USS Arizona

USS Arizona

Contrary to popular belief, the USS Arizona is no

longer in commission. As a special tribute to the
ship and her lost crew, the United States flag flies
from the flagpole, which is attached to the
severed mainmast of the sunken battleship. The
USS Arizona Memorial has come to commemorate
all military personnel killed in the Pearl Harbor
attack.

Before 7 am, the radar station at Opana Point

picked up a signal indicating a large flight of
Planes approaching from the north. These were
thought to be either aircraft flying in from the
carrier USS Enterprise or an anticipated flight of
B-17s from the mainland, so no action was taken.
