Hoga on December 7, 1941
 
Hoga (YT-146) was serving as a harbor tug in Pearl Harbor on 7 December. She valiantly fought fires, rescued men from oil-covered harbor waters, and helped save USS Nevada (BB-36) after her brave but futile sortie during the attack.

Air Raid on Pearl Harbor

 
On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. The attack sank three other ships and damaged many additional vessels. More than 180 aircraft were destroyed.  
 
A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, Commander in Chief Pacific, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack at the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base. It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL.

The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
