From the May 25, 2015, CBS 8 News.
Monday, Ray Chavez, 103, was honored. He was serving on the minesweeper USS Condor that day. he was one of four Pearl Harbor survivors to speak at the memorial Day event at National City.
In the early morning hours of Dec. 7, 1941, his ship spotted the periscope of a Japanese mini submarine which was attacked and blown up by the destroyer USS Ward. He served on transports for the remainder of the war.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
