Robert Fernandez, one of the last known American survivors of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, died on Wednesday in Lodi, Calif., just days after the 83rd anniversary of the attack. He was 100. His nephew Joe Guthrie confirmed the death.

Mr. Fernandez was assigned to the mess hall on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when he looked out a porthole and saw a Japanese warplane.

Bob Fernandez was a 17-year-old sailor on board the USS Curtiss when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.
