With over 2 million visitors per year, Pearl Harbor is the most visited site in all of the Hawaiian Islands. The USS Arizona Memorial is one of the most popular memorials at Pearl Harbor, attracting curious visitors who wish the see the sunken ship. The memorial is built on top of the sunken Battleship USS Arizona located on Battleship Row at Ford Island. The 75-minute tour includes a 25-minute film, a Navy boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, and time to walk through the Memorial and time to give your respects.

What You'll See

Visiting the USS Arizona Memorial starts with a shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial where you will board the memorial followed by an introduction by a National Park Ranger, and an impressive 23-minute documentary film. The only way to access the Arizona Memorial is by this Navy Shuttle boat on this tour.  

The first room of the memorial holds flags of the states from which the eight battleships of Battleship Row were named and a state flag from Utah from which the USS Utah was named. The USS Utah was not on battleship row, but still rests in Pearl Harbor and is memorialized on the far side of Ford Island.

The second room of the memorial is the large open area where you can reflect quietly and view the remains of the sunken USS Arizona below.  Ceremonies are held in the Assembly Room.

In the back of the memorial is a marble wall with the names of the 1,177 Sailors and Marines who died on the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor. This room is called The Shrine Room and it also honors the men who served on the USS Arizona and survived, but have chosen to be interred along with their shipmates.

Manning the Rail - If your visit is when a ship is entering Pearl Harbor, you may witness sailors “manning the rail”.  This is a beautiful tradition to honor all who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor. Sailors stand along the rails of their ship and salute the memorial.

The History of the USS Arizona Memorial

Builders first began working on the USS Arizona back in 1914. Many believed the ship would be named the North Carolina after the home state of Josephus Daniels – Secretary of the Navy at that time – but upon its completion, it was called the Arizona instead.

On June 19, 1915, the USS Arizona officially launched, but its first few years saw a number of mechanical problems. In 1917, the ship finally joined the Atlantic fleet, though she was mainly used as a training ship during World War I. Though a proud ship, she relied on oil, which was more scarce than coal at the time. The other ships fighting in the British Grand Fleet used coal, and the USS Arizona stayed out of heavy combat. After the war ended, the USS Arizona served as one of the escort ships bringing President Woodrow Wilson to Paris for the Paris Peace Conference.

Over the next few decades, the ship mainly carried cargo and passengers, and it was completely modernized. President Hoover used it to travel down to the Caribbean for a vacation. When an earthquake struck San Pedro while the USS Arizona was docked there, the ship provided shelter, first aid, and communications for the people impacted by the earthquake. The ship even starred in a movie titled,  Here Comes the Navy .

In October 1941, the USS Oklahoma struck the USS Arizona with a torpedo while out doing a routine exercise. No one was seriously injured, but the ship had to be dry-docked in Pearl Harbor while it was repaired.

USS Arizona’s Magazines Explode

When the Japanese began their attack on Pearl Harbor just after 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona was hit almost immediately. At 8:10 a.m., an 800-kilogram bomb dropped right on the starboard side, and moments later, the forward magazine powder lit up, exploding and destroying that part of the ship. Two turrets fell 20 feet, and the forward superstructure and foremast came falling into the void left by the previous explosion. Fires broke out across the ship.

Many brave men and women fought to defend the ship and rescue those who were trapped as the ship went down, but in the end, most of the crew members – 1,177 total – died on the ship.

In the months that followed Pearl Harbor and for the duration of the war, the USS Arizona became a symbol to the soldiers and citizens. It symbolized what was being fought for – freedom and the lives of the crew members who tragically lost their lives at Pearl Harbor. Efforts were made to recover the bodies of those trapped on board, but over 900 of them were never found. Parts of the ship were also scrapped, but until the 1950s, the USS Arizona stayed at the bottom of the harbor.

The Memorial

It wasn’t until 1958 that legislation came through the Hawaiian government to create a memorial in honor of the great ship. The Navy would not only be allowed to build the memorial, but they would also be able to accept donations. Perhaps the most famous donation came from rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley. His 1961 concert helped raise a great deal of funds to go to the project.

The memorial was designed by Honolulu architect Alfred Preis, whose design was chosen in a contest.This brilliant designer of the USS Arizona Memorial fled Austria to avoid persecution from the Nazis. The memorial was designed to look similar to a milk carton with open walls on both sides. Preis intended the structure to sag in the middle and stand strong and vigorous on both ends, expressing initial defeat and ultimate victory. The memorial does not touch the sunken ship, but visitors can easily see the ship below them.

In 1960, construction on the memorial finally began, and on Memorial Day 1962, the USS Arizona memorial officially opened. Nearly two decades later, a visitor’s center was built on the shore next to the wreck, and the National Park Service took over the management of the memorial from the Navy.

The USS Arizona Memorial was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989. The memorial gives a feeling of serenity and pride.

History of Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor National Monument

President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved in 1958, legislation calling for the creation of USS Arizona Memorial to honor the memory of the military personnel that perished under the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The US Navy was managing the USS Arizona Memorial until 1980 after which the National Park Service took the responsibility. The USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center was built and inaugurated by the US Navy and the National Park Service that very year.

