USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center Museum - USS Arizona Model
As a battleship, the USS Arizona was designed to meet enemy battleships and engage them in a swirling and deliberate sea battle. The Arizona was equipped with four gun turrets each with three 14-inch guns capable of firing a 1400 pound projectile nearly 20 miles. Although she was built for naval war, she never had the opportunity to engage the enemy at sea. The model on display in the museum, donated by the Fleet Reserve Association, is scheduled for replacement later this year.
