The symbolism is undeniable. On one end is the USS Arizona Memorial;
a few hundred yards away is the USS Missouri. These two battleships,
at rest in Pearl Harbor, represent
the beginning and the end of WWII. This video tells the story of these
great American battleships - one proudly afloat, the other tragically below
the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
