The attack on Pearl Harbor at 7:48 a.m. on December 7, 1941, killed about 2,400 Americans, drawing the United States into World War II.
December 7, 1941, began as a perfect Sunday morning for the troops at Pearl Harbor; unaware of the Japanese naval forces speeding across the ocean.
The US vowed to remember this 'day of infamy', which led to America joining World War II against the Axis powers.
Photographs from the attack show the devastation caused by the Japanese assault, which sunk four battleships and resulted in many casualties.
