USS Arizona

The USS Arizona on the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked and she was torpedoed had one million gallons of oil on board.  She burned for two and a half days leaving approximately 350,000 gallons still on board.  About 2 to 9 quarts of oil seep out of her each day creating an eerily beautiful sheen on the water.





A very somber memorial to the men who lost their lives that day. A very well thought out museum tour and another must visit while on O'ahu.
