From the Dec. 18, 2013, Stars and Stripes "USS Arizona Memorial tour draws respectful multitudes to Pearl Harbor" by Terry Richard.
The National Park Service does a magnificent job handling and keeping crowds coming to the memorial respectful. It draws over a million visitors a year.
Lines form at 7 a.m. and persons get a free timed ticket. After which they tour the Arizona museum located on the grounds and then, when their time arrives, they take a five minute trip to the sunken ship. Two launches are used and leave every 75 minutes.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
