From the April 13, 2016, Honolulu Civil Beat "USS Arizona Dock To be Replaced" by Bianca Smallwood.
It will be dismantled and removed June 13 to June 26. The ship receives 1.8 million visitors a year and during this time period, it can only be seen from a boat ride.
But, the USS Bowfin submarine, USS Missouri and Pacific Aviation Museum will remain open.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
