His ship was one of the few that didn't get hit. It was a seaplane tender. USS Tangier.
He was also trained as a diver, so he was involved in the rescue work, plus pulling people out immediately after the attack.

I bet he had lots of stories. How long was he in the Navy after that?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

I had many uncles that served, one who was on a mine sweeper in the Mediterranean that was sunk, 3 days floating until rescued. Another in a B-24 that was heavily damaged over Germany, finally had to bail out over England. Those men never complained, they just did what had to be done. God bless them all.
