At dusk on December 8, 1941, the carrier Enterprise and her escort of cruisers and destroyers entered Pearl Harbor. Officers and men lined the rails, watching in stunned silence. The twisted, smoldering superstructure of the Arizona was still aflame, and there was a stench of charred wood and fuel oil in the air.
"Morale went to nothing just about then," said an officer on one of the escorting cruisers. "We were sick and shocked. We couldn't believe that this had happened to us." Through the night, the crew of the Enterprise, under the command of Admiral William "Bull" Halsey, took on fuel, provisions, and ammunition. Before dawn it was back at sea.

En okej bok med bra uppläsare. Men som vanligt är det rätt ointressant att lyssna på Amerikansks bla bla bla om hur bla bla bla dom är & dåliga alla andra är.

Uppläsare borde ha studerat hur man uttalar japanska namn innan han läser upp boken, flera gånger så namnger han IJN Yamato som Yamoto, bland annat. Plus så är det ju typiskt amerikanskt skryt utan mycket mer info om de japanska taktiker a mer en omnämnande.
