Pearl Harbor is a naval base for navy ships, it is also holds a memorial of a sunken battleship of the USS Arizona. It was lost to japanese torpedo planes during the attack on Pearl Harbor back in The Great War. The top part of the ship has been removed but the body remains submerged underneath the surface. The ship is still leaking oil and bodies of the deceased are still inside the ship. Due to respect for the dead, the ship now is an under water graveyard for the men that lost their lives.

For those that survived and lived to tell their tale, were asked that if when they die, if they would like to be buried inside the ship with their crew mates.
