A Message from the President of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association
LOCATION OF USS UTAH MEMORIAL
The photo below (Satellite Imagery from Google Earth) says it all. We added names. In the top left hand section of the photo, USS UTAH's hull is mostly submerged, but is clearly outlined, as is USS ARIZONA's on the right.
WELCOME
This is the "Official" web site for the USS UTAH Association of which I am a proud member. Our goal is to further USS Utah's Internet presence, to add additional eyewitness reports, promote camaraderie among the remaining survivors, and to honor all who served on this grand old ship.
We hope this site will be a catalyst for our entire membership, which now includes relatives of USS Utah personnel and anyone who has a genuine interest in the Naval History of the United States of America, and particularly in the history of USS Utah BB31/AG16.
To accomplish our mission, we welcome further information appropriate for this web site. If there are survivors, relatives or descendants of crew members of USS Utah with stories, photos or something you would like to see here, we would like to hear from you. We welcome survivor's eyewitness stories. We especially welcome information and photos of those, most of whom were so very young, gave their lives on December 7th, 1941. This is one way you can honor their memory. Please e-mail us at: william.hughes2ATtx.rr.com.
USS UTAH (AG16) rests on the west side of Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and is not mentioned in tourist brochures. Most persons visiting the historical sights at Pearl Harbor see the more publicized sites, including the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri Museum, and the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum. The USS Utah Memorial is one of two National Memorials at Pearl, the other being USS Arizona. All the sites named are important reminders of our heritage and history and we encourage everyone to visit each.
USS UTAH memorial is little more difficult to visit by virtue of it's location within the confines of a military reservation. However, it can be done. This website, in addition to revisiting the ship's history and reviewing the Utah's story of December 7, 1941, attempts to inform the public on ways to visit the Utah Memorial. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii please read the information published here on how to visit the USS Utah Memorial.
There is now a bridge to Ford Island thus the USS Utah memorial can be visited more easily. There is a Guard Gate on the bridge, and entrance requires prior arrangement with the Navy, or be escorted by an Active Duty or Retired Military person. Please click the "Visit the Utah" link below for additional information.
Our Photo Gallery will post photos of anyone who served on USS Utah at any time - 1911 - 1941.
