Several ships were in Pearl Harbor on the morning of 7 December, 1941. All of them were attacked and they all experienced significant damage. The Japanese military had destroyed the U.S. military presence in the Pacific. That had been their intent. Japan wanted to be undeterred as they marched across the islands of the Pacific. The USS Arizona was just one of the many ships that was destroyed that day. The Arizona became a symbol of the destruction that took place that day and the lives that were taken.
