From the Dec. 6, 2011, Hendersonville (NC) Times-News.
Ensign John Davenport was fast asleep on the USS Oklahoma when General Quarters sounded. he remembers hearing this is not a drill and then a torpedo hit. He put on his uniform and rushed topside to his anti-aircraft gun. There were three more explosions and the ship began rolling over.
He found a place on the starboard side where he witnessed the Arizona blowing up. Later, a rescue boat took him to safety.
