We visited the Arizona memorial a couple of years ago. Very moving. Especially knowing that it is a grave site of over a thousand service men.

Sadly, there are fewer and fewer living service men and women from that era.

Cool satellite view of the Arizona.

I don’t know how “cool” it is but it does make you think.

I was on Ford Island last month - almost forgotten is the Utah, she’s on the other side of Ford Island, partially above the water - 60+ still on board. They finally built a walkway to the edge of the water where you can stand and pay respect. No tours that I know of though.
