#2 Although the Arizona Memorial is for that ship, why can't we make it for every ship sank that day, and the crews who were on them? I already feel like the vision of the Arizona Memorial honors and symbolizes every man who died serving that day.

#3 Ship-
Oklahoma's final resting place is somewhere between Hawaii and California. The USN History Center site has some chilling pictures of Oklahoma as she was raised. The old girl really does deserve a memorial of her own - as she went over, Japanese torpedo planes broke off their attacks on other warships to go after her - those were torpedoes that didn't hit other ships. Her loss and the terrifying ordeal the men trapped inside her went through meant that other ships lived.
