How They Salvaged Pearl Harbor: The 'Zombie Battleship' (2/4)
Part 2 of the limited series. December 7, 1941; Japanese aircraft roar in low over Pearl Harbor naval base, Oahu Hawaii. Within hours over 2,000 Americans will be killed and country will be thrust into the bloodiest conflict in human history. But how did the Navy deal with the massive cleanup left behind? Before they could get to work, hundreds of men needed rescuing - the wounded and, more worryingly, the trapped. Aboard the mighty battleships USS West Virginia, USS Oklahoma and USS Utah men were stuck deep within the confines of their battered and capsized ships' hulls. In this documentary series we'll take a closer look at the Pearl Harbor attack, examine the damage wrought and see how the US navy pulled off an incredible feat of engineering and salvage to put the majority of their Pacific fleet back in action. This is the true story of the salvage of Pearl Harbor!
