More than 1,000 souls were trapped on the boat when Japan dropped a bomb on the USS Arizona. These souls were never recovered.
The USS Arizona is still leaking 2-9 quarts of oil a day, a phenomenon known as the "Black Tears of the Battleship Arizona.”
Aftermath: The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan, officially entering the United States into World War II. The war started when Germany invaded Poland. This led to a global war from 1939 to 1945. Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945, which ended the war. Six years and 1 day later. (9/1/1939 - 9/2/1945)
