Why Arizona battleship battleships important that others in 1941 when Pearl Harbor was bombed? I am confused about why the battleship USS Arizona was more important than the other battleships. Please answer this question if you know the answer.Thxs!
Not that it was more important, what's happened to him. More than half of total casulties of the day were sustained in the sinking of the USS Arizona, claiming 1,177 lives. A high-level bombing, ou''''Kate, hit the ammunition magazine ahead with a modified 40mm explosive shell, he tore the bow. its acquired more "glory" for these reasons. Most bodies were never removed and is now a protected war grave, still on the floor of Pearl Harbor. There is a visitor platform easy victory over the ship Pearl now so that people can visit and pay their respects.
It was sunk at Pearl Harbor to the loss of 1177 lives. More than 900 bodies remain in the submerged hull. The ship has been transformed into: The Battleship Arizona Memorial, staying exactly where it was sunk on Dec. 7, 1941. It serves as a way to not forget that the "day of infamy" (FDR).
It was not really. Before it destroys 7/12/1941 helped form part of the battle fleet, but has not been the most powerful U.S. Navy. It is part of a group called the "Big Five", California, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and Colorado.
Arizona has grown when it was destroyed by a bomb dropped during the attack.
