A hallowed name in US history, Pearl Harbor was the site of the December 7, 1941, bombing by the Japanese that wrenched the United States into World War II. In total, nine U.S. ships were sunk and a further 21 damaged, and the eventual death toll was 2,350.
Pearl Harbor is still a Navy base today, and a National Historic Landmark. For visitors, the focus is the USS Arizona memorial, protecting the remains of the American battleship destroyed in seconds during the attack.
The USS Utah was also sunk, and there is a memorial on nearby Ford Island. The highlight of the harbor's Bowfin Park is the submarine USS Bowfin and the adjacent memorial museum, packed with memorabilia and exhibits.

We were able to go below to see the mens quarters, dining rooms, showers, dentist office, offices where the old computer and phone still set in place. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Would encourage anyone visiting Hawaii to take the time to visit.

The entire trip and presentation were very powerful and the bonus was meeting four wonderful men who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor that day in 1941. Wow!!
