USS Arizona (BB-39)
View of the sunken battleship's forward superstructure, showing
damage caused when her forward magazines exploded during the
7 December 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The photograph
was taken on 17 February 1942, as work began to remove the collapsed
wreckage.
The crane in the left background was then removing Arizona's
mainmast.
