A WWII collector sent me the photo above,
and asked me to paint an image of the solemn
USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.
From
Wikipedia: "The wreck still lies at the bottom of Pearl
Harbor. The USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated in 1962 to all those
who died during the Pearl Harbor attack, was built astraddle
the ship's hull. The Arizona retains the right, in perpetuity,
to fly the United States flag as if she were an active, commissioned
naval vessel."
