caption_attribution_description: English: Photograph taken from a Japanese plane during the torpedo attack on ships moored on both sides of Ford Island shortly after the beginning of the Pearl Harbor attack. View looks about east, with the supply depot, submarine base and fuel tank farm in the right center distance. A torpedo has just hit USS West Virginia on the far side of Ford Island (center). Other battleships moored nearby are (from left): Nevada, Arizona, Tennessee (inboard of West Virginia), Oklahoma (torpedoed and listing) alongside Maryland, and California. On the near side of Ford Island, to the left, are light cruisers Detroit and Raleigh, target and training ship Utah and seaplane tender Tangier. Raleigh and Utah have been torpedoed, and Utah is listing sharply to port. Japanese planes are visible in the right center (over Ford Island) and over the Navy Yard at right. U.S. Navy planes on the seaplane ramp are on fire. Japanese writing in the lower right states that the photograph was reproduced by authorization of the Navy Ministry. 中文: 1941年12月7日，珍珠港遇袭最初时候的场景。这张照片是从日本攻击机上拍摄的。 照片中的小岛为福特岛，远处（靠近弹着点附近）停泊的是美军的战列舰编队：从前（图右）往后，由外（上方）至内依次是加利福尼亚号、尼奥修号（斜对画面者，加油船）、俄克拉何马号、马里兰号、西弗吉尼亚号、田纳西号、维斯塔号（维修船）亚利桑那号和内华达号，近处停泊的是坦吉尔号（水上飞机船）、犹他号（靶舰）、拉雷号和底特律号（轻巡洋舰）。 Italiano: Foto scattata da un aereo giapponese pochi minuti dopo l'inizio dell'attacco. A destra, verso est, è visibile il deposito di alimentazione, la base sottomarina e più lontano il deposito di carburante. Un siluro ha appena colpito la West Virginia al di là di Ford Island. Altre navi da guerra si trovano ormeggiate nelle vicinanze (da sinistra): la Nevada, l'Arizona, la Tennessee (all'interno rispetto alla West Virginia), la Oklahoma a fianco della Maryland e la California. Più vicino, verso sinistra, gli incrociatori Raleigh e Detroit (entrambi silurati).
context_page_description: Several reports prior to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 indicated that the base was vulnerable to attack. This has sometimes been noted in Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge conspiracy theories.
