USS ARIZONA BB-39 United States Navy Ship memorial cover honoring

Pearl Harbor 1941 Ships. This Pennsylvania Class battleship, was commissioned

in 1916. On December 7, 1941 she was moored at Ford Island on "battleship row"

and was struck by several enemy bombs one of which penetrated her ammunition

magazine and exploded upward in a small mushroom cloud that destroyed

most of her superstructure and caused her to sink. She lost 1,100 killed. 

The majority of casualties at Pearl Harbor that day were aboard the

USS Arizona. Today her memorial is open to the public as a silent

remembrance to the men who were killed in this surprise attack.

She is only second to the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) in the public

mind regarding US Navy history.
