The attack wrecked two U.S. Navy battleships, one minelayer, and two destroyers beyond repair, and destroyed 188 aircraft; personnel losses were 2,333 killed and 1,139 wounded. Damaged warships included three cruisers, a destroyer, and six battleships (one deliberately grounded, later refloated and repaired; two sunk at their berths, later raised, repaired, and restored to Fleet service late in the war). Vital fuel storage, shipyards, and submarine facilities were not hit. Japanese losses were minimal, at 29 aircraft and five midget submarines, with 65 servicemen killed or wounded.

21 Ships were sunk at Pearl Harbor:

There were 5 battleships:
USS Arizona
USS Oklahoma
USS California
USS West Virginia
USS Utah

A couple of other ships were sunk, like Destroyers and Cruisers along with a few tankers.

USS Shaw
USS Helena

However, the Japanese intention was to sink the American battleships along with their Aircraft Carriers. However, all the carriers were out on duty that week and not present. This blunder was detrimental to the Japanese because the carriers would hurt Japan in the next six months with the Doolittle Raid and the Japanese naval defeats at Coral Sea and Midway.

Utah was a deco missioned battleship used as a target ship; she was sunk and is still on the bottom.

Arizona was sunk and is still on the bottom. The other US battleships sunk were raised, repaired and four of them shot the Japanese battleships Fuso and Yamashiro to pieces at Suriago Straight, Philippines four years later .

Helena was damaged not sunk.
Ogala was damaged not sunk

Cassin, Downs and Shaw were the 3 Destroyers sunk;

If you want the details, you will probably find "eye witness" accounts online... Go to Leap Over Web Clutter section at New Free Books. It's the second history link.
