We spent out first night on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor. A convertible is a must to enjoy the great Hawaii weather.
A memorial was constucted over the top of the sunken USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Dec, 1941, the battleships at Pearl Harbor were all tighly packed together and lined up in a row; making them easier to depend from a submarine attack. However, it make them easy targest from the air. Over 2200 people were killed that day, with 1177 of those causulties occuring on the USS Arizona. The ship is the final resting place of 1102 sailors, who remain entombed inside.
