Certainly not me...was just out there this week, and had some time after my work had wrapped up for the trip to get out to the Arizona Memorial and take a tour of the submarine Bowfin on Friday.
You can still smell the oil as it slowly leaks from the Arizona, about a gallon a day, makes quite a large slick that eventually is dissipated down-tide.

There will be a Webcast of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Day Parade from out there that will commence at 2200 EST/1700 HST at pearlharborparade.org.  There were many high school and other marching bands from the USA
 and Japan staying in town who will be marching,

Bowfin tour was great, except that access to the Radio Room was limited, you can just look in through a locked plexiglass panel from the passageway.   Very original and complete, as is all of the boat, has RAK/RAL, RBM, TCS sets with the big AC supply, LM, and (I think) a TBL, you could not see it from outside the room as it front panel faced outboard away from the passaageway.

It appears that these redios were used until the ship was decommissioned around 1970, ome of the meters on the diesel generator control panels had 1966 calibration stickers on them.

Good Afternoon Richard,

yesterday and today in Rembrance of the " Day That Will Live in Infamy ".
I only wish we could have been on the air longer. And to all those who
Have Served and to Those Who are Serving Now. THANK YOU.
