I dove on the Arizona back in 1965, (I think). We escorted a local news paper reporter down to get some shots for his paper article due on Dec. 7 of that year. It was an interesting dive but had limited visibility. The marine growth was far less and we were not allowed inside. I still have the finished article stored in my garage buried behind some junk. Seeing your article brought back fond memories.

I recently read a book about the attack. Written by a survivor of the USS Arizona explosion. He described the waiting for the bomb to explode second by second, his thoughts and the facts about how much oil, gunpowder, and other munitions were stored below. 7 seconds went by and after those, it blew up three times. The first time was small, the second enough to incinerate men, and the last enough to blow the ship in half, throw hundreds of body parts everywhere (including Ford Island), throw flames onto the USS Vestal (killing men onboard both ships), and incinerate men into nothing but ash. The description of the events was truly horrifying.

How much of the things like boots, cups even a coke bottle were actually not from the Arizona but from the work barges when they were stripping her for salvageable parts. Also work was still being done in 1945 to remove exposed wreckage .

[@Maring0418]

Divers go inside practically every other wreck there is. 1,517 people died (roughly 400 more than on the USS Arizona) on the RMS Titanic, but people still go freely in and around her wreck. I think it's a bad choice in the long-run not to excavate and explore the Arizona's present condition on the inside if you guys really want to keep the thing in your harbour. Like, it's still spewing out oil and fuel. Perhaps something should be done about that? I don't know, I'm not an american.

[@GreatFreedom]

the difference between titanic and arizona is simple that anyone with common sense would know this which you lack.. titanic WAS a PUBLIC ship so no restrictions really but its also 15k below sea level.. arizona IS n will still be a NAVY ship and unless the navy outright says people can go inside.. the navy has juristiction to it. just like uss iowa the navy has her as a memorial ship but could easily tak her back n reinstateh er for active duty after a retro fit.. so until the navy gives away the ship like uss texas to the state of arizona(which it will never do) navy says no one allowed in.. no one goes in..

[@Maring0418]

Yeah, it's the navy's property. But the navy can't suddenly start using the Arizona for war efforts, like they could do with the Iowa. Arizona serves no purpose other than being a cemetary - a environmentally dangerous one. The point I was trying to make is that as far as I knew when writing that comment one month ago, the only restriction I knew of was the fact that a lot of people had died there. Lots of people have died in other wrecks too, many times with far more casualties than during the sinking of the Arizona. But as you argue for the fact that only the navy is in the way of looking for methods of preservation or containment of the dangerous chemicals leaking from it's hull, I wonder why the navy doesn't do anything about it? There's a universal denial of the global warming in the U.S. of A., I know, but why doesn't the navy even consider the possibilities?

[@GreatFreedom]

its lower decks are all submerged below the sealevel.. where all the oil remaining is store navy known about it since it sank.. the best they can do is collect it as it surfaces n when it surfaces because there is nothign they can do without disturbing the war cemetary its not about glboal warming never has been.. also arizona was to never sail again it was that far gone alot of the ships sunk during perl harbor were repurposed for other ships using theiir scrap to repair other ships arizona is one ofthose ships that was sunk unable to be salvaged or brought up n repaired it was that bad compared to others..

[@madiemclaughlin964]

The national parks service has been monitoring the oil spillage and it has not had any large effects on the ecosystem and the most of the oil is a thin film on the surface and there isn't any effective way to get that off. It leaks about 2 pints a day so spewing doesn't have the right meaning. (sorry I am being picky) over 1100 people died in the ship where in other shipwrecks they died in the water like titanic. The ship is considered a cemetery so disrupting the actual ship the way they would need to in order to clean up would be like digging up a grave. If a grave is over a hundred years old is different from when it is less than 100 years old.

Why did it take this long to send divers? Have any of the remains of the dead, been recovered, after the war in 1941? Can anyone please reply...please

[@therealtracyduh]

What are you talking about? Did you search on this before asking? Divers have been regularly inspecting the ship since 1942. The ship was hit by a 1,760-pound projectile. The entire front portion was destroyed and the fires burned everything in its path, cremating 1177 men. The fires continued for 2½ days. Proper inspection didn't take place for a few months (remember we were now at war, manpower and resources were scarce). Inspection discovered that access to the front portion of the ship was completely blocked by debris and great sheets of metal grotesquely twisted there made a very unsafe environment. The second deck had collapsed and virtually melted into the lower decks. Some bodies were recovered, but 900 could not be. The ship is their final resting place and is designated as a military gravesite. Of the bodies they were able to get out, 107 were identified. The rest were severely dismembered or partially cremated, making identification impossible (no DNA testing in 1941), so they were buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific as unknowns. Also the surviving Arizona crewmen are given the option of being interred in the sunken battleship. Many of them have chosen to have their ashes spread over the site or have their urn lowered into the ship when they die so they can return to their ship and their brothers. I was stationed on Hickam AFB twice in my career and have visited the memorial several times. It's a very moving experience. There is a wall with the names of the sailors engraved on it there. The memorial is free to the public.
