Everyone has seen the images from December 7, 1941 of the Arizona as she lies burning in Pearl Harbor
The scene is much more serene today as you look across the harbor at the Arizona Memorial and the mighty USS Missouri keeping watch
At the visitors center you board a boat and the Park Service takes you across to the Memorial
People are very quiet as they walk up the ramp. This is the final resting place for 1,102 of the 1,177 men that died on the Arizona
A gun turret sits above the water line
75 years later she is still leaking oil
An aerial view that I did not take
As you leave the Arizona Memorial you can drive across the bridge to Ford Island and visit the USS Missouri
The 16 inch guns on the Mighty Mo
The spot on the deck where the Japanese signed the unconditional surrender ending World War II
For the final pic I am standing in a spot where you can see the beginning and the end of World War II in one photo
