Pearl Harbor
808-422-0561
The USS Arizona has rested in its watery grave at Pearl Harbor since December 7, 1941. The overturned hull of this battleship entombed some 1,100 sailors caught unaware by the Japanese bombs that sank this mighty ship.
The memorial was completed in 1961. It is 184-feet long and crosses the Arizona's mid-section. A complete visit starts with a 20-minute historic film and goes on to a short ride aboard a Navy launch to the memorial site.
