CL7/A16 (0167) U.S.S. RALEIGH
December 13, 1941
From: Commanding Officer.
To: Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Subject: Report of U.S.S. Raleigh's participation in the battle of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
Reference: (a) Article 712, Navy Regulations.
Enclosure: (A) Executive Officer's Report
About 0755 on the morning of December 7, 1941, I was in my cabin drinking a cup of coffee when I heard and felt a dull explosion in the ship. Looking out my airport I saw the water boiling amidships. I started up to the bridge and was met by lieutenant Taylor who reported that the Japanese were attacking the Fleet. All hands were called to general quarters and about five minutes later this ship opened fire with the anti-aircraft battery of 3"/50 caliber, 1/1" and .50 cal. guns.
Rest of it here. (http://www.anotherpundit.com/cgi/viewnews.cgi?newsid985808922,61370,)
