The Battleship USS Arizona carried 12 main guns of 14 inch (360mm) diameter mounted in 4 turrets (each with 3 guns). These were the ship's primary weapons.
Secondary armament consisted of twenty-four (24) 5inch (130mm) guns.
There were also other small caliber weapons including machine guns and rifles but they were not nearly as important to ship defenses (at least as conceived) as the aforementioned large caliber guns.
Side Note: The most forward main-gun turret (14inch) was left in place during salvage work that was done on the Arizona after the Pearl Harbor attack of 7 Dec 1941. This turret is still in place but not visible in the murky harbor water. (In fact, its existence was only 'rediscovered' when the ship was examined by the National Parks Service in the 1980's. Salvage records did not indicate this turret had been left in place and divers were very surprised to find it.)
