Additional commentary.
1. U.S.S. Arizona marker
This is one of several markers scattered around the base & surrounding area, memorializing not only the battleships attacked on Dec 7th, but also other ships such as the Ward, Monaghan, etc. They are all the same types of plaques, most mounted on white pedestals like Arizona, a few not. Several of these markers, like Arizona's, contain incorrect information.
