Senior Crew Posts: 183 | Subject: RE: December 7, 1941 I spent the better part of 3 years in Pearl, and never took the time to consider the events of Dec.7. At that time I think there were still some signs of the damage that had occurred. One more case of life sometimes being wasted on the young. | ||

Every time we passed the Arizona the colors were dipped and all on deck stood at attention and rendered a hand salute. The Utah was still visible though no salute was given even though 58 mean died aboard her that day. I do not know if they were recovered. | ||

Her rusting hulk remains in Pearl Harbor, partially above water; the men killed when Utah sank were never removed from the wreck, and as such, she is considered a war grave. | ||
