JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii — Sailors from the U.S. Navy’s Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 1 discuss their plan to position and secure a crane barge in Pearl Harbor, Sept. 4, 2025. They will soon use the crane barge to begin extracting two World War II-era mooring platforms from USS Arizona’s hull in support of Memorial preservation efforts. In the aftermath of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, the Navy installed the mooring platforms to aid in the salvaging of the Pennsylvania-class battleship’s ammunition and armament for reutilization in the ongoing war effort.
