Equally inspiring is the USS Utah Memorial, which is located on the north side of Ford Island. For those that do not know, Ford Island is located in the middle of Pearl Harbor. It has Navy housing, a Brig, and a large number of hangars/work buildings. In the photo below you can see officer housing directly across the street from the memorial's parking area. I'm pretty sure you can't get out there w/o a DOD ID or on a tour.

On board the Utah is a Sailor who was carrying the cremated remains of one of his twin daughters. The sailor and the urn remain there today.
