 USS ARIZONA TO USS MISSOURI, FROM TRAGEDY TO VICTORY. -- DVD Video -- The heroic story of the USS Missouir & the USS Arizona: One proudly afloat, the other tragically below the calm waters of Pearl Harbor.
The symbolism is undeniable. On one end is the USS Arizona Memorial, a few hundred yards away is the USS Missouri. These two battleships, at rest in Pearl Harbor, represent the beginning and the end of WWII.
This video tells the story of these great American battleships - One proudly afloat, the other tragically below the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
