"Arrived at Pearl Harbor December 1940 and was assigned to the USS Nokomis (YT142), which was located at Pearl Harbor Yardcraft. Our berthing space was located next to the marine runway about one-half mile across from Battleship Row.

The harbor was ablaze from fuel released from USS Arizona. All the craft from Yardcraft responded, fighting fires and rescuing people in the water.
"We assisted USS Nevada in getting under way from her berth north of Ford Island. We were alongside escorting her toward the channel when we [The Nevada] suffered damage from dive bombers, and ran aground rather than block the channel to the sea.
"Our next assignment was to tie up alongside the USS California and proceed to flood the lower decks with our fire hoses. She was on fire internally.
"That evening the harbor erupted with firepower when some of our own aircraft tried to land at Ford Island; big fires on the runways indicated that some of the planes didn't survive the landing.
"During the attack I noticed a tanker out in the harbor. Found out later it was the USS Neosha moving away from the USS California.
"We spent the next day alongside the USS California pumping water into lower decks until the fires were out. Pumping all that water was a factor in the ship bottoming out.
Currently the U.S.S. Nokomis is berthed in San Francisco and is being restored to her December 7th 1941 appearance.
