The U.S. Navy never authorized the salvage of the USS Arizona primarily due to the ship's status as a memorial to the lives lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The decision was also influenced by the significant amount of oil still leaking from the ship, which posed environmental concerns. Additionally, the preservation of the wreck site was deemed important for historical and educational purposes, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II.
