USS Arizona Memorial

This guide to the USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu returns to a quiet Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, when a single bomb found its way into the battleship's ammunition magazines within seconds of the attack's start. It follows two of the ship's officers, Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd and Captain Franklin Van Valkenburgh, both later awarded the Medal of Honor, and the shipmates who never made it home. Look for the faint sheen still rising from the wreck below, oil sailors call the black tears of the Arizona.
