From the December 1, 2016, History by Sarah Pruitt.
Most of the big damage at Pearl Harbor was done in the first 30 minutes. The Arizona was completely destroyed and the Oklahoma capsized. The West Virginia, California and Nevada were sunk in shallow water. Altogether, five battleships were sunk.
Also, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers and other smaller vessels were seriously damaged. That was along with 180 planes destroyed on the ground.
In addition, there were 3,400 casualties and 2,300 killed, mostly on the Arizona and Oklahoma.

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.
