  We start off the day at Pearl Harbor.
  Heading into the visitor center. (Since it is a national historic site no entrance fee for the boat ride out to the memorial).
  Due to the visitor center being rebuilt they are playing a brief film in an outdoor theater.

  Looking out toward the memorial (across the harbor) from the movie theater.
  Looking across the harbor there was a large radar rig in for some servicing. The bus driver said this was from the Bering Sea
  The Missouri sits right next to the Arizona Memorial across the harbor.

  Movie time.. it was hard to see and if my memory is correct is the same film they used to show inside. Wonder if the new center will have a new/updated film.
  For you history buffs this is an interesting shot. The start of the war (the Arizona) is on the right and the end of the war (the Missouri) is on the left.
  The small garden area we exited out into features a memorial to the submarine fleet (that is the Bowfin in the background)

  A closer look.
  Here comes our launch to get out to the memorial.
  For those not familiar with how this works, you pick up a ticket and it has a time for your launch. You line up and get a ride out. You then have free time to roam the memorial until the next launch shows up to take you back.

  A Navy ship docked nearby, this is still an active port/base.
  The have the moorings painted so you can see where the battleships were lined up on the morning of the attack.

  A great shot of the Missouri as we approached the memorial.
  No photography is allowed on the walkway (to keep everything moving and for safety)
  Once inside you can. Here is a look as you first enter. On the left is the return line and the Missouri beyond it. Under us is the remains of the Arizona.

  Heading further back in the memorial and looking at where we came. There is also a hole to look down.
  The water was a little too choppy to see much.
  The back of the memorial features a listing of the names of the men who died onboard.
