It is amazing to see it. Going to it on the boat everyone was talking, laughing etc.having a good time. Once we stepped foot on the memorial everyone went silent. Thinking about what happened back then. These were kids mostly 18 ,19 or so. In beautiful Hawaii where they no doubt felt safe as could be. My cousin was on one of the ships. He did survive with out a scratch. It is awesome and erie to see the ship in the water knowing so many never made it out of there. Thank Elvis for this memorial
I’ve built models of her and I use an Arizona in world of warships. Tragically I’ve never had the honor of visiting this place of honor, I intend to do so long before I leave this world. Yet one of many reasons I do not want to die by covid 19. As to your cousin and to you if you served I thank you for what you did and for why you did it. Freedom does not come cheap
Thank you for posting and a few moments of silence while filming was very respectful. I was stationed at Pearl while on a submarine and while at port I would see the Arizona on the right and Diamondhead on the left. Just a reminder of those lost and the pride that we have serving our country.
My family and I are so grateful for all of the hero's who gave their life for our freedom. Rest in peace hero's you will never be forgotten with love and respect..
it's so surreal. having been stationed in Hawaii and visiting this historic place, reminds me how it must have been to not only been in Hawaii at that time but to be serving onboard her. RIP shipmates!
Very moving. I can remember going to that site and standing in front of that huge wall with so many names. what I felt that day I felt once before at the Alamo. The spirit was there.
I visited the Arizona in 1986 as a Marine, I was with the Marine Detachment from the ENTERPRISE. I have some photos of the oil coming out of the hull, all most the whole Marine Detachment died on the ship, I believe 82 died. I have a number of relatives from both sides of my family still on board. RIP 🇺🇸
As a young Marine I visited the Arizona and cried. To this day I don’t understand why humans think they must oppress another human. I tried to visit all the memorials but could not. Thank you to the old school vets and their families. You left us a great nation and it has been squandered. So sorry!
My Uncle Served on the USS Arizona. Before the attack at Pearl Harbor. We went about 9 years ago after his death and spread some of his ashes. So tahnkful for the sacirfice of so many for us to live like we do today. So many fellow vets served and died for this country while others don;t know what it means to sacrafice anything. RIP you will never be forgotten
How does getting caught by complete surprise and getting slaughtered barley fighting back and powerless to defend a base being invaded by a lot of Japanese planes that are getting a killing spree on Americans a sacrifice?
My Mom's cousin Asbury Booze is in the watery grave. He was on the Arizona. My Dad joined the Navy right after this happened. The Greatest Generation. RIP
@@obamabinboolin8128 The question was: How many parents died knowing their sons were already dead, having gone down with the USS Arizona on December 7th, 1941. My guess is anywhere between 1500 to 2000 (parents) considering the number of lives lost in the sinking was 1,177
If you get away from Ford Island and dive in Pearl Harbor the water has a tea like stain to it. Go out side of the harbor and the water is clear. Around Ford Island it is cloudy I was lucky enough to tour the memorial while stationed at Schofield Barracks back in the mid 70s. It is a solemn place.
Wow, the Titanic looks more preserved than the USS Arizona. The Titanic sank in 1912, the USS Arizona 1941 but it looks more ravaged by the sea life than the Titanic. God Bless all the brave that died on the Arizona and the folks from the Titanic.
The reason is that there is less sea life down by Titanic and the water current is much slower, my guess in the many Titanic documentaries I've seen about the Titanic,
I thought that I read that the Guns from the "Arizona " had been removed right after the attack and reused on other ships. Maybe I am Mistaken. As a Navy veteran of Nam She still holds a special place in the hearts of all Who sail the oceans blue.
9 of the original 12 main 14" rifles were removed for coastal gunnery placement. She had 4 main turrets and each turret had 3 of these 14" Diameter rifles. The 3 front turret riffles were left on board as can be seen in this underwater video.
I too have heard that, and it is a touching sentiment. When you stop to think about how much oil was on the ship, and even after the conflagration at and after the bomb blast, and the deterioration of the steel, to still leak oil to this day (right now, it's been over 79 years), it is quite remarkable and perhaps lends credence to this theory. I personally have seen the oil drops come to the surface and dissipate, and watching that filled me with a sense of connection to the souls onboard, and with a sense of calm, as if they were telling me they are at peace. Some folks may say that's hokey, but I pity people like that. As a retired Navy Chief, every man on that ship is my brother, my shipmate, and we share a bond not known by those who haven't served.
@TheJer1963 my condolences to your family. I am a true lover of US militar history. I wish my country had the nationalism USA has. What a great ship ill visit someday.
Just imagine seeing one of these ships in their prime. I find it sad that eventually battleships will be nothing but scrap metal and people will grow up without knowing they existed and even though there are battleships turned into floating museums and memorials I most likely will never get to see one.
Moss Man Especially in honor of the 33+ survivors who have subsequently had their ashes interned by the Fourth Gun Turret to be w/their shipmates for Eternity
THEY SHOULD CONSTRUCT A DAM AROUND HER, AND UNDER, PUMP THE WATER OUT, REMOVE THE SILT, RESTORE THE SHIP, MAKE A CEMETERY FOR THE REMAINS AND REMOVE THE ITEMS INSIDE HER, FOR DISPLAY IN A MUSEUM...CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY OBJECTS ARE STORED INSIDE HER???
