Battleship OklahOma BB-37
By Jeff Phister, with Thomas Hone and Paul Goodyear
Returning to Pearl Harbor to revisit the fate of a ship and its crew
On a quiet Sunday morning in 1941, a ship designed to keep the peace was suddenly attacked. This book tells the remarkable story of a battleship, its brave crew, and how their lives were intertwined. Jeff Phister and his coauthors have written the comprehensive history of the USS Oklahoma from its christening in 1914 to its final loss in 1947. Phister tells how the Oklahoma served in World War I, participated in the Great Cruise of 1925, and evacuated refugees from Spain in 1936. But the most memorable event of the ship’s history occurred on December 7, 1941. Phister weaves the personal narratives of surviving crewmen with the necessary technical information to recreate the attack and demonstrate the full scope of its devastation. Captured Japanese photographs and dozens of historic U.S. Navy photographs deepen our understanding of this monumental event. Raised after the attack, the Oklahoma sank again while being towed stateside and now rests on the ocean floor, 540 miles northeast of Oahu. Battleship Oklahoma: BB-37 tells the complete story of a proud ship and her fall through the eyes of those who survived her loss. Jeff Phister is a freelance biographer in Phoenix, Arizona, and an active member of the USS Oklahoma Family, Inc., a nonprofit corporation dedicated to preserving the memory of the USS Oklahoma. Thomas Hone has spent his career teaching, working in defense organization and management, and is the author of numerous books on naval subjects, including Battle Line: The United States Navy, 1919–1939. Paul Goodyear, a USS Oklahoma survivor, lives in Casa Grande, Arizona and is involved in an effort to identify the remains of the USS Oklahoma’s 380 crewmembers that were buried as Unknowns.
