USS Utah Memorial
The Utah has not received the recognition that other warships associated with the Pearl Harbor attack have. To many, the Utah is the forgotten battlewagon of what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called “a date which will live in infamy.”
The USS Utah Memorial can only be visited if you have a military ID and you drive yourself to Ford Island. Sadly, when we arrived, there were no other cars in the parking lot.
