As a result of the destruction of the battleship, 1177 people died, of which more than 900 was immured in the interior of a combat ship.
However, a number of crew members of the "Arizona" still survived, and those who survived in the fire of further battles of the Second World War, many years after it ended, came to the ceremony dedicated to the 7 tragedy of December 1941.
The 5 crew members of this battleship are still alive: Lonnie Cook (98 years), Luren Bruner (98 years), Kan Potts (97 years), Lou Conter (97 years) and Don Stratton (96 years). True, for the first time in all the post-war time, none of them will be able to attend, for health reasons, an event related to the attack of the Japanese on the US Navy base in Hawaii.
However, 40 is still living American veterans of the war in the Pacific participated in the solemn ceremony of memory (of this number, about half - those who survived the blow to Pearl Harbor).
In conclusion, we will quote the words of the Managing Director of the ceremony:
