USS Arizona Memorial
Admission includedStanding above the sunken hull of the battleship Arizona, this memorial in Pearl Harbor asks you to pause and reflect. Oil still rises slowly to the surface, a quiet reminder that the ship remains an active burial site for more than a thousand sailors. The USS Arizona Memorial connects you directly to one of the most significant moments in American history. The white structure spans the midship section of the wreck, and the stillness of the harbor around it makes the weight of that December morning feel immediate and real.