Client’s Testimonials

Pick up was right on time in a luxurious van and our driver Tom was great, very professional. Spent the whole day exploring Pearl Harbor and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the full day tour so you can experience everything Pearl Harbor has to offer.

It got off to a rough start. Pickup was late because of traffic but the driver got us to Pearl Harbor on time. He was very courteous and made sure we were ok before he let us go on our way. The city tour was fun.

We had an awesome time at Pearl Harbor. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and polite. We will definitely use this service again on our next trip to Hawaii.

M. Santiago

Great service. Highly recommended.

We had a smooth ride from our Waikiki hotel to the Arizona Memorial today! Our guide was very knowledgeable and upbeat, was right on time and a complete gentleman. We appreciated the great service!

My wife and I flew over from Maui for a one day visit as we wanted to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial and take a quick spin of Oahu. The flight, Pearl Harbor tour was set up as a package deal through this company. The flight was smooth, and the visit to the memorial was unforgettable. It was sobering and

We really enjoyed this tour. We were picked up right on time at our hotel and taken to the Pearl Harbor area. Our tour guide, walked us into the park and gave us all the details of where and what to see. He gave an explanation of what we would see. Everthing was well planned and our guide even pointed out several landmarks on the drive back to the hotel. Timing was perfect. I highly recommend this tour. The pickup was essentially on time. Our driver was great. Very patient and relatively soft spoken. He was a wealth of knowledge and I could tell well read. He got us to our destination on time. Explained how to get to our boat on time to the Arizona Memorial and to the Missouri. Our guide was knowledgable and we had a brief tour of downtown Honolulu and the Punchbowl. The vans were very clean and the AC worked well. The seats were comfortable and we weren’t crowded. We’ll definitely book again next time in Honolulu.

Our guide was great. He took us around and gave us great city tour showing us lots of highlights in the city. He was very knowledgeable and gave recommendations for other sights we might want to see.

Our tour guide was very prompt and professional. He was easy to understand and talked loudly enough that everyone could hear. A city tour followed our Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial Tour. Very enjoyable.

We took this tour to Pearl Harbor on a windy rainy day and that caused some disappointment. I have to say first off that our driver, was excellent and tried to make the best of it. Once we got to the memorial park we were informed it was too windy for the Park Service/Navy to drive the boat out to the memorial itself, so after waiting for our scheduled time slot to see a 20-minute movie (that was good) we were left with over an hour to kill, in the rain, waiting for our van to return. The rest of the tour was ok, with a stop at the palace for a brief photo op, and some driving through other attractions, but overall the weather killed the experience for us.

1. One of the best days to come to Pearl Harbor is on Dec 7th, this day has the most activities for visitors to experience, yet it’s one of the slowest days of the year.

2. Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum is the only Aviation Museum in the country on an actual WWII battleground.

3. A few years ago, without notice, the US Navy sailors decided to end the USS Arizona Memorial shuttle early, with the excuse of bad weather, so that they could watch the Super Bowl. This led to hundreds of complaints that afternoon to the National Park Service, which in turn went to the Admiral of Pearl Harbor the next day. Needless to say, it never happened again.

A Grass Valley veteran hailed by President Biden as a hero will be remembered in his hometown on Tuesday.

Lou Conter , the last living survivor on board the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, died earlier this month at age 102.

A memorial service for Conter will take place on Tuesday morning.

The service will take place at St. Patrick's Church at 235 Chapel Street in Grass Valley at 10:30 a.m.

The service is open to the public and organizers expect 100% capacity as people near and far will pay their respects.

The Grass Valley Police Department will enforce traffic closures in the immediate area of the church to enhance pedestrian safety.

The closures will impact South Church and Chapel Street by 8:30 a.m., the police department said. Traffic control is expected to be lifted by 12:30 p.m.

The memorial will conclude with a procession to St. Patrick's Cemetery on West Main Street. The public is invited to line the sidewalks along South Church and West Main to view the procession.

Family members told KCRA 3 the ceremony will include full military honors.

Last year, Conter shared his story and recollections about the attack on Pearl Harbor with KCRA 3.

"There was no time to do anything,” Conter said. “It happened so fast."

Twenty-one ships were sunk or significantly damaged and 2,400 Americans were killed, with another 1,100 wounded.

Following Conter's death on April 1, President Joe Biden hailed him as a hero.

"Our hearts are with Lou Conter’s family and friends, and all those he served with over the years, including his shipmates on the U.S.S. Arizona," the president wrote in a statement. "May God bless and keep them."

Maynard James Keenan's Sessanta setlist: What A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus played

Maynard James Keenan made a solid case for turning 60 as the new “you won’t believe what happens next” when the Sessanta Tour hit Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix on Tuesday, April 16, for a two-night stand, the second night of which falls on his actual 60th birthday.

The premise of the tour is that members of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus will not only share a stage but also musicians as the night unfolds, resulting in some truly awe-inspiring feats of musical cross-pollination.
