The U.S.S. Arizona was a power house in the U.S.A.'s Navy. It was a large destroyer that was tragically sunken at the attack of Pearl Harbor. This is a photo of the Arizona in New York just before it set sail for Hawaii. The Attack on Pearl Harbour was a surprise to all it was a dramatic time in World War were Japan decided to join the war on the German side. The destroyer went down because of the many torpedoes launched from Japanese planes and some even think there was also small submarines firing at U.S. ships. In the end this battle marked a horrible loss for America but it gave us motivation to go destroy everything and anything Japanese.
