JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii — Sailors from the U.S. Navy’s Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) 1, with the aid of U.S. Navy contractors, remove a mooring platform, Sept. 15, 2025, as visitors tour the USS Arizona Memorial. Members of MDSU-1, advised by the U.S. Navy’s Supervisor of Salvage and Diving and supported by locally contracted salvors, are extracting two World War II-era mooring platforms from the USS Arizona hull to help preserve the ship. In the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, the Navy installed these mooring platforms to aid in the salvaging of the Pennsylvania-class battleship’s ammunition and armament for reutilization in the ongoing war effort.
