when was the arizona memorial built in pearl harbor
USS Arizona Memorial The memorial, built in 1962, has been visited by more than two million people annually.[1] Accessible only by boat, it straddles the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it. Historical information about the attack, shuttle boats to and from the memorial, and general visitor services are available at the associated USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center, which opened in 1980 and is operated by the National Park Service. The battleship's sunken remains were declared a National Historic Landmark on May 5, 1989.[2] Due to damage to its loading ramp, the USS Arizona Memorial was "closed indefinitely" on May 25, 2018.[3]
