Deemed too damaged to be raised from the water and repaired for service, Arizona was left where she sank. The USS Arizona Memorial highlights the importance of remembering the mighty warships of the Pacific, the events of December 7, 1941, and the men who gave their lives that day. Today, the wreckage of USS Arizona still sits at the bottom of the harbor. The mighty warship suffered severe damage that resulted in her sinking to the bottom of Pearl Harbor, becoming a watery grave with hundreds of men trapped within.
The primary targets of the Imperial Japanese Navy were the battleships moored along Battleship Row. On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu, was the site of a surprise attack that resulted in the loss of more than 2,400 lives.
