To: null and void

Just checked. You are correct. All were refloated and returned to service except Arizona. Oklahoma was lost being towed back to the US.
I’ve read that the superstructure of the Arizona above the water line was dumped somewhere in the Hawaiian jungle.

Nearby on Waipio peninsula. We were doing some testin g over there and I was able to walk up to the pile of debris. Gazillion rivets in huge chunks of rusting iron. Nothing recognizable, it was not a neatly arranged thing.

From Google Earth, it looks like they have cordoned the area off now. Was not because of me!
