The USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated in 1962, straddles the remains
of the battleship sunk during the surprise Japanese air attack, Dec.
7, 1941. The memorial pays tribute to the nearly 1,200 sailors and
Marines who died aboard the Pennsylvania-class super-dreadnaught
during the attack as well as all of the 2,403 military and civilian
personnel who perished that Sunday morning. A bomb detonated in
her powder magazine caused a violent explosion and immediately
sank the craft, Navy hull number BB-39.The more than one million
visitors a year to the memorial can see the diesel fuel leaking from the
submerged wreck to this day.
