The USS Arizona, a ship of 32,600 tons, joined the Pacific Fleet in 1931. As a first line fighting ship, she was ever ready to meet any enemy. It is most ironic that she met her end as a sitting duck in the most devastating attack in the history of modern naval operations, Pearl Harbor. As she settled into the oily, muddy waters of Pearl Harbor, her flag was still flying from her stern, an inspiration to the other ships which would take her place.
