USS Arizona This photo by Mr. Brett Seymour captures the USS Arizona Memorial structure from a vantage point rarely seen, from the point of view of the submerges USS Arizona Battleship in Pearl Harbor. The battle-scarred and submerged remains of the battleship are the focal point of a shrine and usually viewed from above the water's surface. The memorial was erected by the people of the United States to honor and commemorate all American servicemen killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Launched in 1915 the
USS Arizona was moored at its Pearl Harbor berth when it was struck
and sunk by a Japanese bomb on the morning of December 7, 1941,
a day that President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared would "live
in infamy." The Arizona and a shrine erected between 1961 and
1962 that straddles its submerged remains honor and commemorate
the 1,177 members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps who perished
on the battleship.
