destroyers with torpedoes. the destroyers and supporting aircraft acted at once on the orders i gave after the initial act of aggression. we believe at least two of the attacking boats were sunk. >> at that moment of the 4th of august, you have this false warning from a -- summarizing from an intercept, not really giving an intercept. false warning, everybody's on edge. the destroyers start reporting sonar torpedo attack. takes them a couple of hours to figure out, well, maybe that's just our own wakes. we're moving the destroyers like this, which is what you do to have evasive action if you're under attack from a torpedo boat. but these destroyers are really fast boats with big propellers and big engines, and they're built for speed on the open ocean. so they make maneuvers like that. they set off all kinds of wakes. and those wakes are then picked up by the other destroyers' sonar. then all of a sudden you got this reinforcement, oh, my god, torpedoes in the water. then you have commanders of two boats saying

i have it here saying it was was sunk by a torpedo. there was speculation whether it was sunk by a torpedo or sunk by a mine. we know that mines were laid in this area by the 117. and some of the war diaries are confusing as to what vessel it l hit with torpedoes versus wheref it laid mines. i it's possible it struck a mine.a i would suggest it's more likely that it struck a mine than was torpedoed. particularly given the crummyness of the torpedoes of . the era. often just bounced off your ship. this story is of particular significance and interest to the u.s. coast guard.u so this was -- it struck a mine2 just about 10 miles off of wimble shoals and was carrying fuel. o there were thousands of gallons of fuel oil immediately spilled into the ocean and burst into ce flames. there were 52 crewmen aboard an they began immediately to abandon ship. one of the lifeboats turned over into the fire while the others were able to kind of cobble and get into the lifeboats. now, meanwhile, ashore, there'sm the life saving station, which l is on t

shellfire, bombs and torpedos. this gives you a good cross section of the u-boat tactics that were happening in the area. so the first merchant ship that we'll talk about that was sunk, "the harpathian" it was a british ship, 380 feet, operating just south of the virginia line. when it started receiving some shellfire, then was torpedoed. just to give you an idea of the difference in some of these tactics, when "the harpathian" was torpedoed, the crew abandoned ship. there was no loss of life but one of the surgeons on-board was injured pretty severely. he was actually taken on board the u-boat that attacked it, they patched him up, they gave him a bunch of tobacco and some beef jerky and things like this and pointed him to shore and said, head that way and you'll be all right. and they finished off "the harpathian" to put it on bottom. again, there was no loss of life here and it was a fairly cordial way to sink someone's ship. again, this one here is a little farther north on hatteras. the continental shelf stick

it is the torpedoes that will tell. his artillery officer says, please let's not go down without firing our torpedoes. to do that, he will have to get within 10,000 yards, so we have a race against time and distance. evans has the ship zigzagging, counting on the japanese to correct their aim to his previous position. he is hoping they will continue this protectable doctrine of applying spots and new ranges. the johnston comes within range finally of the japanese cruiser, 18,000 yards. lieutenant hagan closes the firing key and opens fire. they tear up the 200-yard stretch of sea projected across the path of the cruiser's advance. when hagan sees flashes indicating hits, he tightens that to 100 yards. they land 40 hits on the japanese cruiser. the range closes. the torpedoes at last can be fired. tin fish leap into the water beginning their countdown. he will attempt to rendezvous with the carriers pounding south fleeing for their lives. it is about 7:30 in the morning when the johnston takes her first hit. the impact s

it was true for aerial torpedoes with the battle of midway. should have been won by sinking the japanese carriers with torpedoes but instead we had to dive bomb them and the like of the draw they were all feeling and what not on deck. so that was great fortuity. why do we have such trouble with making a torpedo that would work? >> you know, that's actually been the subject of entire dissertation to the torpedo problem was so rampant in world war ii with the navy. the torpedo is a very complex weapon, and that's when i think i think a lot of folks assume this would like an underwater rocket but it's not. it's a submarine. it costs about $10,000 each, which in today's money would be about equal that of $280,000. they consisted of 1325 moving parts. so they're very sophisticated and they ran off come with alcohol was there fuel source. there's a little side, that the navy realize putting a whole bunch of alcohol on board submarines, that they had dashed it was a bad idea so they spiked it with oil to make it so you would want to drink it. but nev

two more were from the false torpedo sightings. so this cobbled together message, confirms something that they want to believe because they had already made a decision to hit back. >> the u.s. sorties were launched for one purpose, as a warning to the communists that unprovoked attacks will bring prompt response. >> why would just an attack on the 2nd not be enough for the resolution or the escalation? >> because the attack on the 2nd wouldn't be enough for a blank check resolution to pursue war for a couple reasons. one is president mcnamara and some members of congress like senator dirksen, the minority leader, according to those phone calls that we published, knew that we were running our own covert operations against the north vietnamese and so they were responding to us. so you couldn't present the 2nd of august as unprovoked aggression. but in public statements, after the 2nd of august, on the 2nd and the 3rd, the president and mcnamara and others had said, if they attack us again, we're going to whack them. if they attack us

whether none of the torpedoes hit. -- but none of the torpedoes hit. he began to wonder, could it be there is no attack at all? it is something else? and he put it ships into sharp upns and the radar picked blips of the ocean water hitting the side of the vessel. obese --nk they are bogeys, but today are not torpedoes. he sent a message to washington saying i think i am totally wrong, nothing happening here. even though there was nothing happening according to the american commander on the scene, lyndon johnson had the idea that attacked me, they are attacking me again. later on he said, it is probably those -- i do not -- quote him directly. [laughter] he said he did not think to clean up the language that these navy boys got quite right. said this is my moment. and he in the leadership of the congress and gave them the resolution he wanted. the republican leader was a guy named ham andmo he said, mr. presidentck, it is for you to write the resolution and for us to approve it. to behnson said, you have very clear what the resolution says. -- to give t

at the same time, the west virginia was hit by several torpedoes.he arizona was hit by two bombs, one of which struck the forward magazine causing a spectacular explosion. the arizona quickly sank killing more than 1000 crewmembers. the california also sank. the nevada was able to get underway for a short time, but it was sinking and had to be beached. the maryland and tennessee were damaged. the attackers also managed to destroy most american planes as they sat on the runways preventing any major counterattack. a second wave of japanese planes added to the success of the first. the u.s. pacific fleet, caught off guard may surprise attack, was in a state of shock. america was now at war. >> yesterday december 7 1941, the date which will live in infamy, the united states of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of japan. the facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us god.
