Bombs Fell, Torpedoes Ran, A Pearl Harbor Timeline-- Part 6: It's Finally Over
All times a.m..
9:30: A series of bombs ignite powder magazines and blow the bow off the destroyer USS Shaw, moored in a floating drydock.
9:30: The USS St. Louis leaves the harbor and later sinks a Japanese midget submarine that fired two torpedoes at her.
9:45: The last Japanese attackers withdraw. A third wave of attacks is considered but rejected.
The whole attack lasted just under two hours.
All Over. --RoadDog
