We spent the morning at the Pearl Harbor Memorial today. The upper image shows the most famous building of the memorial, which is a building sitting over the USS Arizona, sunk during the attack on December 7, 1941. We went during neutral tide, and the small piece of rusted stack (lower left) is the only part of the ship that could be seen. The entire ship is actually there underwater though, as the scale model shows (lower-right). Apparently much more of the ship can be seen if you visit during maximum low tide, which we recommend to anyone that makes this visit.

The USS Arizona Memorial is reached by taking a short 5 minute ferry from the main memorial grounds. While on the ride, a Navy Sailor (upper-left) gives a short introduction to the history and the courtesy rules for attending. Even though we were on the first trip of the morning, and the current COVID travel restrictions have reduced tourism dramatically, the ferry was still fully sold out (upper-right).

The USS Arizona Memorial building is actually not very large (bottom row), and the scheduled visit time of 15 minutes is sufficient to absorb everything that is available.

There is considerably more to be seen at the Pearl Harbor Memorial on shore though. As you enter the main museum, there are initially slide shows and films from the day of the attack.

As you continue through the museum, there are various annotated photographs, where more detail of the events, the ships, and the people can be explored.

The main grounds of the memorial include a tribute to the 4000 submariners who have lost their lives in service to the US Navy (middle and upper-left), plus some well done statues (lower-left) and ships that were damaged in the Dec 7 attack, but did not sink.

The overall feeling was one of appropriate somber reflection over an important event in US history.
It does not have the impact of the World Trade Center memorial in New York City built 50+ years later though. If you decide to visit, order tickets from the official website and not the commercial sites (same experience at 1/10 the cost).