THE IDEA IS GOOD, BEAR WITH ME...SO MUCH IS LOST FOR WANT OF PRESERVATION AS PART OF THE PROCESS...SO MUCH IS LOST WHEN THINGS ARE ABANDONED (THE GOOD FOR PRIDE, THE BAD FOR LEARNING)...THE ISLANDS ARE RICH...A FUND WOULD BE POSSIBLE...TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE !!!!
AS A MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM FOR THE TOURISM INDUSTRY I THINK WOULD BE SOUND...A FEE OF 1 US$ PER TOURIST VISITING THE ISLANDS , TAX SHELTERS ETC. FOR A TIME, WOULD FOOT THE BILL IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE , THE POLITICAL FIGHT ON THE OTHER HAND WOULD BE HARD...
no one wants to go down there because of all the dead bodies. They would stop the oil leakage too, but the bodies are so torn up and in shambles that no one wants to even try (some have went inside). Also, they cannot get to the oil to stop it.
Most if not all of the sailors who died on USS Arizona died instantly and their bodies were vaporized by the huge explosions and fire that burned for days after.
THAT OIL IS THE ARIZONA'S "BLOOD" WENT THERE WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN IN THE MILITARY IN TRANSIT TO ANOTHER WAR. ONLY ONE OTHER PLACE MOVED ME THE WAY THIS PLACE MOVED ME AND THAT'S ARLINGTON NATIONAL MEMORIAL CEMETERY.
Jenelle Hudson No. the bodies of the some 1,000 sailors and marines are still entombed in the ship. the Navy did not want to take the ship out of the water because it was so badly damaged and they could not respectfully remove the bodies of the bodies, so they were declared buried at sea
They have traveled extensively inside the Arizona with remotes only. Never any divers. That is forbidden. There are no bodies to be seen, as the water, and marine life have disposed of their remains long, long ago. There are several inside-the-ship videos, here on RUclips, if you look around.
@@GJones462-2W1 The Park Service divers (the National Park Service is responsible for the Arizona today) can only go forward as far as roughly Turret 2. Anything further forward simply collapsed into itself from the explosion that killed her. There are line drawings that show her outline before and after the explosion. Everything forward of Turret 2 collapsed something like 30 feet like crushing a Coke can.
As far as I know, harbour and adjacent places should be much deep, for ships to move at ease. But Pearl Harbour is not at all deep, for the wreck of USS Arizona is visible from the surface and the funnels are peeping above the water surface for 79 years...
The average depth of Pearl Harbor is 45ft. It is plenty deep. It just does not seem that way because "Battleship Row" was right next to Ford Island which is obviously not as deep as the main channels.
All of the battleships moored alongside Ford Island were fully fueled after completing an exercise at sea the week before. She's been leaking fuel oil for 79 years (2020) and probably will for many more.
msirull...at this point it doesnt even matter...the navy has damaged both east and west lochs so bads that pearls from the harbor havent been seen or pulled from the harbor in 40 plus years.....
There are many bodies that went down with that ship but the ocean is like acid over time.... dissolves the flesh as well as bone then you have the sea life feeding off whatever is rotting. Most you will see if you entered the ship is clothing and rusted dog tags
And to think that ship is there due to the horrible unpredictable nature of human beings. Even though I know people back in the early days had a different mindset which was almost evil like as if people of different cultures were merely non human. That ship represents to me a era in human history I would much rather forget than remember
there are but probably not as much as there was when the fire was put out maybe like the dead skin has been gone for awhile now and the body may have been eaten by fish
i find it weird people say them who died inside the ship now "rest in peace" , no they aint, either they got hit by bombs,fire or drowned, that aint a resting place. but at that time i dunno if we humans even knew how to raise big ships as this like we can today, and today is a bit to late for those poor souls still inside that hell.
@@puritycontrol9783 do some research moron, about 200 bodies were recovered from the wreckage; an unknown number were completely consumed by fire including the Commanding Officer
This is an environmental disaster in the works. Half a MILLION gallons of fuel oil just waiting to bust out and cause catastrophic damage to the harbor. It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL to delay pumping it all out. It's not in the LEAST bit disrespectful to the poor souls who perished to proceed with this task.

That drop of oil at the end....WOW...how symbolic! The Arizona still bleeds.
and she will for the next 500 years

very cool! and haunting at the same time

#1 turret is the only one with the rifles intact.
the fore turret war removed the midship and aft turrets still temain
What is that sound? Sounds like an old LP.
I've heard that, when the last surviving Pearl Harbor survivor dies, the oil will stop as you put "bleeding". I believe that!!

would you mind telling me about your reletive who is there?
This is very, very interesting to hear. If it's ok, would you mind telling me a bit about your relative?
70 years later and we still don't have the technology to salvage that.
They could but they leave it as a part of the memorial

you definitely do not know anything about this
It could be salvaged & raised but its a grave now leave it as it is, for its sleeping. It wont seem proper to interrupt its internment & the crew.

I think about the crew that retired and left the Arizona prior to it’s death. I wonder what they went through ? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
is there still bodies in the USS Arizona???
WanonaS Over 1000 of them. Almost 1200 men got killed when the USS Arizona got sunk.
The actual count was 1,177 officers and men.
I went to the U.S.S. Arizona in Pearl Harbor Hawaii.
Wow
