Photo | Aerial: Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial, View 2

Description

-The
USS Arizona Memorial-
Almost 75 years after the explosion that sank the
USS Arizona
, oil still bleeds from her hull and the droplets
rise
to the surface of the water.
The blast that destroyed the
Arizona
and sank her at her berth at Ford Island took a total of 1,177 lives of the 1,400 crewmen on board at the time - over half of the casualties suffered by the entire fleet in the attack.
Many of the survivors have arranged for their ashes to be placed in the ship, among their fallen comrades, upon their death and cremation.
The Navy, in conjunction with the National Park Service, has recently overseen a comprehensive computerized mapping of the hull, being careful to honor its role as a
war grave
.
Arizona
was awarded one battle star for her service in World War II. The national memorial was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. The ship herself was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 5, 1989.
It’s interesting to note that warships of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and other navies from around the world routinely salute the
USS Arizona
when passing through Pearl Harbor.
