He was on the crash crew at the strip , but they didn't have a single problem landing during his time there. Back then, the superstructure was still sticking up out of the water and their barracks on Ford Island still had bullet holes from the attack (so they would never forget). My parents visited there in 1985 and where the barracks were located were retired officer's houses. A lot of the Arizona's super structure is still laying on Ford Island including one of the tri pod masts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
