The U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at pearl Harbor, Hawaii is an enclosed bridge which transversely spans the sunken hull of the gallant battleship, U.S.S. Arizona. The hull, reszing on the bottom of the harbour, is clearly visible in this unique photograph. The blue streak talling from the bombed ship is oil still seeping from the rusting fuelk tanks. The Memorial was solemly dedicated May 30, 1962. Its end wall is inscribed with the names of more than 1100 men who lost their lives when U.S.S. Arizona went down during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
