The Ships of Pearl Harbor
 
Although the USS Arizona has become the best known ship from Pearl Harbor, more than 130 ships were at anchor in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Below is a comprehensive list of the ships present at 0800 7 December 1941. The ships are sorted by type and hull number. Pearl Harbor is defined as the area inside the nets guarding the harbor entrance. Ships marked with an asterisk (*) were within twelve miles of the island of Oahu but were not actually within Pearl Harbor as defined above. Locations of these ships are indicated. Ships marked with a number symbol (#) were sunk or destroyed during the Pearl Harbor attack. All of these were later raised and rebuilt except for Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah. Oklahoma was raised but not rebuilt.
