Pearl Harbor Sub Found Confirms First Shot Theory
Researchers at Pearl Harbor report the sunken 78-foot Japanese submarine, found about three miles from Pearl Harbor, provides evidence that the U S fired the first shot in the Pacific War. The sub, discovered during routine training dives, bears a bullet hole and torpedoes, corroborating accounts of USS Ward's early-action sinking on December 7, 1941.
