| Summary |
Killer Subs in Pearl Harbor goes beneath the waters of Pearl Harbor to trace provocative new clues to one of the most tragic events of World War II - the sinking of the USS Arizona. More than 1,000 crew members perished in the greatest single loss of life in United States naval history.For decades, it has been thought that a bomb dropped by a Japanese aircraft sank the Arizona. But the discovery of a group of Japanese midget submarines in and around Pearl Harbor has raised questions about the battleship's final hours.In this program, a team of expert investigators journey to the seafloor to explore the wreckage of the most mysterious of these subs. They question whether this mini-sub and its two-person crew made it into Pearl Harbor and fired torpedoes at the Arizona.The program pursues this puzzle with unprecedented access to the remains of the Arizona and other unique evidence, including aerial photos taken by Japanese aircraft and moving testimonials from US and Japanese veterans. It is a gripping investigation of the possibility that these tiny but lethal mini-subs may have played a crucial and previously unsuspected part in the tragic events of that 'Day of Infamy'.
