FILE - This Dec. 1941 file photo shows heavy damage to ships stationed at Pearl Harbor after the Japanese attack on the Hawaiian island on Dec. 7, 1941. The most comparable attack against the United States was the surprise Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, that plunged the U.S. into war. The nation marked the 10-year anniversary of Pearl Harbor much differently than now. Just like the 10-year anniversary of Sept. 11, how the nation experienced the anniversary of Pearl Harbor was shaped by what was happening in the world in 1951. (AP Photo/U.S. Navy)

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.
