From the Nov. 10, 2013, Santa Crus (Cal.) Sentinel "Pearl Harbor Survivor visits Santa Cruz" by Kevin Guzman.
Louis Conter was 20 an on board the USS Arizona that day.
"When the bomb exploded, it exploded over 1 million pounds of powder. The whole bow of the ship came out of the water thirty feet and was on fire, and settled back in the water."

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.
