I would add to your list the USS Missouri. I was on the committee to bring MO to SFO. We got no support from Feinstien, Boxer, Dellums, The Chron, or any other congresscritter. Knowing what I know now, I'm glad she went to Hawaii. It's actually more appropriate for her to be in Hawaii, since the war with Japan started there, and ended on the deck of the Mighty Mo.

Point well taken. USS Arizona and USS Missouri make excellent bookends for WWII.
