I believe of the 2402 military killed in the Pearl Harbor attack 1177 people died when the USS Arizona sank. It trapped them in the ship and drowned them to death.
Two battleships lay on the harbor's bottom: USS Arizona and USS Utah (which was re-designated a training/target ship for aircraft).
The USS Nevada (BB-36) lost 50 killed and 109 wounded at Pearl Harbor.

The USS Arizona Memorial commemorates the men who died on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It is built over the remains of the USS Arizona. The Arizona was one of the ships sunk in the attack, and the remains of many sailors are still aboard.

The tomb of over 1,000 men; the battleship USS Arizona.
I believe you are thinking of the anchor that is on display as part of the USS Arizona memorial. This anchor was actually recovered from the wreckage of the USS Arizona and stands at the entrance of the memorial. The USS Arizona is actually considered a "grave" because the remains of many of the men who served aboard her are still entombed within the ship.
The US dead in the attack on Hawaii were from all over the US. Most of the men killed were sailors in the US Navy. There were about 2400 men killed, and around 1800 were Navy men, around 400 were Army men, and the rest were Marines. Almost half the men who were killed died on the USS Arizona when it blew up. The peacetime Navy had allowed brothers to join up and serve together. There were 77 pairs of brothers who died on the Arizona, among the nearly 1200 men killed aboard her. Over 400 more Navy sailors died on the USS Oklahoma when it turned over.

You can find a list of the 1,177 men lost on the USS Arizona at the National Park Service's official website for Pearl Harbor National Memorial, which includes detailed information about the ship and its crew. Additionally, the USS Arizona Memorial website and various historical archives, such as the U.S. Navy and the National Archives, provide access to casualty lists and personal stories of those who served. Local libraries or military history museums may also have resources related to the USS Arizona and its crew.
