Introduction

Pearl Harbor, by Honolulu on Oʻahu, is where the 7 December 1941 attack drew the US into World War II. Today the National Park Service manages memorials, the most solemn being the USS Arizona Memorial—a white saddle-shaped structure spanning the sunken battleship, honouring over a thousand servicemen still aboard. Visitors cross by ferry in silence; nearby, the USS Missouri and the Bowfin submarine museum trace the arc from attack to victory. Hawaii's heaviest yet most reverent stop.
