The US did not lose 90 support vessels at Pearl Harbour. A total of 19 ships were sunk or badly damaged. |

Yeah, this is riddled with inaccuracies. |

Whole thing a hot mess. There were 8, not 7, battleships sunk or severely damaged, NOT destroyed. In fact only Arizona was not raised and Oklahoma was raised but never repaired so a total of 2 battleships destroyed. And it was a total of 20 ships, including the battleships, sunk or severely damaged. The only other ship "destroyed" was the USS Utah, formerly BB-31 it was by this time converted into an Auxiliary, AG-16, and used as a target ship and to train AAA gunners. And this is just the beginning. |

Maybe they counted all the ships' boats damaged as support craft? But then again, it's a dive site. |
