My Dad was in Pearl Harbor. Having breakfast in Schofield Barracks. That’s all he’d say about it.

My Uncle as well, assigned to a Destroyer. He was on shore leave but made it back to the ship during the attach. I guess the Destroyers were a bit less of a priority vs. the Battleships as not to many were sunk / damaged. He was reassigned later in the war and died in 1944 when the Mount Hood Ammo ship went up in Port while loading. (apparent accident)
