Thanks for the history, I was going by the numerous fires I saw in pictures. I don’t remember much of that day as I only 4 1/2 years old!
Yes the USS Arizona has a rainbow on the water above its grave. May her crew rest in peace!
I was born in 1954. I doubt they will ever raise the Arizona, since it’s a WW2 Memorial and a grave site- over 1000 men died and are still entombed in the wreckage. In a few days, it will be 80 years. I wouldn’t think that the oil still leaking from the Arizona would have much impact on the local environment.
It will be interesting to see what they will eventually find as the cause.
Yes been there twice and seen the sheen of oil on the water...No if the Japanese had launched a 3rd wave and targeted the fuel storage for the Pacific fleet the story would have been somewhat different but same results.
