Strafing off Barber's Point
The Strafing of four fishing sampans off Barber's Point Hawaii left six fishermen dead and seven wounded. Considered a case of mistaken identity and over shadowed by the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the incident is often ignored.
==Incident==
The ''Kiho Maru'', ''Myojin Maru'', ''Shin-ei Maru'',and the ''Sumiyoshi Maru'' had set out days before the Attack on Pearl Harbor. According to one of the survivors Seiki Arakaki (1920–1987) his sampan the ''Kiho Maru'' captained by Sutematsu Kida had been at sea since December 4. On the morning of December 7th he and the crew saw columns of smoke rising from Pearl Harbor and believed “Something was happening”. When night fell, Oahu was abnormally dark from the wartime blackout. That night he learned of the Attack from another sampan with a radio that pulled up alongside. On December 8 the ''Kiho Maru'' set course to return to her home port of Kewalo Basin along with the three other sampans also returning to Kewalo Basin. Arakaki recalled when the four fishing boats were two miles from Barber's Point, “There were four or five Army P-40s flying over us,… Each picked out a target and attacked”. Sutematsu Kida, his son Kiichi Kida, and Kiho Uyehara were killed leaving only Arakaki alive but shot in the knee. On the ''Myojin Maru'' captained by Kaichi Okada; he, Ogawa Mataichi, and Riyozo Okogi were killed off only Sannosuke Onishi (1899–1982) survived. On the other two sampans five were wounded and two were unscathed. A Coast Guard destroyer arrived and sent launches to connect the ship to the two crippled sampans and tow the boats the rest of the way to Kewalo Basin.
