The attack on Pearl Harbor dealt a heavy blow to the US naval forces in the Pacific. Three battleships, including the USS Arizona, were completely destroyed. Several other ships were damaged or sunk. The attack failed in one respect: 3 US aircraft carriers were at sea at the time of the attack, escaping harm. Pearl Harbor's average depth of 45 feet meant several ships that had been "sunk" were resting with their decks above the waterline.
