The fc'avy learned the hard way 15 years ago today when Japa nese dive bombers sneaked in over Pearl Harbor and knocked out 13 fillips of the line. Never again will R6 warships be nestled in the sprawling port as they were on Dec. 7, 1941.. .With radar receivers sweeping the sky, and early warning pianes extending the line far out to sea, enemy bombers would Imd the harbor deserted even if they got through to unload their bombs.

Only the Arizona, which took a l,000-!b bomb down one of her stacks remains as a reminder of yesterday's tragedy. The Arizona lies in 35 feet of water, where 1.102 sailors were entombed in her gutted passageways and compartments. The vic tims included men from ev.ery American state.

A wooden platform with a flagpole over what was the tripod mast is the marker alwve the water line. ' , c o o ' Despite her rusted appearance, however, the Arizona is the number one attraction of the 5,000 persons who come to Pearl Harbor every month. The Js'avy conducts an hour-long cruise0 around the harbor, tracing the destruction. A young enlisted man quietly describes the attack. Few can hold back tears. Hawaii's Pacific War Memorial commission hopes to -turn the vessel into a national shrine, encasing the hull in concrete topro vide a more permanent tomb for the dead sailors. A memorial plaque listing their names has been proposed on a site rieor the wreck. It will take time, money and probably an act of Congress, but the commission is confident that the Arizona will become a proper resting place for those who died in the attack.
