Over 350 Japanese  aircraft attacked in two waves, strafing, dropping bombs and torpedoes.  Four U.S. Navy battleships were sunk, four other battleships were  damaged, and eight other ships were either sank or damaged. 188 U.S.  aircraft were destroyed, 2,402 personnel were killed and 1,282 were  wounded. The following day, the United States declared war on Japan,  officially entering World War II. This year's 69th anniversary coincides  with the dedication of a new $56 million Pearl Harbor visitors center. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/pearlharbor_12_07/p01_00000001.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/pearlharbor_12_07/p02_00000002.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Japanese Navy Type 99 Carrier Bombers ("Val")  prepare to take off from an aircraft carrier during the morning of 7  December 1941.
