Arizona (battleship)

The USS Arizona was a battleship built for the United States Navy in the early 20th century. It is most famous for its role in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during World War II, when it was sunk by Japanese forces. This tragic event resulted in the loss of over 1,100 crew members. Today, the wreck of the Arizona lies submerged in Pearl Harbor, serving as a memorial to those who lost their lives and as a symbol of American resilience and sacrifice during the war. The site attracts visitors to honor its historical significance.
