040521-N-8157C-066 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (May 21, 2004) - Survivors Alex Bernal, left, and Chester Carbaugh attended a ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor West Loch weapons explosion. A memorial of the disaster reminds all of a quiet Sunday afternoon on May 21, 1944, when more than two dozen ammunition ships moored in preparation for an attack on Saipan, suddenly exploded, resulting in a deadly chain reaction. The explosions left 163 dead and 396 injured and eight ships lost. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Dennis Cantrell (RELEASED) US Navy 040521-N
