Description: View of the starboard side of the sunken battleship's collapsed foremast and midships area, taken at Pearl Harbor on 9 December 1941, two days after the Japanese attack that destroyed her. A motor whaleboat is at left, apparently carrying an inspection party. On the opposite side of Arizona is USS Tern (AM-31), spraying water on the still-hot wreckage. Stern of USS West Virginia (BB-48), also sunk in the Japanese raid, is at right. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
