USS Arizona Memorial

Aloha!  The USS Arizona Memorial is a 184 foot long floating memorial that marks the spot where the USS Arizona was sunk in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during the Japanese attack.  The memorial structure, spanning the mid-portion of the sunken battleship, consists of three main sections: the entry and assembly rooms; a central area designed for ceremonies and general observation; and the shrine room, where the names of those 1, 177 crewmen killed on the USS Arizona are engraved on the marble wall.
 











Aloha!
Sue.
