(at around 1h 34 mins) During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Capt. Mervyn Bennion, the commanding of USS West Virginia, is seen to die in the arms of Cook Third Class Doris 'Dorie' Miller after a bomb hits USS West Virginia. But in the reality, Bennion was mortally injured by shrapnel from the nearby USS Tennessee after she was hit by a bomb. Miller and several other sailors attempted to move Bennion to a first aid station, but Bennion refused to leave his post. Using one arm to hold his wounds closed, he bled to death while still commanding his crew.
