Your time at Pearl Harbor includes a solemn visit to this war memorial. Over 1100 souls are interred in the ship since it was destroyed during the Japanese attack in 1941.

The newly upgraded and fully renovated submarine museum is a great place to spend your tour time. The exhibits are well thought out, and there is plenty for young children to do. The position right on the harbor provides beautiful views from the covered areas. This makes for an ideal location for families to hang out and relax.
