Uncover the forgotten engineering miracle that turned America's greatest naval disaster into a symbol of its industrial might. While Japan's pilots reported the US Pacific Fleet's battleships permanently destroyed, an audacious plan was already in motion to raise the dead. This meticulously researched historical documentary reveals how US Navy salvage divers and engineers achieved the impossible. The operation, led by Captain Homer N. Wallin, began on December 7, 1941, and involved sealing massive holes underwater with custom-built patches, including a 200-ton concrete plug for the USS West Virginia, before pumping millions of gallons of water out. From the smoldering wreckage of Battleship Row to the thunderous naval bombardments of the late war, witness how these resurrected giants returned to the fight, proving that American ingenuity could rebuild its power faster than the enemy could destroy it—a principle of resilience that still echoes today.
