The battleship USS Arizona belches smoke as it topples over into the sea during a Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,  Dec. 7, 1941. The ship sank with more than 80  percent of its 1,500-man crew, including Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd . The attack, which left 2,343 Americans dead and 916 missing, broke the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and forced America out of a policy of isolationism. Congress declared war on Japan the morning after. According to AP-Kyodo polling 60 years after World War II ended, six in 10 Americans said they think another world war is likely, while only a third of the Japanese said another world war is likely.
