| Site Description | USS Arizona Operational History and Significance
USS Arizona (BB-39) was a Pennsylvania-class battleship commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1916 and later assigned to the Pacific Fleet. On December 7, 1941, Arizona was moored at Pearl Harbor when Japanese forces attacked. A bomb detonated the ship’s forward ammunition magazines, causing a catastrophic explosion that sank the battleship and killed 1,177 crew members.
Today, the USS Arizona remains on the bottom of Pearl Harbor and serves as both a historic artifact and a war grave. The site is one of the most significant physical places associated with the December 7 attack and the entry of the United States into World War II.
The National Park Service stewards the USS Arizona Memorial and associated resources, working to preserve, document, protect, and interpret the site and the stories of those who served and died aboard Arizona. The site provides an important connection between the physical remains of the battleship, the people associated with it, and the larger history of Pearl Harbor and World War II. | |
| Project Description | The Sonic 2024 was used to survey most of the Arizona using a small vessel of opportunity. Due to very shallow water and the Memorial itself, a Sonic 2020 was mounted on an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) to survey the areas where the manned vessel could not survey. QPS QINSy software was used for the multibeam data collection. Multibeam data were post processed in QINSy, Fledermaus, and HyPack. Applanix POSPac processing was also employed for PPK positioning. LIDAR was used to scan the above-water structures. Dive teams performed visual inspection and photographed the hull structures.

| Curator Notes | This dataset is only a derivative product, lacking raw data for reprocessing. Though the project description mentions above water terrestrial LiDAR, this model seems to only include the below water model from multibeam sonar. |
