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.

Paid Parking Proposed for USS Arizona Memorial

From the July30, 2021, Honolulu Star Advertiser by William Cole.

The National Park Service said today  that it wants public feedback  on a proposal to implement paid public parking at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial to support deferred upkeep and maintenance on the USS Arizona Memorial as well as park sites on Ford Island including the USS Utah and USS Oklahoma Memorials.

The $7 a day parking fee would be managed by the park service.  This would start in 2023.  Admission to the USS Arizona visitor center and Memorial remains free,

Sounds like a good plan to me to bring in much-needed funds.

A new $56 million Pearl Harbor Visitor Center was dedicated in 2010 on the 69th anniversary of the attack.
