    Knott, James Russell, Service No. 368-57-54, Rating A.S., enlisted 7 Jan 1941, Salt Lake City, UT, received 4 April 1941, San Diego, California for duty

    "On 7 December 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor [the USS Phoenix] was anchored north east of Ford Island near Solace. Observers on board Phoenix sighted the rising sun of Japan on planes coming in low over Ford Island and a few seconds later the ship's guns took them under fire. Phoenix escaped the disaster unharmed and shortly after noon was underway to join the cruisers St. Louis, Detroit and several destroyers in an impromptu task force searching, unsuccessfully, for the enemy aircraft carriers."Wikipedia: USS Phoenix (CL-46), accessed 11 June 2019, citing Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships:Phoenix.
