Agree. As a sidenote, my late wife and I visited Pearl Harbor and the Arizona memorial on December 6 one year while on a cruise port call.

Most of the battleships that were sunk or critically damaged on December 7 1941 were later raised out of the shallow harbor waters, repaired and reconstructed, and later saw extensive action in the war during the many amphibious landings that took place in the Pacific and Europe. The USS Arizona was annihilated and the USS Oklahoma was too badly damaged, but the 6 other battleships at Pearl that day had their revenge later in the war.
