Historical background: USS Arizona (BB-39) is a Pennsylvania-class American battleship launched in 1915 and commissioned into the US Navy in 1916. The vessel served during the interwar period and became famous during World War II, especially during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The ship was armed with heavy 14-inch (356 mm) guns as well as secondary batteries of 5"/51 and 5"/25, which provided her with firepower for both surface combat and anti-aircraft defense. The battleship was sunk during the Japanese attack on Hawaii, and its wreck is now a national memorial site in the United States.
