I can't imagine what it was like to live through that. RIP
My bday is the 7th, so naturally I've been to Pearl.Sorry for the crappy pics they are all on film and my phone just isn't taking a quality copy.

The Arizona is free to see, there's a 15 minute movie you watch before taking a boat ride out into the harbor, provided by the Navy.
Besides from the oil leaking out of the Arizona, you can see a turret.If I remember right, after the explosion one of the forward gun turrets was the tallest section of the ship, then the turret was removed afterwards for preservation or something like that.
Its a really nice place to visit, the USS Missouri is in Pearl Harbor, so you get to witness where the war began and ended all in one trip.The tour guide on the Missouri said that the Navy had doubts about the Japanese actually surrendering, so they kept the 16" guns aimed at the Emperors Palace until representatives were actually on board.

A map of Pearl Harbor
Inside of the USS Arizonas Memorial there's a list of the names of the sailors who lost their lives, RIP.Unfortunately during the era, family was allowed to serve in the same unit, so alot of names on this list are followed by brothers and cousins.Some families suffered a very great loss.
The USS Arizona
The USS Missouri is parked in Battleship Row now, it was the most impressive sight I have ever seen.Its almost like the Missouri is there to watch out for her fallen mates.
You can see the USS Arizona Memorial and the Missouri together in this photo.
