Someone tossed it into the water. I fired a shot at a large bomber over Aiea but the burst was lost in the jungle. Two dive bombers are diving on Arizona at the end of Battleship Row. One lets go a large bomb that does not explode. A dud we say then suddenly Ka-Boom, the entire front end of Arizona erupts, tossing the forward turret into the air.
Shells explode sending bodies and equipment flying though the air.
Great clouds of smoke and flame cover her as she settles into the mud. We fire two rounds that burst behind an observation plane and fire several rounds into the dive bombers concentrating on the Nevada as she made her way down channel but they explode short. Someone yelled and pointed at the Oklahoma which had apparently lost her 18 inch armor belt and was rolling over on her sister Maryland. We saw the brown bottom of this goliath rolling over with sailors in white uniforms swarming over her hull from the other side. Emotion took over as I stood frozen watching what I believed to be the unsinkable, sink.
