Present Day Pearl Harbor
Today Pearl Harbor still serves as a US Naval Base and the USS Arizona serves
as a memorial for the soldiers who died in the attack. Some of the soldiers who
who survived in the attack have their ashes buried down with the sunk ships
so they can be buried with their shipmates.

The USS Arizona was carrying a full load of fuel on
the day of the attack, almost 1.5 million gallons.
Even after all of the fires, 500,000 gallons are still
leaking from the ship. Every day, even 70 years later,
9 quarts of oil and fuel still leak into the harbor each day.
