the upturned hull of the 29,000 ton battleship USS Oklahoma, which capsized in Pearl Harbor after being blasted by Japanese warplanes. Holes were burned through the hull to permit the rescue of some of the men trapped below. Note one of the Oklahoma's launches in the foreground. The battleship, USS Maryland is in the background
