Where is this first-hand account from? (What ship)

@Shadow

SmokeyBrown:

I would wager that the account comes from the USS Arizona, judging from the article.

rootbeer003:

Can u show me where in the article it talks about it?

SmokeyBrown:

So, the sailor doesn't explicitly reference the ship he was on, but the article certainly frames the account as taking place aboard the USS Arizona. I assumed this based on the context of the title, "Aboard the USS Arizona" as well as the brief introduction talking about how the USS Arizona was bombed and subsequently sunk.

SmokeyBrown:

Oh, at the bottom of the introduction, it says "Corporal E.C. Nightingale was aboard the USS Arizona that fateful Sunday..." It's pretty easy to miss details like that, I guess.

rootbeer003:

Oh ok i see it now. Thanks
