Still an active grave site, eligible Pearl Harbor veterans continue to be interred within the hull.Condition: The Arizona was partially salvaged, with removal of almost all the superstructure, turrets, and guns. Following salvage and removal, the remaining hull is completely submerged, with the exception of one barbette, part of a mast, and the cutaway sides of one turret. Since the hull contains thousands of gallons of fuel oil, the hull corrosion rate is being actively studied.Relics: A section of the boat deck has been placed at Waipio Point, Oahu, Hawaii.

One of the ship's bells is at the University of Arizona, and its anchor sits on the grounds of the Arizona State Capitol.USS UtahThe USS Utah Capsizing Destroyed by Japanese aerial torpedoes on December 7, 1941 during the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The Utah had been downgraded from a battleship and converted to a combined gunnery training ship and radio-controlled target ship.

Wrecked first by gunfire from US battleships, her hulk was sunk after being torpedoed by US destroyers.There is some discussion among historians about the small possibility that the positions and roles of the sister ships Fusō and Yamashiro were reversed during their last battle.

The Utah had been downgraded from a battleship and converted to a combined gunnery training ship and radio-controlled target ship.

Wrecked first by gunfire from US battleships, her hulk was sunk after being torpedoed by US destroyers.There is some discussion among historians about the small possibility that the positions and roles of the sister ships Fusō and Yamashiro were reversed during their last battle.

To date, there has been no scientific survey of the wrecks that would resolve the debate.Navy: Imperial Japanese NavyLoss: 10 survivors out of approximately 1,400 men.Location: Surigao Strait, Pacific OceanTirpitzThe Tirpitz capsized in 1944.
