Visiting Pearl Harbor and seeing the remains of the Arizona, still trapped underwater and serving as a tomb for many of its crew, was one of the most moving experiences of my life.  It’s not something that you’ll ever forget.  You really don’t understand the full tragedy of Pearl Harbor until you visit for yourself.  There have been several films made about Pearl Harbor, some better than others.  Here are shots from four of them.
