From the December 22, 2016, AP "USS Arizona Memorial to close as leaders of U.S. and Japan visit."
The National Par service will close the USS Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor Visitors Center during the visit by President Obama and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today, Tuesday.
The World War II submarine USS Bowfin, moored at the Center, will also be closed.
But the Pacific Aviation Museum and USS Missouri memorial, both by Ford Island, 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.
