The memorial commemorates the 429 crew members who lost their lives when the USS Oklahoma was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The battleship was hit by multiple torpedoes and capsized within minutes, making it one of the most significant losses of the attack.
These walls are inscribed with the names of the sailors and Marines who perished, serving as a solemn reminder of their sacrifice.
It is located on Ford Island, which is part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, a site dedicated to preserving the history of the attack.
The ship was righted and refloated in 1943, but it was too damaged to return to service and was eventually sold for scrap.
The USS Oklahoma Memorial was officially dedicated on December 7, 2007, marking the 66th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.
The design and construction were made possible through the efforts of the USS Oklahoma Memorial Committee and the National Park Service.
Visitors can pay their respects and learn about the history of the USS Oklahoma as part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial tour.
