Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

"The moment that will never leave my mind is when I walked up on the Navy landing and saw the Arizona. The Japanese were overhead, the Arizona was down and burning, the Nevada was under way, and I stood there and watched her go aground. The Oklahoma was upside down. I still see it." -Ralph D. Byard, Chief Commissary Steward
