USS Arizona

I was almost one year old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor The battle ship USS Arizona is a memorial to those men (over 1000) who died and are still entombed in the hull.

One of the main gun turrets still protrudes from the water. An amazing phenomenon is the oil still leaking from her fuel tanks-it produces a multicolored slick on the water’s surface. Legend has it that the oil seepage will cease when the last soldier from WW II dies.
