USS Arizona Memorial at Sunrise - a photo on Flickriver

            Commissioned on 17 October, 1916, USS Arizona (BB-39) was a Pennsylvania class battleship built for the United States Navy in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  

After a modernization she was transferred to Pearl Harbor in the then Territory of Hawaii in April 1940.  On the morning of December 7, 1941 she was attacked at her mooring in Pearl Harbor.  When a Japanese bomb exploded in her forward powder magazine the ship exploded violently and sank with the loss of 1177 United States Sailors and Marines including all of 21 members of the Navy's Unit Band 22.  

The memorial pictured here was dedicated on 30 May 1962 and spans the submerged hull.  Most of the 1177 men killed in the Pearl Harbor attack are still trapped inside the ship.  Today, survivors of the attack who were stationed aboard Arizona during the attack may hae their ashes interred within the hull of the ship by the National Park Service to rest with their shipmates departed.
