Featuring the official Arizona Memorial Navy Tour and the USS
Missouri Battleship
Description
Understand, remember and honor the heroes of December 7th, 1941 as you
experience WWII from the attack at Pearl Harbor, to the surrender by
Japan on the decks of the USS Missouri. On your way to Pearl Harbor,
hear an extraordinary, live narration of ''a day which will live in
infamy'' as your professional guide recounts the events of the first
attack on the USA. There, you will experience the official Pearl Harbor
Tour, which includes a dramatic film containing actual footage of the
attack, a Navy boat ride, and a visit to the Arizona Memorial. At the
Memorial, you will visit the Shrine Room and reflect on the names of the
1,177 men resting on the sunken battleship below. At the National park
take time to browse through the fascinating Arizona Memorial WWII Museum
exhibits and visit the gift shop where you can find WWII books,
souvenirs, and memorabilia. You will also view battleship row, a WWII
submarine, the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet, and the ''black
tears of the Arizona''.
Take a trip through history to the deck of the USS Missouri where the
Peace treaty ending WWII was signed. See the dent caused by a Kamikaze
plane as it nearly destroyed this famous warship. Learn the real story
behind the ''Mighty MO''.
Experience life after the Pearl Harbor attack, by visiting the martial
law court and Hawaii WWII Museum. Then visit Hawaii's Army Museum,
housing numerous guns, tanks, and helicopters. Once a bastion built to
protect Hawai'i from invading forces, today this museum tells the
military story of Hawai'i.
