Numerous artifacts from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor can be appreciated at your own pace. Guests then ride on the Navy launch across Pearl Harbor to the Arizona Memorial. Here the sunken remains of the USS Arizona and the resting place of more than 1,000 sailors were killed in the December 7, 1941 attack.

Restored planes are lined up in Hangar 79, an 80,000 square foot seaplane hangar. At each end, the hangar doors blue glass windows are still riddled with bullet holes left by the Japanese attack. From the site of the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor to the signing of the surrender aboard the USS Missouri, guests walk in the footsteps of America’s courageous heroes.

The next special guided tour is on the USS Missouri. This battleship received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992.
