The two waves lasted two long hours of terror. 350 aircraft were destroyed or damaged. All 8 battleships of the U.S Pacific Fleet were sunk or badly damaged - including the U.S.S. Arizona. And yet all of America's aircraft carriers remained unscathed. The sinking of the U.S.S. Arizona ended the story of the invincable battleship and began a new story about the superiority of the mighty aircraft carrier. America did not know that Japan was going to attack. They were unprepared and it caused so much horror and disguist to the people.
