the reason why the Arizona is still at the bottom of Pearl Harbor is due to the fact that the military decided to make it a memorial for all the sailors who died that day. When the ship sank, fires burned for days and rescue workers could not get to her or to any of the crew members who went down with the ship. After a few months the navy was able to remove a few hundred bodies but due to the location and the resources available, the navy was only able to due a minimal salvage removal. As time progressed, many thought of the ship to be a tomb for over 1000 sailors.
