Facts and practical information

The USS Arizona Memorial, situated in the vibrant city of Honolulu, stands as a solemn tribute to the 1,177 crewmen who lost their lives during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This hallowed site, part of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, marks the final resting place of the sunken battleship USS Arizona and is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war.

The stark white structure, accessible only by boat, spans the mid-portion of the sunken battleship, allowing visitors to pay their respects without disturbing the submerged relic. Upon arrival at the memorial, guests can observe the "shrine room," where the names of the fallen are engraved on a marble wall, serving as a powerful testament to those who gave their lives for their country.

The memorial park provides an educational experience with exhibits and documentaries that recount the events of that fateful day and its historical significance. Visitors can glean a deeper understanding of the impact of the Pearl Harbor attack on both the local community and the broader context of World War II.
