USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor

When the USS Arizona was destroyed on 7 December 1941, it was the United States’ Navy’s single biggest loss of life. Producers Annette Hull and Warren Hull have worked tirelessly to tell the stories of some of those who were on board the ship. In this episode they tell us about the life of Lou Conter, one of the survivors of the USS Arizona, and the USS Arizona band, all of whom were among the more than 1,170 killed when a bomb exploded in a magazine.Annette and Warren’s productions can be found here.For more Warfare content, follow this link.Credit to AnnWar productions for the interview with Lou Conter.
