planes. $4,000 tanks and self
propelled artillery, 1900 anti
aircraft guns larger than 20 mil
limeter, and 100000 tons OF
merchant shipping.
These figures were short of
President Roosevelt's goals, set
last January, in every category
except merchant shipping where
the goal was 100000 tons.
They were close enough, how
ever, TO make the Axis eat the
soothing words with which ii re-
ceived Mr.. l.oosevelt's year-ago
announcement OF production
aims.
And Owl, telling the Ameri-
can people of hardships and sac
rifices ahead, said production
would be upped by two-thirds in
the next year.
The Navy report, answering
many of the questions the public
has asked since the first dread
full news of Pearl Harbor, dis
closed there were SO ships of
various types moored in the
great naval base there when
their ENJOYS talked peace in
Washington and their filters
dropped the first bombs of war.
Two task forces were at sea.
There were no aircraft carriers
in the anchoage.
The attack lasted about two
hours, beginning at 7:55 a. m.
and ending about GAS a. m.
Hawaii time. When it was over
the ship casualties were found to
be:
Sunk or damaged so severely
that they would be out Of action
for some time:
The battleships Arizona, Ok
lahOma, California, Nevada and
West Virginia.
The destrOyers Shaw, CasSin
and DOwnes.
The minelayer Oglala.
The large. ship Utah.
A large floating drydOck.
(The Navy said "a number" of
these vessels had rejOined the
fleet but did not specify which
ones they were. One is the Shaw,
for an earlier story related that
this destroyer, once given up for
lost, was back in service. The
Arizona was cOunted'a total loss
and the Navy said the Oklaho-
ma, which capsized, had not yet
been righted.)
Damaged less severely and
back with the fleet months ago:
The battleships Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Tennessee.
The cruisers Helena, Honolu-
lu and Raleigh.
The seaplane tender Curtiss.
The repair ship Vestal.
When Secretary of the Navy
Knox returned from an inspec-
ton trip to Pearl Harbor he re-
ported last Dec. Is that the Ariz-
ona, Shaw. Cassin, Downes,
Utah and Oglala I'd been lost,
that the Oklahoma had capsiz-
ed, and that other vessels had
been damaged. The extent OF
damage to other vessels was
withheld so that it would not be-
come known to the enemy.
Counting the Arizona the only
ship a total loss, the Navy said
fortunately, the salvag and re-
pair accomplishments at Pearl
Harbor have exceeded the most
hopeful expectation"
Pictures released by the Navy
with its review disclosed that
some of the ships had s. TX in
shallow water. One showed the
West Virginia with its main deck
awash, its keel resting in the
harbor mud. In such cases, 1t
was possible to seal the hull,
pump out the water and float the
ship. The Nevada, one picture
made known,l VS. beached.
The repaired ships, in some
cases, are more formidable than
before Pearl Harbor since mod
ern improvements were INSTALL
ed in the process of recondition-
ing them.
Some other high spots of the
review:
Navy personnel casualties
were 2,117 officers and men kill
ec., 900 still listed as missing and
876 wounded. Army casualties
were 226 officers and men kill
cd and 396 wounded.
The Navy had 1902 aircraft and
the army 273 on the island. The
lravy got 38 into the air. Eighty
Of it's planes were destroyed,
most Of them en- the ground. A
few" army planes were able to
take off against the enemy de-
spite damage to runways and
they shot down more than 20"
Japanese. The army did not
issue separate review and its
total of plane losses was not
stated. Navy men shot down
% of the enemy, most Of them
falling to anti-aircraft and ma
chine gun fire from ships.
The japanese are believed to
