Very early into the raid, but Utah, West Virginia, and Oklahoma are already listing due to torpedoes.

Above still comes from footage shot by the Japanese during the Pearl Harbor Raid, and later captured by US forces. Footage was shot during torpedo attacks on US Battleships moored next to Ford Island the splash is a torpedo hit on Battleship USS West Virginia. PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS: Looking east with supply depot, submarine base and tank farm (fuel tanks) located in center in the distance. Look at lower right of the photo, you can just see the Japanese Characters that State: Photograph was reproduced by authorization of the Navy Ministry.

Hit by anti-aircraft fire, over Pearl Harbor Airman 1st Class, Keigo Hanal's B5N2 at center of photo, breaks away from Battleship row. At extreme upper right of photo you can see a plane from Carrier Soryu, approaching from the right, looking east.
