Added details of Ricketts' service at Pearl Harbor and his role in saving West Virginia from capsizing during the attack. I believe it is significant since (1) it was a prominent event in Ricketts' career, widely referenced in later literature, and (2) Several sources, one of which I referenced in the article, credit Ricketts' action with preventing the loss of the ship, which would have substantially increased the death toll at Pearl Harbor. 152.133.6.2 (talk) 20:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)JTD
