Thank you for the post/thread, Herr Oberst.
Indeed a date worth remembrance. Godspeed to all lost and their families.
My father was stationed on the
cruiser Helena CL-50 during the attack.

Completed in late 1939, Helena spent the first two years of her career in peacetime training that accelerated as tensions between the United States and Japan increased through 1941. She was torpedoed at the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and was repaired and modernized in early 1942.
