it is still leaking out from the ship, a battleship had to carry a billion gallons of fuel oil, so it'll be leaking for a very long time. it is only a couple drops a minute or something very small

from what i've heard some survivors request to be put back in the ship as their resting place with their fellow sailors, it would have to be opened up for that

you guys don't need to hammer on those that don't know about it
lets use this as a constructive learning experience, not a pissing match
Oil droplets bubble to the surface of Pearl Harbor above the USS Arizona, creating a vivid link to the past. On a quiet Sunday morning December 7, 1941 a Japanese surprise air attack left the Pacific Fleet in smoldering heaps of broken, twisted steel. Here, peace was interrupted and paradise lost. In hours, 2,390 futures were stolen, half of these casualties from the battleship Arizona.

Behind the shadows of destroyed airfields, aircraft, and ships, America fought fear, and a determined enemy responding with an unrivaled war effort. An epic battle for democratic ideals and world freedom would bloody the fields of Europe and the islands of the Pacific over the next four years.

Today, visitors come from around the world to see the USS Arizona Memorial, which spans the mid-portion of the sunken battleship. The national memorial is designed to encourage quiet contemplation, and to appeal to our memory and sense of sacrifice.

:confused::confused::confused:

are you kidding??? the ship exploded and sunk killing most on board during the Japanese sneak attack on Dec 7, 1941....They build the memorial directly on top of the ship...
