The USS Arizona Memorial is a memorial located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on USS Arizona during the attack on December 7, 1941. The memorial was built in 1962 and is accessible only by boat, straddling the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it. It commemorates the events of that day and is visited by over two million people annually. The memorial was designed by Alfred Preis and has a unique architecture that sags in the center but stands strong at the ends, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989. The USS Arizona Memorial is part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial and is operated by the National Park Service.learn more on wikipedia
