USS Arizona (BB-39)
View of the starboard side of the sunken battleship's collapsed
foremast and midships area, taken at Pearl Harbor on 9 December
1941, two days after the Japanese attack that destroyed her.
A motor whaleboat is at left, apparently carrying an inspection
party.
On the opposite side of Arizona is USS Tern (AM-31),
spraying water on the still-hot wreckage.
Stern of USS West Virginia (BB-48), also sunk in the Japanese
raid, is at right.
