Battleship row, 1999 - the Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri.
The Arizona marks the tragic entry of the United States into World
War II. On
the veranda deck of the Missouri
(just to the starboard of the second 16 inch gun turret in
this photo), the signing of the
Japanese
surrender document ended the war.
If you plan to visit the memorial, please note (from the National Park Service
Web site):
No purses, handbags, backpacks, camera bags, diaper bags, or other items
that offer concealment will be allowed in the visitor center or on the
Memorial tour. Strollers with
pockets and compartments will not be allowed.
Baggage storage lockers will not be available.
