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.

USS Arizona Memorial Boat Tours Are Back, But For How Long?

From the January 7, 2022, Forbes "Hawaii:  Boat tours to the Arizona Memorial are back... but for how long?" by Will McGough.

Boat tours were canceled for nearly a month, but are back again.  The closure this time stemmed from on-going issues with the  dock that attaches to the Memorial, making it unsafe for boats to dock and unload.

In 2018, a same-but-different problem with the dock resulted   in the Arizona being closed for fifteen months, much to the dismay of the thousands of people who visit Pearl Harbor each day.  The boat went out, but just passed by.

Plans are to replace the dock completely later this year at which time the Memorial will be closed again.
