Pearl Harbor

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to pay a visit to Pearl Harbor. Below are some pictures that were taken there. I went out to the memorial for the U.S.S. Arizona, where you are actually standing directly above the sunken ship.

(This picture was taken while on the memorial, so the actual sunken ship you're seeing was directly beneath. This ship began leaking oil into harbor when it first sank, and it still continues to leak oil to this day.)
