Arizona was placed "in ordinary" (declared to be temporarily out of service) at Pearl Harbor on 29 December, and was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 December 1942.[2] She was so badly damaged by the magazine explosion that she was not thought fit for service even if she could be salvaged, unlike many of the other sunken ships nearby.[56] Her surviving superstructure was scrappedin 1942, and her main armament was salvaged over the next year and a half.[57] The aft main gun turrets were removed and reinstalled as United States ArmyCoast Artillery Corps Battery Arizona at Kahe Point on the west coast of Oahu and Battery Pennsylvania on the Mokapu Peninsula, covering Kaneohe Bay at what is now Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Battery Pennsylvania fired its guns for the first and last time on V-J Day in August 1945 while training, while the nearby Battery Arizona was never completed.[58] Both forward turrets were left in place, although the guns from Turret II were salvaged and later installed on Nevada in the fall of 1944 after having been straightened and relined.[59] Nevada later fired these same guns against the Japanese islands of Okinawaand Iwo Jima.[60] Arizona memorialsEdit Main article: USS Arizona Memorial Unlike USS Constitution, Arizona is not perpetually in commission.[61] Arizona is under the control of the National Park Service, but the U.S. Navy still retains the title.[2] Arizona retains the right, in perpetuity, to fly the United States flag as if she were an active, commissioned naval vessel.[61]  Aerial view of the USS Arizona Memorial, showing the wreck and oil seepage from the ship's bunkers The wreck of Arizona remains at Pearl Harbor to commemorate the men of her crew lost that December morning in 1941. On 7 March 1950, Admiral Arthur W. Radford, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet at that time, instituted the raising of colors over her remains.[62] Legislation during the administrations of presidents Dwight D. Eisenhowerand John F. Kennedy resulted in the designation of the wreck as a national shrine in 1962. A memorial was built across the ship's sunken remains, including a shrine room listing the names of the lost crew members on a marble wall. The national memorialwas administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 15 October 1966. The ship herself was designated a National Historic Landmarkon 5 May 1989.[63] Upon their death, survivors of the attack may have their ashes placed within the ship, among their fallen comrades. Veterans who served aboard the ship at other times may have their ashes scattered in the water above the ship.[64] While the superstructure and two of the four main gun turrets were removed, the barbette of one of the turrets remains visible above the water.[61] Since her sinking, oil still leaks from the hull, with more than 2.3 quarts (2.18 l) escaping into the harbor per day.[65]The Navy, in conjunction with the National Park Service, has recently overseen a comprehensive computerized mapping of the hull, being careful to honor its role as a war grave.[66] The Navy is considering non-intrusive means of abating the continued leakage of oil to avoid the further environmental degradation of the harbor.[67] One of the original Arizona bells now hangs in the University of Arizona Student Union Memorial Center bell tower. The bell is rung after every home footballvictory, over any team except other Arizona schools.[68] A gun, mast, and anchor from Arizona are in Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza just east of the Arizona State Capitol complex in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The gun's plaque states that it was not on the ship during the Pearl Harbor attack, but was being relined and to be mounted on the battleship Nevada. It is paired with a gun from the battleship Missouri to represent the start and end of the Pacific War for the United States.[69] Other artifacts from the ship, such as items from the ship's silver service, are on permanent exhibit in the Arizona State Capitol Museum.[70] Every two years the Navy awards "The USS ArizonaMemorial Trophy" to the ship, determined by the Chief of Naval Operations, to have achieved the highest combat readiness in Strike warfare, Surface Fire Support and Anti-Surface warfare. The 3-foot-tall (0.91 m) bronze trophy on a black marble base was provided to the Navy by the citizens of the state of Arizona on 7 December 1987.[71]

The glass bottom boat tour over the Sweepstakes is very nice with a surprisingly sharp clear look at the wreck, then hiking on a nearby island.

She was renamed “RPS Hospital ng Tulungan”... But two years after commisioning, it was caught on fire, and was abandoned... Right now, it’s located somewhere off the coast of the Province of Leyte... Although you cannot really go near it, you can still take images of it from a few meters away... So basically, it can still be considered as a “tourist destination”...

I note when you are discussing the 2,272Gt. Eduard Bohlen wreck on the West African Coast that (at 4:36), you actually display a picture of the 12,891Gt. MV Dunedin Star which wasn't launched until 1936 and was operated by the Blue Star Line until her loss during WW2 on the same stretch of coast. Wondering if you inadvertently mixed up copies of the Eduard Bohlen and Dunedin Star? Oh and a little further on (at 5:08) you mention the loss of the ship in 1909 in a storm? She (as far as I know?) ran aground in thick fog?

I'm surprised you didn't include HMHS Britannica, sister ship of the Titanic, she was a hospital ship during the 1st WW and was sunk when she hit a German mine and now lies in 400ft of water in the Kea Channel; a strait of water between the island of Kea and island of Makronisos in Greece.
