Provo resident Ken Potts, one of the last two USS Arizona survivors, died Friday at age 102.
, Potts said a loudspeaker ordered sailors back to their ships so he got on a boat.
Dozens of ships either sank, capsized or were damaged in the bombing of the Hawaii naval base, which catapulted the U.S. into World War II. The Arizona sank just nine minutes after being bombed, and its 1,177 dead account for nearly half the servicemen killed in the attack. Today the battleship still sits where it sank eight decades ago, with more than 900 dead entombed inside.
