Description: Up for SaleSeldom Seen 1975U.S.S. NEW ORLEANS CA-32 MEDAL PEARL HARBOR - DEC. 7 1941 ARIZONA MEMORIAL MUSEUM FOUNDATIONU.S.S. NEW ORLEANS CA-32 When Japanese aircraft flew over Pearl Harbor and unleashed their stunning attack, the electricity supply to the New Orleans was severed. Power to the navy yard was lost, leaving ships like the USS New Orleans to run manually. For the men aboard the cruiser, that meant handling many of her operations without the benefit of machinery.Though everything had to be done by hand, sailors aboard the New Orleans still attempted to fight back, arming themselves with rifles and pistols and firing on incoming Japanese fighters and bombers. The normally-automated 5” 25 caliber anti-aircraft guns had to be loaded, aimed, and fired manually, which involved hoisting heavy shells through a manual lift system. While this was going on, Japanese machine gun fire peppered the deck of the cruiser, threatening the lives of every man working to fight back. Despite this, the men of the USS New Orleans made it through the attack with no losses, though several were injured when a fragmentation bomb exploded nearby.Damage sustained by the cruiser was minimal, allowing her to return to service almost immediately. For the first few weeks after the United States entered the war, the USS New Orleans ferried troops to Palmyra and Johnston Atoll using only three of her four engines.This Nice Round Will Be In a Capsule 1 Troy oz..999 Fine Silver Thank You
