83 years ago today, a sneak attack by forces of the Japanese Empire sank or damaged much of the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor in the territory of Hawaii. The Japanese Empire came to regret doing this.
The light cruiser USS Helena (CL-50) was hit by a Japanese torpedo during the attack. She was not mortally wounded, so after temporary repairs at Pearl Harbor, she steamed under her own power to Mare Island, where she was repaired and modernized. She seerved in the Guadalcanal campaign, she was hit by multiple tordoes and sunk during the Battle of Kula Gulf.
