 U.S.S. Missouri and Arizona Memorial by Redlats We spent a day at Pearl Harbour - you have to start early in the day to see everything. There are really three different ships to see, and the free tickets to the USS Arizona get given out first-come, first-served. See the Arizona Memorial first -- the tribute to the 1,200 Americans still buried with their ship on the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour (Dec. 7, 1941). You see a movie, then board a boat to the Memorial which straddles the USS Arizona sitting just below sea level. Sixty years after it happened, and oil still seeps from the sunken ship - reflecting rainbow colours off the top of the ocean - almost poetic. Next, tour the U.S.S.Bowfin -- a WW II submarine. You get to board the sub and re-live a WW II mission via a self-guided tour on a walkman. The final ship at the site is the U.S.S.Missouri - The Mighty Mo -- the battleship on which the Japanese officially surrendered after WW II. The Missouri also saw action in the Gulf war. The Battleship Missouri is a huge ship - easy to get lost on her. By the way, if you actually do visit all three ships in one day, it is a l-o-n-g day. Our kids (who are older teens) lost patience with historic ships somewhere between the Bowfin and the Missouri. The Arizona Memorial is free - After the Arizona, just around the corner is the Bowfin. Tickets for the Bowfin and the Missouri are bought at the same spot. The price in 2001 to see both is $18 for older-than-kids. Leave a Comment Directions: Pearl Harbour

Honolulu public buses stop regularly at the Visitor Center and can be boarded in Waikiki. The #20 and #42 bus will take you to the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center. No purses allowed. The most of the visitors got emotional after watch the documentary, before they take you to the memorial. Try to be early. Leave a Comment

 USS Arizona Memorial by Bwana_Brown One of the defining events of the 20th Century was the surprise attack on the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbour, on Dec. 7, 1941. Symbolizing the emotions unleashed by this event are the remnants of the battleship USS Arizona - sunk at its moorings during the air strike. The 31,400 ton Arizona, launched in 1915, sank while at anchor, after receiving several bomb and torpedo hits, resulting in the loss of 1103 men out of its total crew of 1400. To memorialize this event, the ship was declared a national shrine in 1962. A footnote to history - its two main rear turrents, comprising six 14-inch naval guns, were removed after its sinking, to be used for coastal defence of the Islands. Another footnote: I spent the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbour walking the length of Manhatten to the site of the still smouldering ruins of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, to say a little prayer for those souls as well.
