75 years ago a sneak attack by forces of the Japanese Empire sank or damaged much of the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor in the territory of Hawaii. The Japanese Empire came to regret doing this.
Dreadnought USS Arizona (BB-39) was commissioned in 1916. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, she was bombed and a powder magazine exploded. She sank and 1,177 members of her crew died. She was too damaged to raise, so she remains at the bottom of the harbor. The memorial opened in 1962.
