17 USS Arizona Anchor in Phoenix, Arizona

The USS Arizona was a U.S. Navy battleship launched in 1915. Her namesake is the 48th state admitted to the union. The ship was part of the Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941. 1,177 crewmembers died in the explosion. The wreck is now honored at the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii (see the O’ahu travel guides for photos). The ship’s mast and 16,000 pound anchor were salvaged and are on display in Wesley Bolin Plaza in Phoenix. The square contains 30 other memorials.
