The USS Utah was hit by Japanese torpedoes on December 7, 1941, and capsized within minutes, marking one of the initial attacks of the infamous day.
Alongside the USS Arizona, the USS Utah remains in the harbor as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the attack.
Before its tragic end, the USS Utah served as a battleship and was later converted into a target ship for training exercises.
The memorial consists of a simple plaque and a flagpole, marking the resting place of the ship and honoring the 58 men who perished.
Located on Ford Island, the memorial is less accessible to the public, contributing to its quieter, more reflective atmosphere.
The memorial is included in the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, which commemorates the events of December 7, 1941.
The USS Utah was launched on December 23, 1909, and served in various capacities before its sinking in 1941.
