The sole survivor serving aboard the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has died.
Lou Conter, one of the last living ties to that date of infamy, passed away this morning at his home in Grass, Valley, California, Pacific Historic Parks confirmed. He was 102.
Born in Ojibwa, Wisconsin, Conter enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1939 at the age of 18. Two years later, he would bear witness to the attack that finally drew the United States into the Second World War.
Starting his shift as quartermaster at 7:45 a.m. on Dec. 7, 1941, Conter had barely rubbed the sleep from his eyes when the Japanese assault began a mere three minutes later.
At exactly 8:09 a.m., the hull of the USS Arizona was struck by a 1,760-pound Japanese armor-piercing bomb.
“Minute it happened, we sounded general quarters and they were in there and we blew up in about eight minutes, nine minutes,” Conter told CBS13 in 2022.
Knocked over from the blast, Conter landed on the deck which was rapidly filling with water.
Despite the conflagration spreading throughout the badly listing ship, Conter remained composed, spending nearly 35 minutes attempting to secure the quarterdeck and saving nearly 20 sailors.
Of the 2,403 American sailors, soldiers and civilians killed that day, 1,177 came from Arizona’s crew. Conter was just one of 335 aboard the battleship to survive.
But his duty to Arizona’s crew did not cease on December 7. Conter joined numerous rescue operations to recover the bodies of his shipmates in the chaotic days that followed the attack.
Nearly 900 sailors still lie entombed in the USS Arizona.
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Conter entered flight school, serving as a pilot with the Navy Squadron dubbed the Black Cats due to black paint adorning the night-flying PBY Catalinas, according to VA News.
Conter survived the war, despite being shot down twice over the Pacific, and went on to serve in Korea as an air intelligence officer. Upon returning home, he worked to establish the Navy’s first SERE — Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape — program and served as a military adviser to Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.Comment

The Israeli AF struck the Iranian Embassy in Damascus last night. The targets were two top Iranian Generals. They are now both grease spots. With a finger to the Chairman ...... and a lot of Israeli citizens who are protesting his government, Bebe, it seems, is going to achieve his war time objectives whatever it takes and in the face of the press whipping up global, anti-Israeli sentiment.
The headline this morning was about the killing of 7 UN sponsored food aid workers. "Its unfortunate," said Netanyahu. Well, yes it is but it is clear these two Iranian Generals were directly involved in directing the Houthi's in Yemen fire missiles and launch drones on US and UK naval combatant vessels. They were also involved in coordinating missile attacks against commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and from Hezbollah from Lebanon into norther Israel. The majority of the weapons being fired by the "Axis of Resistance" members are coming from Iran.
Meanwhile the press loses sight of what happened on 10/11/23, the sexual violence and murder of Israelis at the hands of Hamas terrorists and the current torture and sexual assault of Israeli citizens still held captive by these fucks. Focus. There is such a thing as accountability for what started this whole thing.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment
