Remote Control Battleship USS ARIZONA
 

The Arizona was moored in Pearl Harbor's “Battleship Row” on the morning of December 7, 1941, when Japanese aircrafts attacked. She was hit by several bombs which totally wrecked the forward hull, collapsing her forward superstructure and causing her to sink with 1,177 of the 1,512 of her crewmen.  On March 7th, 1950, Admiral Arthur W. Radford, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, instituted the raising of colors over Arizona’s remains. Legislation during the administrations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy designated the wreck a national shrine.  In 1950, USS Arizona began to be used as a site for memorial ceremonies, and in the early 1960s a memorial structure was constructed across the ship's sunken remains. 

Until today, the Arizona is still on commission.  She was awarded one battle star for her service in WWII.
