This 4"/50 caliber gun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%22/50_caliber_gun) signaled that our nation was at war when it fired America’s first shot of World War II, and sinking a Japanese midget submarine, at Pearl Harbor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor) on that fateful day on December 7, 1941". http://padresteve.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ward-gun-crew.jpg?w=500&h=412< the First shot Crew of Minnesotans. Virtually all of the crew except the skipper was from Saint Paul Minnesota.. http://www.nickcolemanmn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/0513906.jpg Some fine MINNESTOA handiwork that day! http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/HURL/gallery/archaeology/images/stbd_conning_sm.jpg (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/HURL/gallery/archaeology/images/stbd_conning.jpg)Footnote to history: On the morning of 7 December, three years to the day after her No. 1 gun fired the opening shot of America's involvement in the war, she was patrolling off the invasion area when she came under attack by several Japanese kamikazes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze). One bomber hit her hull amidships, bringing her to a dead stop. When the resulting fires could not be controlled, USS Ward '​s crew was ordered to abandon ship, and she was sunk by gunfire from O'Brien (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_O%27Brien_(DD-725)), whose commanding officer, William W. Outerbridge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W._Outerbridge), had been in command of Ward during her action off Pearl Harbor three years before. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/USS_Ward_%28DD-139%29_afire.jpg/225px-USS_Ward_%28DD-139%29_afire.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USS_Ward_(DD-139)_afire.jpg)
