With his passing, only about a dozen survivors of the attack remain.

The eldest of three brothers, he joined the US Navy at age 18, following in the footsteps of his father.

In an oral history interview with the Pacific Historic Parks, Schab recalled getting dressed in his uniform and expecting a visit from one of his brothers when “all hell broke loose.” He recalled going topside and seeing a bomb blast and the USS Utah capsizing.
在接受太平洋历史公园的口述历史采访时，沙布回忆道，他穿着制服，期待着他的一个兄弟来访，但“一切都乱了套”。他回忆说，他在上层看到了炸弹爆炸和犹他号航空母舰倾覆的情景。

US forces were unprepared for the surprise attack, and in less than 90 minutes, Japanese planes had destroyed or damaged 19 American warships and 300 aircraft.
美军对这次突然袭击毫无准备，不到90分钟，日本飞机就摧毁或损坏了19艘美国军舰和300架飞机。

Almost half of those killed were crewmen from the battleship USS Arizona , which sank within minutes after a bomb struck its forward magazine, igniting more than a million pounds of ammunition.
遇难者中近一半是亚利桑那号战列舰的船员，一枚炸弹击中了其前弹仓，点燃了超过一百万磅的弹药，几分钟后该舰就沉没了。
The Associated Press reports that Schab served most of the war in the Pacific, including Vanuatu, the Mariana Islands, and Okinawa.

A product of post Great War naval treaties and launched amid rising global tensions, the USS New Orleans forged a bond with its namesake city in the years before World War II
