USS Arizona (Battleship)

The USS Arizona was a battleship of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1916, and played a significant role in World War II. It is most famously known for its sinking during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, when Japanese forces attacked the naval base in Hawaii. The vessel was heavily damaged and exploded, with many crew members losing their lives. Today, the USS Arizona serves as an eternal memorial at Pearl Harbor, symbolizing American sacrifice and resilience, and is preserved underwater as a site of historical importance.
