The place, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the set ting was deep inside the sunken battleship USS West Virginia. Three men were trapped in a compartment, untouched by the bombs and fire that ravaged the vessel and sent it to the floor of the harbor in the sneak Japanese attack the previous day. " The sailors were spending the second of what was to be 16 days of a fruitless struggle to live. They breathed from an air bubble in the sealed storeroom. They fed on emergency rations. They tapped a freshwater tank for drink. What they thought, what they hoped, was buried with them in the familiar surroundings where they had lived and worked until the surprise attack. The only chronicle of their final days be fore suffocation was a calendar a checkmark on each date from Dec. 7 to 23. The Navy removed the secrecy stamp Wednesday from two pages of a nine-page document dated June 15, 1942, which described the recovery of 70 bodies from the ill-fated West Virginia during sal vage operations. Three bodies were found on the lower shelf of storeroom A-lll clad in blues and jerseys," the document said. "The emergency rations at this station had been consumed." The men had re moved a manhole cover leading to-freshwater tanks below the storeroom. . - 'Several" bodies were found stretched on top of steampipes in an area tnat was probably with in the air bubble existing in that flooded space, the report con. tinued. Some of the men had lived for considerable periods but finally died from lack of oxygen. Veteran ollicers could not recall any other verities instance in which men lived as long as 16 days in a sunken ship. How long men may have lived in the bat tleship Utah, also sunk at Pearl Harbor, never has been deter mined. Two officers and 103 enlisted men died aboard the West Vir ginia. The Navy declined to iden tify the three sailors who lived in the air bubble.
