Shipwreck · Pearl Harbor, Hawaiʻi
USS Arizona
The battleship sunk in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, with the loss of 1,177 of her crew; the ship is the final resting place for more than 900 of them. The base of one of her turrets rises just above the water, and the rest of the hull lies beneath it, visible when the water is clear. The white USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated in 1962, spans 184 ft across the sunken hull without touching it. Visitors reach it on the memorial boat program from the Pearl Harbor National Memorial visitor center, with free tickets reserved ahead on Recreation.gov. She is a war grave inside an active naval base, not a dive site.
