USS Arizona

The USS Arizona was a battleship of the United States Navy that was famously sunk during the surprise attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This attack led to the United States' entry into World War II. The ship suffered extensive damage from bombs, resulting in the deaths of 1,177 crew members. Today, the sunken wreck is a memorial, honoring those who lost their lives and symbolizing the impact of the attack on American history and military strategy. The Arizona remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war.
