Pearl Harbor, Oahu Day 2

U.S.S. Arizona memorial
The memorial is built over the remains of the sunken battleship USS Arizona, the final for many of the 1,177 crewmen killed on December 7, 1941 when their ship was bombed by Japanese naval forces.
It was so windy that the Navy wouldn’t allow the ferries to dock at the memorial, so instead they cruised around the harbor so everyone could take pictures.
